You are playing the devil's advocate Jean-Marc. You know it can be fiendieshly difficult to compile a recent program on an old Linux. What has caused the most problem for KDE is not the changes of Qt version but the breakage of the C++ ABI, add to that evolution of gcc, small changes of the autotools chain... and for Lyx, Boost. For old versions of Linux, there would be also the possibility of having a klik package : http://klik.atekon.de/search.php?package=lyx. Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
