Jean-Marc: I have composed a testing/install script for rpm's of xforms-0.88-2.i386.rpm lyx-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm The output is 194 lines long (991 with -ivv ) and that seems to be a bit much for the email group. I will attach or post it if requested. The point is that neithier package requires libc.so.5 but the installed lyx-1.0.1 ends up using it when "ldd" is run against it. I have attached the script and will be glad to mail the results or look further if asked. Otherwise, I guess I will have to reinstall the whole system to get lyx back(:(: I was supposed to have some homework in sometime soon. Sincerely, Raymond E. Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5251 Wayne Rd.
