xforms 0.89 (was: Re: 1.1.6pre3 & RH7 compile problem)
Allan is correct.
Stay the hell away from the xform RPM in RH's powertools directory.
Compiling Lyx against that (xform-0.88-15) will bomb! Refer to my
previous email.
What I did was to build my own RPM for 0.89. Here is the .spec file for
your enjoyment...
For the RH newbies:
1. Copy xforms.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
2. Download
ftp://ncmir.ucsd.edu/pub/xforms/linux-i386/elf/bxform-089-glibc2.1.tgz
and copy it to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS; rpm -ba xforms.spec
Off you go! You should get 3 RPMS in the end. Runtime, Demo, and Devel.

%description
XForms features a rich set of objects (like buttons, sliders,
and menus) integrated into an easy and efficient object/event callback
execution model, allowing for fast and easy construction of X applications.
The library is extensible--new objects can easily be created and added.
If you're installing xforms, you may want to also install xforms-devel,
which is a near-WYSIWYG GUI builder which works with XForms.
%package demos
Group: Development/Libraries
Summary: XForms demonstration programs.
%description demos
Xforms-demos includes the full source code to 50+ demonstration
programs. If you plan on using XForms and you aren't an expert, you should
download xforms-demos and take a look at them.
%package devel

Summary: An XForms GUI builder.
%description devel
Xforms-devel is a near-WYSIWYG GUI builder that can be used to
design your UI and write the corresponding C code for you. If you're
installing xforms, you may want to also install xforms-devel. If you want
to install xforms-devel, you must also install xforms.

Lars, has this been solved recently? Almost anytime LyX dumps core at startup the problem has turned out to be that you have mismatched glibc and xforms libraries. RH do a good job of getting the xforms library versions wrong on their powertools cd. I'd recommend you go to ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ and see what Kyvan has there or better yet go for the xforms ftp site at: ftp://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/ which appears to be down at the moment or goto ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/XFORMS/ and get the xforms-glibc2.1 tarball for linux. RH always seems to keep the xforms-glibc tarball instead which is incorrect. One way to help ensure xforms has a bad name isn't it: bundling the wrong library with your distro. Of course this could be some other problem but without a backtrace I can't do more than guess. > BTW: Are the lyx lists archived somewhere?

Is there a masterthesis style for Lyx ?
Hi all there, I am quite new to LyX (using LyX 1.1.5 under SuSE Linux). I am just writing my master thesis using the "article" document style. But is it the right style for my purpose ? I found the files thesis.cls and thesis.sty somewhere in the Internet, but I couldnt get them to work. I did a copy of report.layout, renamed it to thesis.layout and replaced all "report" occurrencies with "thesis". But nothing happend. Anybody knows which style to use preferable for master thesis and how to activate it ? Please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], because I am not on the mailing list at the moment. Thanks a lot for your help, ROLF -- * Rolf-Armin Puin * * [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * http://www.puin.de http://www.el-clan.de * Die kürzeste Formel um etwas zu erreichen: Tu es!

For those of us who are not skilled at installing gcc, could you tell us the easiest way to install 2.95, without running into unforeseen problems with libraries, paths, etc? Should we download an RPM?

When my locales are set to German, all pre-releases of LyX - including this one - give me a weird mix of German and English UI messages. While all dialogs are in German - which the exception of tab titles in tabbed dialogues and -->Layout-->Tabular-->LongTable -, the pull-down menus are in English. Btw, is it possible to access tabbed dialogues with keyboard shortcuts? (I must confessed that I am not too happy with tabbed dialogues in general...)

Re: "lyxdiff"
There is a changebar package for latex. I made it working with lyx files (by converting the to latex) and cvs. They are in a pretty prototyping stage and I didn't use them heavily so far, but were working for the examples I tried. It just marks the positions were changes were made at the border. If you want them, please let me know. Rainer.

"lyxdiff"
Hi I've been looking for a tool that compares two .lyx-files and marks the places where they differ. Searching the net, I found a small script called "texdiff". There was no manual or anything, but I got it working. It is used as follows:>texdiff new_version old_version and produces a new file: new_version.diff.tex that you can compile and look at. The differences have been marked according to different styles (bold text, with margin arrows, or withing thick brackets). This works, but first you have to convert both versions of you .lyx-files to .tex-files. This might be possible to do directly with a .lyx-file. Unfortunately, 'texdiff' uses a program called 'sed', and I don't know enough about it or the .lyx-format to make it work with a .lyx-file. If there is anybody out there that has the time and sed-skill to convert "texdiff" into "lyxdiff", I've attached the "texdiff"-files (that I found at: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/PUB/italiano/texdiff/ ) Christian Ridderström PS. I saw something in the announcement about the Lyx file-format being changed, so maybe this should wait. Maybe it is just bad practice to let other programs/scripts mess with the .lyx-file?
