I sent this message already to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but think now this was not the appropriate address so I resend it
Hello I have so far installed successfully lyx 0.12pre2 and wanted to install ley-1.0.pre1. However I could not. Here are the details: I have install a Linux (Suse 4.4) Version, that is basically a modified slackware distribution with a 2.025 kernel and the 0.81 Xforms. The modification with respect to the slackware distribution concerns the location of the Xforms files, basically they are in /usr/X11R6/ In concrete The file forms.h is /usr/X11R6/include or (link) /usr/X11R6/include/X11 The files libforms.so.0.81 libforms.a are in /usr/X11R6/lib instead of /usr/lib First I tried: ./configure --with-extra-lib=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-extra-inc=/usr/X11R6/include/X11 then ./configure --with-extra-lib=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-extra-inc=/usr/X11R6/include/X11:/usr/X11R6/include then ./configure --with-extra-prefix=/usr/X11R6 Then I set symbolic links of the files mentioned above to the relevant places However all the time I got the following message: **** The following problems have been detected by configure. **** Please check the messages below before running 'make'. **** (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file) ** Cannot find X window libraries and/or headers. Check your installation. If you use a Linux system, check that you have installed the development tools. I am puzzled, it is said that the 0.81 Version still is fine, but it seems that configure does not recognize them (I did not dare to compile lyx, it seemed pointless) Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance Uwe Brauer
