No offense intended Steve but you are obviously confused with version
numbers etc. I even suspect that you didn't even fully read the README
and INSTALL that come with the source. As an end-user, either you wait
for your distro to come with a binary package or you do the required
step by step things you need to do in order to compile LyX. Many users
compile LyX without problems.
Abdel, I think you miss the point that some people do not want to
update their distro, but want to update LyX nevertheless. And many of
these people are faithful LyX users, too.
No, I understand that. What I meant is that compiling software is not
something an end user can do without documenting himself a bit. It's not
that hard.
In the case of Steve, his problem was clearly something he could have
resolved by himself without questioning our choice of development tool.
But I am sure Steve will notice the many nice UI improvements brought
but our choice of Qt and will withdraw his criticism :-)
