I'm waiting for Liv to create a .deb package and post it to the PPA

uses the Ubuntu releases. So I do not have it yet.

this is apparently the one I need: qtbase5-dev
Good. Synaptic can install that for you (and will, with your
approval, install any required dependencies).

Thanks, Paul, will wait for Liv's package. Will this be announced in
this list?

I'm not sure. My suggestion is to add the PPA. In the Mint menu, find
and run Software Sources. Click on the PPAs button, then click "Add a
new PPA..." and enter "ppa:lyx-devel/release". After that, refresh the
package database (you'll be prompted to do this). From then onward, the
update manager will add LyX to the suggested updates whenever the PPA
has a new version. You won't get the new versions as quickly as those
who compile from source, but on the bright side updates are about as
painless as possible.
