libc5 problem in Redhat 6.0 continued...
I am still struggling with my libc problem. I have solved it temporarily by creating a symbolic link in my /lib directory to my libc-2.1.* library named libc.so.5. However, someone wrote that it was not a good idea to do so. I do have the libc5 libraries in a directory placed in the /usr directory. It is the standard Redhat 6.0 setup. Without my symbolic link, when I try to run LyX, I get an "error opening shared libraries" message which states that there is no such file or directory concerning libc.so.5. If I try to place a symbolic link in the /lib directory which points to the libc5 file in the /usr/*-linux-libc5 directory, I get a segmentation fault. I've been pondering the man pages for ld and ldconfig, thinking that my problem might be solved by one of those two programs, but I have not discovered anything that might be of help. (I know just enough about computers to be running Linux). I have installed LyX by RPM and by compiling the source myself, but the error ! ! is always the same. If anyone else has run across this problem, or knows a solution to it, please let me know. Other than that, LyX is running great. Thanks, Paul

Re: Help! No footnotes!
Thanks, I finally figured out a simpler work around that works about half the time. Latex is trying to generate new font files and is having permission troubles. It just won't say permission denied or anything obvious like that. The thing to do is to take the lyx file and export it as latex. You run it through latex, manually AS ROOT! Then latex is free to make as many little meta font whatever files as it wants to. After that you can work with lyx all you want as a regular user and all the fonts are already there. It is a latex problem. I haven't tried a complete erase and install of tetex and latex yet. Maybe it will make it so all the document classes work? (Latex is choking on some of them on my system; even as root.) At least article works. That's the one I use. Article (AMS) doesn't. Latex croaks halfway through the document complaining about vboxes and overfilling something. Darrin
