for your information, when i compile lyx (either 1.6.1/2/3), i get this info when finished: Configuration Host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: use-ispell C Compiler: gcc C Compiler LyX flags: C Compiler flags: -O2 C++ Compiler: g++ (4.3.3) C++ Compiler LyX flags: C++ Compiler flags: -O2 Linker flags: Linker user flags: Qt 4 Frontend: Qt 4 version: 4.5.0 Packaging: posix LyX binary dir: /usr/local/bin LyX files dir: /usr/local/share/lyx Configuration of LyX was successful. Type 'make' to compile the program, and then 'make install' to install it. hope this helps, Michael
