Hi, I want to report a problem with 2rc1. I have made a trouble-free
installation of the source tarball on Mandriva linux 2010.0.
[emason@acacia .lyx]$ uname -a
Linux acacia.cmima.csic.es 2.6.31.14-desktop-1mnb #1 SMP Wed Nov 24 10:42:07 EST
2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GNU/Linux
But when I try to start lyx I get the following:
[emason@acacia .lyx]$ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/lyx/scripts/prefs2prefs.py", line 192, in <module>

LyXRC.cpp(395): Unable to convert /home/emason/.lyx/preferences to format 1
Warning: Could not read configuration file
----------------------------------------
Error while reading the configuration file
preferences.
Please check your installation.
I had a previous lyx (1.6.8) installation, which I removed using make clean.
Grateful for any suggestions,
Evan
