Pavel,

Thanks for the response. For what it's worth, I did run 'sudo apt-get 
build-dep lyx' before installing and it did /not/ install the 
libxkbcommon-x11-dev library. (Is 'apt-get' rather than 'apt' a problem?)

After getting your message, I installed it and reran 'make' (which did 
not seem to find any work to do). I then ran 'make check', and 
apparently one test failed (tests/test_Length). Per the instructions in 
the terminal, I have attached the gzipped test-suite.log file. I ignored 
the failure and finished the installation anyway. LyX 2.5.2 seems to be 
working fine.

I appreciate the help (and all the work you devs do on LyX).

Paul
