Thanks for your reply first of all. In Gentoo, USE="qt" is exactly like saying ./configure --with-frontend=qt This means my lyx was built --with-frontend=qt Does the QT interface requires running a different binary than "lyx", like "lyx-qt" for example or something similar?
Yousef,
No. It should run /usr/local/bin/lyx. Perhaps there is a glitch with the gentoo build script. Or, ... do you have the latest qt installed on your system? If it's not present then the build may use xforms.
Do you have an output file that shows the results of the configuration and build steps? If so, look to see that the configuration found everything it needed. I've not used gentoo so I don't know the steps involved.
well I have the same file under: /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui But does it relate to using XForms instead of QT interface?
Nope. It contains the menu and toolbar contents. It's a text file so you can look at the contents with any text editor.
Forgive me but I'm totally n00b to LyX, LaTeX and TeX! :)
No problem! We were all new to it at some time. Your problem with the wrong interface is a configuration error so that's where to start looking.
I don't have anything under ~/.lyx/bind/
You'll need to copy one of the defaults to there. In my case they're located at:
/usr/local/lyx-1.3.5/lib/bind/cua.bind /usr/local/share/lyx/bind/cua.bind
Apparently gentoo installs applications in /usr rather than /usr/local so look there.
