Some questions
I have a couple of problems and would appreciate if someone could
help me out.
When I run my linux (Red Hat 5.2) at runlevel 5, i. e. automatically
start up X windows, and then try to start LyX, I get an error
message:
can't resolve symbol '__argz_strinify'
and LyX won't start. Why does this happen?
When I use some of the AMS document classes, I get the words Theorem,
Corollary and so on, spelled in english, despite that I have selected
another
language as standard, and have included a \usepackage{swedish}
(swedish
is the language I'm after here :). This package does only change the
name
of the proof environment and some other things.
Is it possible to get the correct names in LyX in a "nice" way, or do
I
have to include all the \newtheorem stuff in the preamble?
By the way, does anyone have any nice templates for writing
mathematical text,
reports, theses etc?

Yes, I used the package file lyx-0_12_0-linux-elf-x86-libc5-bin_tar.gz, found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/0.12.0/. I don't know what libc version that package uses, how do I check that? Anyway, I'm going to upgrade to the new LyX version, so possibly thing will change. /Alex -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

In the directory where the executable lives, type "ldd lyx". That will show you all the shared libraries for the program. Thanks.

I don't know if this is SuSE- specific. +- Michael Behrens --++ | eMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]| +++ -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

Yes, you should grab an rpm version from: ftp://wierdlmpc.msci.memphis.edu/pub/ JMarc -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

I have now upgraded to LyX 1.0.0, and this is what I get when I issue the command ldd lyx: libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40003000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x4000b000) libc.so.5 => not found libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4002) libg++.so.27 => not found libstdc++.so.27 => not found libm.so.5 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400b7000) /lib/ld-linux.so.1 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x) I seem to be using libc 6, or something. I read that this was not the native version for my binary package, but can my problem be resolved whitout changing the whole installation of LyX? /Alex -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

I solved a similar problem by making a symbolic link that says libc.so.5 -> libc.so.6, although I don't know how this lib5 thingy appeared since I recompiled LyX from source. It may have come from xforms, which I had downloaded in binary form. I guess that making symbolic links to libraries with higher version number should not do harm, so try it if you need to. btw, is anyone from LyX team interested in adding support for the Serbian language? I worked on that on my own, adding Serbian language to babel, and modified LyX source a bit to allow for serbian language and keyboard layout to appear in the appropriate menus. I'd appreciate if someone advised me with this so that we would have Serbian LyX in a short while. btw, anyone have an idea of how to contact teTeX maintainters and send support for Serbian language? There already is support for similar languages so I guess it should not be a problem.

I created a symbolic link between libc.so.5 and libc.so.6, but my problem remained. How did you solve that initlever 5-problem? /Alex -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

How did you solve that initlever 5-problem? # ln -s libc.so.6 libc.so.5# or was it other way round? I keep forgetting. # ldconfig -v | less # to check if everything went OK, and it did with me. reboot would also help since ldconfig is done at startup, but that would be too much like M$, wouldn't it? :) # lyx As for initlevel, I had no trouble, as well as no idea why would such a thing happen. Say, if the substituted libc 6 works as libc 5, should the problem not disappear? I am not sure, of course, just taking a best guess. -- Filip Miletic - Linux Users Group of Yugoslavia (LUGY) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://galeb.etf.bg.ac.yu/~filmil LUGY http://www.linux.org.yu mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

I strongly suspect that all this libc5/6 stuff is a symptom of some other configuration problem. I am using RedHat Linux 5.2 with both libc5 and libc6/glibc installed and all the 1.0.0-preX versions compiled and worked fine for me. When version 1.0.0 came out I installed the RPMs (it was nice not to have to compile for once!) and this too worked fine. I very much doubt that the initlevel has anything to do with it; it's probably just a symptom. If you're using RedHat or a compatible system with glibc installed, try using the RPMs. -- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rrt1001/ | maxim, n. wisdom for fools -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

It can do *much* harm, since libc5 and libc6 are completely different beasts. The right thing to do is to upgrade to a good xforms-for-libc6 rpm. I think there is one in the contrib directory of redhat ftp site, but I am not sure... Filip> btw, is anyone from LyX team interested in adding support for Filip> the Serbian language?

There already is support for Filip> similar languages so I guess it should not be a problem. I think you should feed your changes to the babel maintainers. This is the proper way of adding support. Then of course, we can add Serbian to LyX list of languages.
