No :-) The pre-rh7 2.96 only existed in gcc CVS and LyX 1.1.5 is setup to use that with the new emerging standard C++ lib: libstdc++-v3, this sould be changed in 1.1.5fix2 so that 2.96 reflects the rh version a 2.97 could be added to adhere to the gcc cvs version.

As noted in this list last week, RH7 is distributed with a bogus compiler, gcc-2.96. Lyx does not compile, there are all kinds of errors pointing back to the standard template library of c++. I've filed a bug report at RedHat, and expect they may fix it. If you are stuck with RH7, what do you do? From what I heard there are older compilers as well on RedHat 7.0. So maybe you should simply try to install another one? 2. Remove gcc-2.96 and retrofit gcc-2.95.2? Probably the best option. Andre' -- Andre' Poenitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
