I was not suggesting that, but it should also work. In the meantime I
have
created an updated diff file and a hopefully better description at
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Linux. Please try that instead. I would build
the .debs myself, but I have no clean sarge install and nobody would be
able to install them.

I am running Simply Mepis - a debian distribution - on an intel machine.
I tried installing 1.3.6 from the tar.gz version while leaving
undisturbed,
the 1.3.4 version installed from the .deb file some time ago.
It was a dream doing so and running src/lyx brought up lyx 1.3.6. After
make
install, which appeared to run without errors, I got the following error
message when trying to run lyx from the command line.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
lyx: cannot connect to X server :0
Calling up an existing lyx document invokes lyx 1.3.4
Anything that I can do about this?

I had a problem like this with Windows. The new version of
LyX was using my old version of LyX config file. Maybe
both versions need seperate lyxrc(?) config files? I only
tinker with Linux and have never tried to run two versions of
LyX on Linux although I do run two versions on Windows.

Stephen
