I lurk the list and thought I'd mention my experiences. 1) 1.3.1 compiled without problems on my Slack system, perhaps because I point out the misc libs it might need. (This is my way of saying that I think RPMs stink because you're semi-beholden to a script that might not be what you need. Try using the raw source; it might be what you need (it was back in my LinuxPPC days.)) And 2) Who cares how long it takes to compile? Why turn off any optimizations? You compile once. You use it many times; _that's_ where the benefits are. Finally, here's my config string for raw source on Slackware. God knows Slack's different from RH, so it might not work, but enjoy my largesse ;) configure --with-extra-lib=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib --with-extra-inc=/usr/include:/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include This is all given in the sourcecode tarball the lyx people have been kind enough to prepare. You may enjoy their largesse too... rl
