Readme.MacOSX refers to ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-mac-1.3.5-skeleton.tar.gz. That file doesn't exist - it's actually a .zip file.
Configure ignores (some of) the --datadir, --bindir and --mandir options. I set them all to /Users/mwm/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/... to install 1.4.0CVSin ~/Applications, and "make intsall" still installed things in /Applications. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
