I'm using the latest lyx 1.6.x from svn which I build with the following commands on kubuntu 10.04 LTS:
/foo/lyx_svn/lyx-1.6.x# ./autogen.sh /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-1.6.x# ./configure --enable-optimization=-O3 /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-1.6.x# checkinstall --default --install=no Checkinstall creates a .deb package that I install with dpkg -i *.deb. Everything works fine as expected. I now wanted to test lyx2.0 alpha4 from svn, so I created a new directory and used the above procedure: /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-devel# ./autogen.sh /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-devel# ./configure --enable-optimization=-O3 /foo/lyx_svn/lyx-devel# checkinstall --default --install=no The building process works, but the .deb package is not build. The following error is shown by checkinstall: dpkg-deb-Fehler: (Original-)Version >>devel<< enthält keine Ziffern dpkg-deb: 1 Fehler in config-Datei To my astonishment lyx2.0 (and not the installed lyx1.6.x) is started when I start lyx although the lyx2.0.deb was not build and not installed using dpkg! My two questions are: -What do I have to do to build the lyx2.0.deb package and -how do I install both versions (1.6.x and lyx2.0) in parallel using dpkg? Stephan
