I'm a Linux newbie, trying w/a great deal of frustration to install LyX 1.3.1. I'm using the Xforms front end, have already installed Xforms 1.0 and Xpm. My LyX configure went OK according to the messages. The C compiler (this is on a SuSE 8.1 distro) is gcc 3.2. When I went to install, things began OK but bombed out with the error messages excerpted below.
Is there anything I can do to fix this and get a working install? The compiler message asks me to mail in a bug report, but I don't want to make this a lifetime project. All I'm trying to do is see if I would like LyX as an alternative to Microsoft Word on MS Windows. ---- (compiler excerpt below) ---- make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/my_stuff/lyx_related/lyx-1.3.1/boost/libs/regex/src' source='cpp_regex_traits.cpp' object='cpp_regex_traits.lo' libtool=yes \ depfile='.deps/cpp_regex_traits.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/cpp_regex_traits.TPlo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../../../../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../../../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c -o cpp_regex_traits.lo `test -f 'cpp_regex_traits.cpp' || echo './'`cpp_regex_traits.cpp g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c cpp_regex_traits.cpp -MT cpp_regex_traits.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/cpp_regex_traits.TPlo echo timestamp > cpp_regex_traits.lo source='c_regex_traits_common.cpp' object='c_regex_traits_common.lo' libtool=yes \ depfile='.deps/c_regex_traits_common.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/c_regex_traits_common.TPlo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../../../../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../../../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c -o c_regex_traits_common.lo `test -f 'c_regex_traits_common.cpp' || echo './'`c_regex_traits_common.cpp g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c c_regex_traits_common.cpp -MT c_regex_traits_common.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/c_regex_traits_common.TPlo echo timestamp > c_regex_traits_common.lo source='c_regex_traits.cpp' object='c_regex_traits.lo' libtool=yes \ depfile='.deps/c_regex_traits.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/c_regex_traits.TPlo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../../../../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../../../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c -o c_regex_traits.lo `test -f 'c_regex_traits.cpp' || echo './'`c_regex_traits.cpp g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c c_regex_traits.cpp -MT c_regex_traits.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/c_regex_traits.TPlo echo timestamp > c_regex_traits.lo source='cregex.cpp' object='cregex.lo' libtool=yes \ depfile='.deps/cregex.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/cregex.TPlo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../../../../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../../../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c -o cregex.lo `test -f 'cregex.cpp' || echo './'`cregex.cpp g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../boost -isystem /usr/X11R6/include -O -fno-exceptions -W -Wall -c cregex.cpp -MT cregex.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/cregex.TPlo ../../../../boost/boost/regex/detail/regex_match.hpp: In member function `unsigned int boost::RegEx::GrepFiles(bool (*)(const char*, const boost::RegEx&), const char*, bool, unsigned int)': ../../../../boost/boost/regex/detail/regex_match.hpp:1904: Internal compiler error in expand_call, at calls.c:3049 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
