Hi Holger, (sorry for replying to you directly) one thing first: to get the error messages in english (which would be more helpfull when posting in an english list), enter LC_ALL=C dpkg -i xxx So you don't have to translate yourself (not that it would have been bad)

(As I'm sure that lyx doesn't ship with cm-type1 fonts this is most certainly a checkinstall bug). As this file is already in the tetex-extra package the debian package management system prevents istallation, which is perfectly fine. What you have to do is prevent checkinstall from including this file into the deb package, unfortunately I don't know how, maybe checkinstall has the ability to exclude some files from the built package. As an alternative maybe you can use stow instead of checkinstall: $ apt-get install stow $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/lyx-1.4.0cvs-20031215 <other opts...> $ make && su -c "make install" $ cd /usr/local/stow $ stow lyx-1.4.0cvs-2003-12-15 and voila, lyx is accessible in /usr/local/bin/lyx. (To uninstall it, use $ stow -D lyx-1.4.0cvs-2003-12-15 in /usr/local/stow). My 2c, Karsten
