I tried to configure lyx and I got this problem, as in the README file
here is a very nasty bug in LyX 1.2.2 configure script: if you
configure as root and an error occurs during the configure step
(e.g. xforms not found), the the script will delete the /dev/null
device. This undoubtly leads to very bad effect, since /dev/null is a
very basic device in any unix system.
If you have been victim of this problem, please complain on i
lyx-users@lists.lyx.org to get information on how to
reconstruct it.
can you help me?
