I don't know. To test that I'd probably have to:
1) Uninstall libqt4-devel
2) rm -rf ~/junk/lyx-1.5.3
3) cd ~/junk
4) tar xjvf lyx-1.5.3-whatever.bz2
5) ./configure
6) reinstall libqt4-devel
7) ./configure
8) make (should error out)
9) make clean
10) ./configure
11) make (should work if make clean is OK)
On my box, every make, whether successful or failure, takes about 25 minutes,
and ./configure takes 5 minutes. I'm not going to have time to do that for at
least a couple weeks.
The answer to that *would* be good to put in the doucmentation.
Thanks
