Forgot to mention: if you don't want to run into compatibility issues between your system-wide (older) LyX installation, that you may prefer to keep to be able to work with LyX documents, and your development experimental installation, you may want to add this to the configure line: ./configure --with-version-suffix=-trunk This will result in your LyX binary looking for ~/.lyx-trunk instead of ~/.lyx, so you'll be able to still launch the system-wide LyX without it complaining that it cannot read anymore the ~/.lyx config files as updated by your trunk lyx version. Similarly, if you install, you'll get the binary called bin/lyx-trunk etc...., namely this way we create a full LyX installation that can coexist with the standard one. T.
