README file for the binary distribution of LyX 1.0.2
|
||
|
|
======================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please read the file README for general information on LyX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use this binary distribution of LyX, please follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Unpack the distribution in the directory /usr/local (if you unpack
|
||
|
|
it in a different place, please read the note below)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Configure LyX for you system by executing
|
||
|
|
cd share/lyx ; ./configure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) Make sure that the directory bin/ is in your path. For example, if
|
||
|
|
you unpacked the distribution in /usr/local, your PATH environment
|
||
|
|
variable should contain "/usr/local/bin".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) If you want to use reLyX, the LaTeX-to-LyX translator, you will
|
||
|
|
have to edit the first line of the script, which should read
|
||
|
|
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
|
||
|
|
if you have perl installed as /usr/local/bin/perl.
|
||
|
|
Note that reLyX requires at least perl version 5.002.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's it. Happy LyXing !
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you did not unpack the distribution in /usr/local
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LyX can perfectly work in this situation, except for one thing: as
|
||
|
|
distributed, LyX expects to find its internationalization files in the
|
||
|
|
directory /usr/local/share/locale. If you unpacked the distribution in
|
||
|
|
directory /foo, you should set the environment variable LYX_LOCALEDIR
|
||
|
|
to point to /foo/share/locale as follows:
|
||
|
|
LYX_LOCALEDIR=/foo/share/locale (if you use sh or bash as shell)
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
setenv LYX_LOCALEDIR /foo/share/locale (for csh or tcsh)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that, if if you do not have any interest in having LyX display
|
||
|
|
its messages in other languages than english, you can safely skip this
|
||
|
|
step.
