Removing rc1 is not necessary for correct operation of lyx 2.2.0 in
this case. The rc1 lyx you compiled is named "lyx-22", and won't
interfere with the packaged lyx named "lyx".
You may of course still want to remove the older lyx-22 to save space
or have a tidy filesystem. The binaries:
rm /usr/local/lyx-22*
(removes lyx-22 and lyxclient-22. You must be root or use sudo to do
this)
Other lyx files:
rm -r /usr/local/share/lyx-22
(removes everything else, templates, scripts, document classes and so
on. You must be root for this too.)
Check if there is anything else left:
find /usr/local/ -name "lyx-22*"
If anything is found, consider removing it. If it has "-22" in the
name, it is only needed for lyx-22 and should be of little use for
anything else.
Personal lyx-22 rc1 stuff:
rm -r ~/.lyx-22
(removes settings, customizations and personal templates for this
particular lyx. If you have saved anything in here, such as your own
templates or document classes, then you may want to copy it into the
new .lyx/ folder first. )
The distro package system installs lyx stuff in /usr/share/lyx/, which
is a different folder from those used by lyx-22. The distributed
binaries should be /usr/bin/lyx and /usr/bin/lyxclient, and the
personal folder for settings etc. is ~/.lyx/
A lyx you install with "make install" goes in /usr/local/... so it
won't interfere with anything from the package management system of
the linux distribution. And when you use "--with-version-suffix=22",
everything will be tagged with that convenient "-22". This makes
removal easier, and allows installation of many versions of lyx
simultaneously, which is useful for testing & development. All
different versions should use different version-suffix.

Thanks, Helge, for explaining all this in detail which is very helpful
for me, especially the various places for lyx.
As far as my question re ngerman is concerned, I noticed that the
summary is also in German, which explains that it is needed.
