Installation Problem with LyX 1.3.4 on Solaris9

[Volker Knierim]

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro*
Hello,
I am new to this list so I don't know if this is the right way to post 
something, but I'll try anyway.

I have a problem with installing LyX 1.3.4 on a Sun ULTRA Sparc running 
Solaris 2.9. I downloaded the xforms library (V. 1.0.90) and compiled it 
on the same machine without problems. Then I tried to install LyX. The 
configure task created a makefile and reported no errors. The I used 
gmake  and after a while the process stopped with the folowing error:

Hi, Volker

The problem is that this link step is not including the libflimage.so
shared object that bundles the image part of the XForms library. I guess
that the problem is the fault of the configure script.

If you look in config.log, which details which tests passed and which tests
failed, you'll find tests entitled:

configure:12330: checking for library containing flimage_dup

(The line numbers will probably be different)

There is more than one such test, as the configure script searches for the
library containing the function. Here, this test fails

configure:12361: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -isystem /usr/X11R6/include
conftest.c -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm  -lSM -lICE -lc -lm 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  5

printing out the failing program, but this test succeeds

configure:12406: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -isystem /usr/X11R6/include
conftest.c -lflimage  -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm  -lSM -lICE -lc -lm
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11   5
configure:12409: $? = 0
configure:12412: test -s conftest
configure:12415: $? = 0
configure:12429: result: -lflimage

because flimage_dup is to be found in libflimage.so for XForms versions
greater than or equal to 1.0.

So, does this file exist in ${PREFIX}/lib, where PREFIX=/usr/local etc? I
suspect that you'll find libflimage.so.1.0.0 and will have to make a sym
link
ln -s libflimage.so.1.0.0 libflimage.so

This is a problem that has been fixed in the cvs version of the XForms
library.

Angus

Line breaks in a subfigure caption?

[Angus Leeming]

How do I write a subfigure caption so that it appears

(a) The initial, random network
$N_{\text{terminal}}=138$, $\bar{\ell}}=13.3$

Ie, I want a line break after 'network' so that the formulae appear on
their own line.

I've tried '\\' but that gives latex errors.

Currently I get monstosities like:

(a) The initial, random network $N_{\text{terminal}}=138$
, $\bar{\ell}}=13.3$

TIA,

I have one further question for you. 

Why
$N_{\mbox{terminal}}=138$
as opposed to
$N_{\text{terminal}}=138$
or
$N_{\textnormal{terminal}}=138$
? I can see that \textnormal and \text produce (to my eyes) identical
output which is slightly smaller than that produced with \mbox. Are there
any rules to guide this choice or is it simply a preference?

Why

Then I do not need amsmath, that's all ... but makes only
sense on the baseline, not as super/sunscript, see example.

it is the same as \mbox, but uses the right font size

That example is worth more than a 1000 words. Thank you.

So \text was right in this case, which is good 'cos I'd have had to write a
sed script otherwise ;-)

configure:12330: checking for library containing flimage_dup

(The line numbers will probably be different)

There is more than one such test, as the configure script searches for the
library containing the function. Here, this test fails

configure:12361: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -isystem /usr/X11R6/include
conftest.c -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm  -lSM -lICE -lc -lm 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  5

printing out the failing program, but this test succeeds

configure:12406: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -isystem /usr/X11R6/include
conftest.c -lflimage  -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm  -lSM -lICE -lc -lm
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11   5
configure:12409: $? = 0
configure:12412: test -s conftest
configure:12415: $? = 0
configure:12429: result: -lflimage

because flimage_dup is to be found in libflimage.so for XForms versions
greater than or equal to 1.0.

So, does this file exist in ${PREFIX}/lib, where PREFIX=/usr/local etc? I
suspect that you'll find libflimage.so.1.0.0 and will have to make a sym
link
ln -s libflimage.so.1.0.0 libflimage.so

This is a problem that has been fixed in the cvs version of the XForms
library.

Line breaks in a subfigure caption?

[Angus Leeming]

How do I write a subfigure caption so that it appears

(a) The initial, random network
$N_{\text{terminal}}=138$, $\bar{\ell}}=13.3$

Ie, I want a line break after 'network' so that the formulae appear on
their own line.

I've tried '\\' but that gives latex errors.

Currently I get monstosities like:

(a) The initial, random network $N_{\text{terminal}}=138$
, $\bar{\ell}}=13.3$

TIA,

I have one further question for you. 

Why
$N_{\mbox{terminal}}=138$
as opposed to
$N_{\text{terminal}}=138$

$N_{\textnormal{terminal}}=138$
? I can see that \textnormal and \text produce (to my eyes) identical

any rules to guide this choice or is it simply a preference?

That example is worth more than a 1000 words. Thank you.

So \text was right in this case, which is good 'cos I'd have had to write a

Installation Problem with LyX 1.3.4 on Solaris9

[Volker Knierim]

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro*
Hello,
I am new to this list so I don't know if this is the right way to post 
something, but I'll try anyway.

I have a problem with installing LyX 1.3.4 on a Sun ULTRA Sparc running 
Solaris 2.9. I downloaded the xforms library (V. 1.0.90) and compiled it 
on the same machine without problems. Then I tried to install LyX. The 
configure task created a makefile and reported no errors. The I used 
gmake  and after a while the process stopped with the folowing error:

Hi, Volker

The problem is that this link step is not including the libflimage.so
shared object that bundles the image part of the XForms library. I guess
that the problem is the fault of the configure script.

If you look in config.log, which details which tests passed and which tests
failed, you'll find tests entitled:

configure:12330: checking for library containing flimage_dup

(The line numbers will probably be different)

There is more than one such test, as the configure script searches for the
library containing the function. Here, this test fails

configure:12361: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -isystem /usr/X11R6/include
conftest.c -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm  -lSM -lICE -lc -lm 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  >&5

printing out the failing program, but this test succeeds

configure:12406: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -isystem /usr/X11R6/include
conftest.c -lflimage  -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm  -lSM -lICE -lc -lm
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11  > &5
configure:12409: $? = 0
configure:12412: test -s conftest
configure:12415: $? = 0
configure:12429: result: -lflimage

because flimage_dup is to be found in libflimage.so for XForms versions
greater than or equal to 1.0.

So, does this file exist in ${PREFIX}/lib, where PREFIX=/usr/local etc? I
suspect that you'll find libflimage.so.1.0.0 and will have to make a sym
link
ln -s libflimage.so.1.0.0 libflimage.so

This is a problem that has been fixed in the cvs version of the XForms
library.

Angus
