Doing View>Toolbars is impossible, because even the main toolbar where the normal lyx menus exist is missing.
Which directory should I remove under my lyx directory (located at
/usr/local/lyx-1.5.2) ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I've compiled Lyx 1.5.2 from source without errors. When I run Lyx, the main
application window opens up, but all the toolbars are missing. How do I go
about restoring them?
Well, the simple way is View>Toolbars, but if that doesn't work, you may
have have an incompatilibity in your old LyX directory. Try moving or
deleting it.

It might be worth checking the following:
1. Make sure /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2/Resources/ui contains default.ui and
stdmenus.inc.
2. Locate the preferences file in your user directory (probably
~/.lyx). Edit out any entry starting with \ui_file.
3. Check the ui folder under your user directory (likely ~/.lyx/ui) and
move or rename any hacked version of default.ui that might be there.
4. Restart LyX.
I've seen the menus and toolbars disappear if LyX starts with a
customized user interface that it can't digest for some reason.
