There is something wrong with the way your system has been installed
so lyx cannot find the shared library for xforms which it needs.
There are many different possible reasons for this, and if you
are not familiar with hunting for errors of this kind it could
take a bit of explaining. I suggest you try out the following
things and then mail me directly with the results, so we don't
waste too much bandwith on the list.
Try the following things:
type:
ldconfig -p | grep forms
and mail me what you get.
Try to find the lyx executable:
which lyx
(on my Mandrake system it is /usr/bin/lyx).
Then type
ldd /usr/bin/lyx
(use the appropriate path name) and mail me the result.
You could also try to see if the xforms has been installed at all:
rpm -q -a | grep xforms
Again, mail me the results.
Then we shall see.
