I too once tried to build LyX from source and gave up. MacPorts already has LyX, currently at 2.0.6 http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=lyx I have not used MacPorts for LyX. I'm currently using 2.1beta2 which is not available there. I wonder if the maintainer could be cajoled into keeping a beta version as well. Jerry
