I have been using lyx 1.0.1/1.0.4 for more than one year. Recently, I had many problems with installation.
I am not sure if I can work with 1.1.6 without any problem. If not, I'd better install 1.0.1 or 1.0.4.
Before I was working on Digital Unix. Now I changed to Sun Solaris, probably ver 2.7. Since I am not familiar with UNIX, I have no idea to install lyx on it. I tried many times according to the INSTALL file, but failed.
Some useful info/processes are attached below.

It stops then.
It seems there are some problem with the compiler. Is it right? How to solve it?
Thank you in advance,
