Yes. I'm using RH 7.1 with rpm packages.
It looks like I've got lyx-1.1.6fix2-1.i386.rpm (yes, I haven't
installed fix3 yet) and xforms-0.88-3.src.rpm. I can't recall where I
got the xforms rpm from, but <http://rpmfind.net> would be a good place
to start looking. If you've never used a source rpm before, it isn't
hard. Just
rpm -rebuild <rpm-file>.rpm
Then wait for it to do all the rebuilding, and somewhere in that list of
long messages, will be one near the end saying that it's built the
binary rpm file. Take that as your binary rpm file and install in the
usual way.
Happy LyXing!
