Almost anytime LyX dumps core at startup the problem has turned out to be
that you have mismatched glibc and xforms libraries. RH do a good job of
getting the xforms library versions wrong on their powertools cd. I'd
recommend you go to ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ and see what Kyvan has
there or better yet go for the xforms ftp site at:
ftp://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/
which appears to be down at the moment or goto
ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/XFORMS/
and get the xforms-glibc2.1 tarball for linux. RH always seems to keep
the xforms-glibc tarball instead which is incorrect. One way to help
ensure xforms has a bad name isn't it: bundling the wrong library with
your distro.
Of course this could be some other problem but without a backtrace I can't
do more than guess.
