SOLVED > lyx not a readable Lyx document

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

As described behind the #########

I followed JMarcs adviced:

If you still have the directory where you built LyX, then
 >>    gitpull >(should be git pull)

I think I forgot to merge after git pull

I guess it is the easiest to get the dev version anew

By the way, when will the 2.4 version be available?

Wolfgang
