Thanks to all for helping track down my lyx file. Now, when I try to start up lyx I get the following error: /usr/libexec/ld.so: lyx: libintl.so.1.0: no such file or directory Any ideas on what this is? I just did a google search and found a reference to gettext. Is this correct? I thought I would ask before flailing aimlessly. Kent Kostuk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
