Steve, no need to compile here ;-). ".deb" packages are compiled stuff for debian-based linux distris. Especially the "getdeb" site [*] is dedicated to bring faster ready-to-use packages for Ubuntu-Linux (because usually it takes some time before new versions of applications land on the official repositories -- that also means that those packages are not tested). So, all you have to do to get LyX 1.6.3 for Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit is a few clicks to download the ".deb's" [1][2], give your password and click Install each time. Most of it is self-explainable :-). If you find that the ".deb" you have installed isn't doing what it should do, you can always remove it the "normal" way, that is using the package manager Synaptic - gui or from the command line. All the best, Nikos --- [*] http://www.getdeb.net for Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit: [1] http://www.getdeb.net/download/4584/1 [2] http://www.getdeb.net/download/4584/0 If you have another version of Ubuntu, then click at http://www.getdeb.net/distro_select.php and select accordingly. Probably there is a ".deb" package for all Ubuntu versions.
