Re: LyX-1.3.0 and Red Hat 7.3 notes

[Owen Lucas]

Hi I like the look and feel of xforms so are trying to install the new xforms 1.0. Try as I might I have been unable to get this to install the way lyx wants it. I first tryed building it from xforms-1.0-release.tgz
This seemed to work fine but lyx didnt like it for some reason??
I followed your exelent instructions on getting this to install word for word and all went ok up to the command

rpm -bb xforms.spec

when it replyed

any idea whats going on?
Is there some remnant of xforms-1.0-release.tgz stuffing this process up?
