Okay I'll confess partial guilt here. I tried again on Wednesday to build it again, but instead of distcleaning as I had done before I rm -r 'ed the directory structure and started again as it were with untarring the tarball. It built without problem. The problem I imagine was 'make distclean' missing some 'muck' somewhere as it were. My libforms setup was I believe broken when I first tried to build lyx. So I'm guessing that frontends/.libs/libfrontends.a(xforms.o): was built against the wrong version and was not getting cleaned as it were. Though I am mostly definitely not a programmer, so that could all be completely and utterly wrong. But anyway it worked and I'm happy, so many thanks! Simon
