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. For further informations you can also look at the user mailing lists archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/ at Wed, 01 Sep 1999 Emanuele Olivetti wrote: > 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.

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!

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
