The X code may be creating sockets itself. However, the first thing to
check is that you have upgraded you xforms library to a version
compiled against glibc 2.1.

socket problem in Gnome Redhat 6.1

[robin . c . smith]

I have been using lyx for a long time under KDE/Redhat 5.2 with no problems.

I have recently upgraded to Redhat 6.1 ( a decision that has cost me a lot
of time ).

My Lyx no longer works but just core dumps with a segmentation violation.
I ran strace on lyx and found it seems to fail writing to a socket created
in /tmp

Any quick workarounds? What is this socket doing? I cannot find a refence to
sockets in the Lyx source code.

Thanks in advance

Robin
