For some reason I always went to the subversion.tigris webpage and it looked to complicated or the LyX webpage went over my head for some reason. However, that seems very simple. I'm installing svn from Fink Commander right now. Then I'll get the latest sources and test them out with Qt4.3 and see how everything works. I'm still on the make command for Qt4.3 so it may take a while to get everything working. Takes a long time to compile packages on this old iBook. Thanks for all the help and tips!! Bob Lounsbury
