For those looking for an easy way to port between releases of ubuntu and
debian, try looking into pbuilder. It's a nice set of scripts that
creates a build environment in which it installs all the build-deps,
then builds the package in that. The resulting binary packages can then
be installed into
FYI
I have just compiled the new 1.6 on a Debian Lenny system and it went
flawlessly.
# apt-get build-dep lyx
Then the usual ./configure, make, make install.
It looks great! Thanks to all concerned.
