Hello, You have to make sure that the xforms rpm that you use is for libc6 (aka glibc). The version which is commonly found on redhat contrib sites is *not* correct. You should see when doing `ldd lyx' that both libc5 and libc6 are used. You will find a correct version at ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/. Note that while the name and version of the file are the same as the redhat one, they are different things. It is confusing, but we have to cope with it... Hope this helps. JMarc
