Comment 1 delta407 2003-01-10 22:44:05 UTC 
(??? The form submitted without me clicking. Strange.) 
 
Anyway, according to lyx.org: 
 
"There is a very nasty bug in LyX 1.2.2 configure script: if you 
configure as root and an error occurs during the configure step 
(e.g. xforms not found), the the script will delete the /dev/null 
device. This undoubtly leads to very bad effect, since /dev/null is a 
very basic device in any unix system." 
 
There is an ebuild for LyX 1.2.3 -- I suggest either masking 1.2.2 or marking 
1.2.3 as stable.

lyx-1.2.3 is now the default, so this issue is resolved. Closing.
