Hi,

Here's how to get the latest Lyx running with Slink.

1. Download LyX 1.0.4 source tarball via link on http://www.lyx.org/

2. Make sure that the following are installed from the Stable
   (Slink) directories.

   All sgml components.  I included the following:
     debiandoc-sgml
     perlsgml
     psgml
     sgml-base  **Needed**
     sgml-data  **Needed**
     sgml-tools **Needed**
     sgmlspm
     sp

   TeTeX and LaTeX
     tetex-base  **Needed**
     tetex-bin   **Needed**
     tetex-nonfree **Desireable**
     tetex-extra   **Desireable**

    libXpm components

      xpm4g-dev

    Xforms

3. Extract the lyx tarball into a directory
(I alwasys yse /usr/local/src)
cd to the Lyx directory (lyx-1.0.4).

4. Type:

   ./configure
   make
   make install


That's it.  Lyx is installed
Now all you do is add it to your favorite window manager's menu.

Good luck and enjoy.
