No :-)
The pre-rh7 2.96 only existed in gcc CVS and LyX 1.1.5 is setup to use
that with the new emerging standard C++ lib: libstdc++-v3, this sould
be changed in 1.1.5fix2 so that 2.96 reflects the rh version a 2.97
could be added to adhere to the gcc cvs version.
Jean-Marc, basically what has to be done is to make the 2.96 cases in
1.1.5 be similar to the 2.96 cases in 1.1.6.
