Hallo everybody,

beg your pardon for 2 beginner questions.
Now that I went from my stable SuSE-7.3, Lyx-1.6.1 to SuSE-8.1
I'm encountering many problems - here are 2 Lyx questions.

1. SuSE-8.1 comes with Lyx-1.2.0 - and Lyx installs and runs.
Next I installed (rpm --upgrade) from the lyx-server:
Lyx-1.2.1-1rh8-xforms089.i386.rpm .

^^^

Then I got the following ' failed dependencies':
  tetex-xdvi, tetex-latex,

You should know that SuSE 8.1 doesn't install anything TeX-related even when
you choose all software-packets during the installation. That means that you should
install

- pdf_te
- psutils
- dvitools

with yast2. Than there shouldn't be any problems installing a lyx-binary compiled
for SuSE. If you want to compile lyx you have to install the package xformsd.

Let me know if you need any additional help.

Michael

perl(Cwd), perl(File::Basename), perl (FileHandle),
perl(lib), perl (strict), perl(vars).
So what to do?

find a lyx-1.2.1 built for suse,
the rh8 indicates a RedHat package?

build it yourself
