Thx, I'm aware of the file format problem. I think I will try to work with 1.2.3 without preview (or only needed previews) some time and decide after a while, whether its worth keeping 1.2.3 (I can copy the text directly into my 1.1.6 document when switching back). Something I don't know whether its right here in users list: when I try to compile 1.1.6fix4 (make after successful configure) I get: ... g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c lastfiles.C lastfiles.C:29: `ostream_iterator' not declared lastfiles.C: In member function `void LastFiles::writeFile(const std::string&) const': lastfiles.C:78: `ostream_iterator' undeclared (first use this function) lastfiles.C:78: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) lastfiles.C:78: parse error before `>' token make[3]: *** [lastfiles.o] Fehler 1 make[3]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses »/home/geog088/lyx-1.1.6fix4/src« make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[2]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses »/home/geog088/lyx-1.1.6fix4/src« make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Fehler 2 make[1]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses »/home/geog088/lyx-1.1.6fix4/src« make: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 here it stops due to that error with lastfiles.C, but the code looks ok (as far as a fortran programmer could say). Is it the compiler (gcc 3.2)? Anything known about that error in "lastfiles.C" ? So even if I try to switch back to 1.1.6fix4 I get into trouble and loosing time.
