As you see i'm not installing in usr/local but in my user dir. Could that be an explanation for some path confusion and not finding the icons ? Now i found that the new ~./lyx/lyxrc.default is exactly the same as the one generated by lyx_1.1.5fix2. Is that OK ? I also tried with the lyxrc.default that is contained in the ~/lyx-1.1.6/lib dir, this too could not be read. Have there been changes in the file format of lyxrc.default ? I have the feeling that it might be rather a read (source, compiler ?) than a file format or location problem (i use gcc version 2.95.1).

Salut Alain: your suggestion sounds like the right remidy ... but it doesn't work here either. Although the --with-lyxname=STRING option is correctly recognized by configure, no "STRING" directory is created in ~/tex/share, see the result of the configure run.

Re: LyX 1.1.6. does not launch on OSF
Hi I got a similar behavior on my PPC . The problem was not with the ~/.lyx directory, but with the /usr/local/share/lyx directory. I configured LyX 1.1.6 with the --with-lyxname=STRING, and it creates a "STRING" directory in /usr/local/share, but seemed to use the "old" /usr/local/share/lyx dir when launched. Note that the application name was still lyx and not STRING. May be I missed the point ( and lost my "old" LyX binary). Anyway, renaming my old /usr/local/share/lyx directory solved the problem. Hope this could help you. Alain P.S. suggestion : Is it possible to suggest, in the INSTALL file, a COMPLETE procedure to install concurent versions of LyX (e.g. to test a new release before switching). This could help stupid users (like me) :-) *** *Alain Castera* * LPNHE - Tour 33 RdC | e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]* * 4 Place Jussieu | Telephone : (+33) 144274187 * * 75252 Paris Cedex 05 | Fax : (+33) 144274638 * * France| * *** On Fri, 19 Jan 2001, Peer Frank wrote: > Hi LyXers ! > > still/again trying to get the thing going.

LyX 1.1.6. does not launch on OSF
Hi LyXers ! still/again trying to get the thing going. LyX is still unable to start (with the former version ~./lyx dir removed); is any other OSF user more lucky ? Now i tried the debug option, maybe this shows an obvious reason that jumps into the eye of some LyXexpert. Idea: unlike for the former versions installation is it perhaps also neccessary to remove files in the ~/tex/share/lyx dir that might be forgotten my the installation script ?
