But the the original problem was that in xforms.88-2 there is an _xstat which is undefined. You system craps out at that point. I installed xforms.88.1-5 and that worked. I explained that in a separate message. In this version of xforms it is the module __xstat (2 underlines) which turns out to be ok. Then I had to bring over a forms.h which normally comes from I don't know where. Then came the installation problem where I could not import LaTex documents because of an incorrect prefix NONE on the share/lyx directory. This had to be fixed by running ./configure --datadir=/usr/local These are problems that need to be explained to your installers. I am installing by the way in a RH 6.0 system. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- End of forwarded message -------
