I compiled lyx about a dozen times in the last month and did not have
any problem beside the usual missing packages. I run lyx on a 64 bit
ubuntu 9.10, debian and others. I downloaded from the lyx homepage. As I
tried to compile today on an ubuntu 9.10 running on an amd, I got some
problems, some data here:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+
stepping : 1
cpu MHz : 1477.409
cache size : 256 KB
OK, not a really bolide, but good enough for text processing and surfing.
