Before manually reconfiguring I could open up the Preferences but it would
cause the crash.
Yes, when lyx is installing it runs reconfigure. However, I presume the
problem arose cause I installed as root, so the automatic reconfigure would
have been for root, would it not?
After I ran reconfigure manually the crash no longer appeared. That would also
explain why when I ran lyx from a terminal window I got buckets of warning
about my lyxrc file.
Does this help?
