Troubles installing LyX on Linux
I'm trying to install LyX (1.0.3) on my Linux laptop... It is not so easy! First of all I use RedHat 6.0 distribution. When I did ./configure it prompts me these mistakes : Can't find libXforms etc... Can't find xpm.h etc... Can't find libforms or libxforms etc... Can't find forms.h etc... So, no way for compiling! I read the INSTALL file and 'Problems" paragraph, but I couldn't solve my problem. I didn't find those files in my directoris. Shall I install some other RPM ? Someone can help me ? I need VERY EASY instructions, because I'm a Linux beginner (and LyX pre-beginner ;-D ). Thanks in advance Emanuele

You can get them at the following sites: Xforms: http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms libXpm: http://metalab.unc.edu/ see also the LyX home page (www.lyx.org) for details. You need the version 0.88 of Xforms (I tried with version 0.89 but it didn't work) and libXpm-4.7 (it worked fine for me... I have RedHat 6.0 too). Follow carefully the (easy) instructions in the readme files and you should not have any problem. Here is a quick installation guide: Xpm: you may untar in /usr/local then from inside the directory: xmkmf -a make make install make install.man Xforms: I 'untarred' them in /usr/src make install Then compile Lyx and enjoy it!

Re: Troubles installing LyX on Linux
Hi Emanuele, you need the libraries 'XForms' and 'libXpm'. Look at http://www.lyx.org/getit.html (Required stuff) On my Debian slink system I installed the packages 'libforms-bin', 'libforms-dev' and 'xpm4g-dev. Look for packages with similar names on your RedHat and install these.
