Hello guys,

I'm trying to create a Main Menu shortcut to Lyx, but I'm not being able to do it. I know it must seems like a silly question, but I don't know how to do it! I've been searching, but I haven't found the solution.

I'm using Linux Mint 10 (Julia), which is based on Ubuntu Maverick. This distro came with Lyx, but it wasn't the latest version (2.0), so I installed the newest version from the source cod. It works fine, but I have to start it from the terminal. Not big deal, but I'd prefer to have it in the Main Menu.

So, I tried to create the shortcut, but I cannot find the right file to point to. Lyx folder is located in /usr/local/shared and there's also a folder ~/lyx. Which file do I need to use to create the shortcut? Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

Other details:
Linux 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu i686 GNU/Linux

Open a terminal and type in this command: sudo which lyx. That should return the path to the lyx executable file.

Thanks @bigrigdriver!! That's what I needed to know!! It works!! Thanks!!
