libforms (see also Help! from Wahyu Nugroho)
Hi there,
the problem of Wahyu Nugroho is even worse with Mandrake. After eventually
finding a LyX rpm for Mandrake, the installation needed xforms, but
Mandrake provides no xforms. Therefore I installed one from SuSE. After
installing LyX, starting LyX complained about not finding libforms.0.89
although it was on the system. So I tried Murilo Juchem's hint (Re: need
quick help). But that didn't help either, because libforms.0.89 was not in
.../X11/... but in .../X11R6/... . Eventually I got LyX started. This all
shows, that LyX itself should find libforms.0.8x.
