This looks like the problem. I am running RH6.0 (ie. glibc 2.1). If I
use "lyx -private", it does work on PseudoColor.
I haven't been very successful with getting the newer Xforms to work out.
I've tried both bxform-088-glibc2.1.tgz and ...99-glibc2..., as well as a
couple RPMs. Either lyx doesn't recompile or else, if it does compile, it
dumps core (even with --private).
