I had the same problem on IRIX 6.2 for lyx-1.0pre6 (I think). The
configure script couldn't find libXpm.a although it was there and I
specified --with-extra-inc/lib (It did find xpm.h though). Anyway,
the compile went well, so the linker could access libXpm.a after all.
So the script might be bit wrong.
I know SGI's bsdinst has a bug. It changes the owner of installed
files (sometimes?) to "root". Now if you bsdinst[all] libXpm.a
in a local directory with owner read acces only, you will have a
problem if you are not root. I don't thinks this is the problem,
but Harry could check this anyway.
The produced binary didn't work for me because rld failed to map
libforms.so.0.88. Probably my fault somehow. I have no time to
sort this out now, I decided to wait for the release of LyX 1.0.
Cheers, Theo
