This is a problem in building with Mandrake linux that was not present with lyx-1.3.0pre2 but appeared with 1.3.0. Instead of commenting out a lot of lines in the configure script, you need to set more options telling it exactly where all the qt things live ./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3 --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib Everything should then work fine. I hope this helps Morgan
