Dependecies

Package dependecies

The aim of this page is to list required dependecies and problems for packagers of LyX.

Qt:

LyX 2.0.x series need Qt >= 4.2, widely tested with 4.6 and 4.7. Be prepared that although is LyX compilable with older Qt's it also unstable with them.

LyX 1.6.x series need Qt >= 4.2, 4.5 is optimal (all features enabled).

LyX 1.5.x series need Qt >= 4.1

Ghostscript:

Avoid Ghostscript 8.70.
