Re-compiling, and installing seemed to go fine with no obvious errors. The lyx binaries get installed in /usr/local/bin/: $ which lyx /usr/local/bin/lyx And here is the directory structure of /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2: $ pwd /usr/local/lyx-1.5.2 $ ls -l total 2072 -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 68677 2007-08-07 17:20 ABOUT-NLS -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 41586 2007-10-05 12:10 aclocal.m4 -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 10664 2007-10-05 12:01 ANNOUNCE -rwxr-xr-x 1 epatton users 2679 2007-04-26 11:49 autogen.sh drwxrwxrwx 4 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 boost -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 36031 2006-03-12 06:51 ChangeLog drwxrwxrwx 2 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185056 2007-10-30 15:22 config.log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54716 2007-10-30 15:21 config.status -rwxr-xr-x 1 epatton users 1106857 2007-10-05 12:10 configure -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 14024 2007-10-05 04:30 configure.ac -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 18883 2006-11-13 10:21 COPYING drwxrwxrwx 10 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 development -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 14170 2007-07-14 09:40 INSTALL -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 9220 2003-02-06 16:21 INSTALL.autoconf -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 4528 2007-07-11 15:31 INSTALL.cmake -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 4162 2007-07-12 09:57 INSTALL.MacOSX -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 13297 2007-07-30 13:07 INSTALL.scons -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 5143 2007-06-22 21:48 INSTALL.Win32 drwxrwxrwx 2 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 intl drwxrwxrwx 14 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 lib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 206299 2007-10-30 15:20 libtool -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 4876 2007-02-24 14:01 lyx.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 4876 2007-02-24 14:01 lyx.man drwxrwxrwx 2 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 m4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28783 2007-10-30 15:21 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 2026 2007-09-28 08:45 Makefile.am -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 28311 2007-10-05 12:10 Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 89532 2007-10-05 12:01 NEWS drwxrwxrwx 2 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:22 po -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 7257 2007-10-02 10:47 README -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 1254 2006-10-21 05:35 README.Cygwin -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 4894 2007-09-04 21:27 README.localization -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 501 2006-11-04 10:28 README.Win32 -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 1874 2007-10-01 08:08 RELEASE-NOTES drwxrwxrwx 2 epatton users 4096 2007-10-30 15:21 sourcedoc drwxrwxrwx 11 epatton users 12288 2007-10-30 15:49 src -rw-r--r-- 1 epatton users 8357 2007-09-25 06:40 UPGRADING When I actually run lyx, I get a lot of errors on the command line, and a pop-up box, which I've captured in a screenshot you can download from ftp://gsca.nrcan.gc.ca/outgoing/Patton/Lyx_Error.png ~ Eric.
