Re: lyx installation help
Am 21.06.2016 um 21:02 schrieb J. Daniel Kim: I found an older thread and I seem to be having the same issue. I was able to install and Lyx just fine on my old PC. Now with a new PC that uses Windows 7 64-bit, I can't get Lyx to work - doesn't seem to recognize the MikTe. http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8268#comment:6 Any idea on what I can do? Thanks so much. Hi Daniel, what exactly is your problem? What is the error message? Is this with LyX 2.2.0? I heard about problems with people who installed the 64it version of MiKTeX manually before installing LyX but i could never reproduce this problem. However, these people told me that it works fine when they uninstall MiKTeX and then use the bundle installer of LyX 2.2.0. This installer version installs MiKTeX for you. regards Uwe

Re: installation help
Dear David, Had the same problems installing Lyx 1.1.6 to Debian 2.2. Here is the hack that led to "successful" (but not debianized) install: download SuSe 6.4 version of xpm as root use mc to see the .tar.gz xpm.rpm file use mc to COPY the libraries into their destination directories, which you see with mc. Now make install will work with LyX 1.1.6. BUT it's an ugly hack in as far as the .deb version of 1.1.4 installs LyX to other directories. LyX 1.1.6 did not solve my problem which I already posted.

Re: installation help
Yes, I needed that and it got me past the configure step but now during 'make' I'm getting another error, something to do with 'Object' ??? Some of the text looks like this: In file included from formula.C:30: ../../src/minibuffer.h:17: using directive 'Object' introduced ambiguous type '_ObjectRec *' make[3]: *** [formula.lo] Error 1 etc etc I have no clue what this means. Any thoughts? David On Mon, 29 Jan 2001, Lior Silberman wrote: > I seem to remember that the 'forms.h' include file comes in the > xforms-devel package.
