You should probably upgrade to xforms 0.88, but this is not your
problem here.

As the message says: did you install properly the X window development
package? You need in particular all the header files for X11.

If you did, please send me the file config.log. It should contain
hints on what went wrong.

I sent this message already to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but think now this was not the appropriate address
so I resend it 





Hello 

I have so far installed successfully lyx 0.12pre2
and wanted to install ley-1.0.pre1. However I could not.

Here are the details: I have install a Linux (Suse 4.4) Version, that
is basically a modified slackware distribution with a 2.025 kernel and
the 0.81 Xforms. The modification with respect to the slackware
distribution concerns the location of the Xforms files, basically they 
are in /usr/X11R6/

In concrete 

The file 
forms.h
is 
/usr/X11R6/include
or (link)
/usr/X11R6/include/X11

The files
libforms.so.0.81
libforms.a
are in
/usr/X11R6/lib
instead of 
/usr/lib



First I tried:
./configure  --with-extra-lib=/usr/X11R6/lib  --with-extra-inc=/usr/X11R6/include/X11
then 
./configure  --with-extra-lib=/usr/X11R6/lib  
--with-extra-inc=/usr/X11R6/include/X11:/usr/X11R6/include

then
./configure  --with-extra-prefix=/usr/X11R6

Then I set symbolic links of the files mentioned above to the relevant places

However all the time I got the following message:

  The following problems have been detected by configure. 
 Please check the messages below before running 'make'.
 (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file)

** Cannot find X window libraries and/or headers. Check your installation. 
   If you use a Linux system, check that you have installed 
   the development tools.


I am puzzled, it is said that the 0.81 Version still is fine, but it
seems that configure does not recognize  them (I did not dare to
compile lyx, it seemed pointless)

Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance
