testing compiled lyx 2.0.6
I have compiled lyx 2.0.6 according to 1) ./configure configures LyX according to your system. 2) make compiles the program. 3) src/lyx runs the program so you can check it out. while doing this, I get: LyX: Done! Warning: Could not read configuration file Error while reading the configuration file preferences. Please check your installation. and LyX is not showing up. Does somebody know what I should check in the installation? not yet done: 4) make install will install it. Thanks, Wolfgang

Do you recommend the separate build directory for compiling all programs where you need to ./configure;make;make_install? I would recommend building out of source tree any package.
