Salut Alain:
your suggestion sounds like the right remidy ... but it doesn't work
here either. Although the --with-lyxname=STRING option is correctly
recognized by configure, no "STRING" directory is created in
~/tex/share, see the result of the configure run. You wrote "renaming my
old /usr/local/share/lyx directory solved the problem", renaming from
which to which ?
Configuration:
Source code location: .
C++ Compiler: g++
C++ Compiler flags: -g -O2 -fpermissive -fno-rtti
-fno-exceptions
C Compiler: gcc
C Compiler flags: -g -O2
LyX binary dir: /Perfo/peer/tex/bin
LyX files dir: /Perfo/peer/tex/share/lyxnew <--- looks
right, but this dir is not created
Special flags: frontend-xforms included-string
included-libsigc
i keep trying...
:-( peer
