Yeah, I tried it over a year or so ago. It was originally going to be the wordprocessor (or at least that was the intention) for KDE/KOffice. Kword supplanted it. Klyx hasn't been updated since who knows when. It is likely still even based on lyx-1.1.4 or some other dinosaurian version. I had hopes for it but the developer(s) are not developing it. It is defunct and stagnant. It's too bad it didn't get taken up as the koffice wordprocessor. Koffice could then boast the ONLY linux word processor that can properly and painlessly handle citations, references, and bibliographies. Windows and Macs have this capability in M$ Word and WordPerfect (via apps like EndNote) but no linux wordprocessor can handle it...except lyx - and lyx is really a royal pain to work with because it is not intuitive. Ah well. Anyway, I FINALLY managed to get lyx-1.2.0 built and installed. It's more work than building a kernel. praedor
