I have a question partially related to your post. I am using Ubuntu 7.10, and 
I cannot install LyX using Synaptic (the package installation system of 
Ubuntu) because I have a TeXLive in stallation, installed from the CD, and 
the paths are not the same of the Ubuntu installation; so if I try to install 
from Synaptic, the animal complains saying that it will also install TeX, 
which will mess up all the TeXLive paths (already tried, a whole evening lost 
uninstalling and in stalling again TeX). Also the debian installer tries to 
do the same.
Questions:
(1) is compilation on Ubuntu difficult? I thinks that compiling and installing 
manually should avoid the problem I mentioned;
(2) if (1) is not practical, can anyone suggest all the symlink that I should 
set up to persuade Synaptic that I have already a TeX system running?

Many thanks,
guido milanese, italy
