Hi everyone, In order to facilitate testing and debugging, I've started creating a new set of LyX RPMs from the CVS. In ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/devel you will find: The usual LyX RPM packages: lyx-1.1.5cvs-1.i386.rpm tetex-lyx-1.1.5cvs-1.i386.rpm lyx-1.1.5cvs-1.src.rpm These contain the LyX optimized executable and all supporting files. In addition, there is now: lyxgdb-1.1.5cvs-1.i386.rpm lyxgdb-1.1.5cvs-1.src.rpm These contain *only* lyxgdb, a debugging version of the lyx executable. This debugging executable depends on the already installed lyx package, using all the same support files. What this basically means: 1) As usual, you install lyx-1.1.5cvs and tetex-lyx-1.1.5cvs packages. 2) As you run lyx, you find a crashing bug. 3) Install the lyxgdb-1.1.5cvs package. 4) Repeat the the crash (running "lyxgdb" instead of "lyx") 5) Run gdb on lyxgdb and the resulting core. 6) Use the "where" command and send a very informative backtrace back to the lyx-devel list.
