Hi Pedro, LyX has been much harder to compile ever since they switched from xforms to qt4. Stephan Witt had a good idea -- if you can install LyX from a package, and if it works, and if it's the right version for you, install from a package. If not, here are some suggestions for taming the LyX vs qt4 beast: * A lot of times you need to install a whole bunch of non-obvious components of qt4. Use your package manager to install anything remotely connected to qt4. Remember what you installed, so you can remove the unnecessary ones once you get LyX working. * Be aware of some unexpected behavior: When you blow a compile, you need to delete your whole compile tree and restore it from the original tarball. Otherwise, sometimes, ghosts of failures past can sabotage what otherwise would be a successful compile.

You should consider to use the ready to run package from www.lyx.org 2. If you want LyX compile yourself you should work in your home dir 3.

This Mandrake's HUGE stupidity. Astonishingly, libstdc++-devel is on the 2nd CD. That's the package you need. I don't know why they bother supplying g++ on the 1st CD when the necessary RPMs are only on the 2nd CD ... *sigh* But then Mandrake are known for including alpha versions of software in their distribution ... and their latest beta includes a kernel which causes FS corruption...
