If you have checked this out from Subversion, you need to have:
* automake >= 1.5
-* autoconf >= 2.52
+* autoconf >= 2.59c
* gettext >= 0.12
Then type "./autogen.sh" to build the needed configuration
files and proceed as stated below.
This means that gcc users will have to install the relevant libstdc++
library to be able to compile this version of LyX.
-LyX has been tested with Qt 4.2.x and Qt 4.3.x. The only special point
-to make is that you must ensure that both LyX and the Qt libraries are
-compiled with the same C++ compiler.
+LyX has been tested with Qt 4.2/3/4.x. For compilation you need to compile

Note that if Qt is using Xft2/fontconfig, you may need to install the
latex-xft-fonts package (at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/) to get
--with-extra-lib=DIRECTORY/lib --with-extra-inc=DIRECTORY/include
If DIRECTORY is not specified, the current prefix is used.
- o --with-version-suffix[=VERSION] will install LyX as lyx-VERSION,
- e.g. lyx-1.6.1. The LyX data directory will be something like
- <whatever>/lyx-1.6.1/. Additionally your user configuration files
- will be found in e.g. $HOME/.lyx-1.6.1
+ o --with-version-suffix[=SUFFIX] will install LyX as lyxSUFFIX. The
+ LyX data directory will be something like <whatever>/lyxSUFFIX/.
+ Additionally your user configuration files will be found in e.g.

+ e.g. lyx-1.6.1.
You can use this feature to install more than one version of LyX
on the same system. You can optionally specify a "version" of your
