thx for your quick tipps on the list ! :-)
well first of all: I was logged in as "normal user" by doing the
following commands.
1. When I typed "ldconfig -p | grep forms" my system told me:
==> bash: ldconfig: command not found
2. "which lyx" brought the following:
/usr/X11R6/bin/lyx
3. ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/lyx ==> I got:
libforms.so.0.89 => not found
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40019000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40027000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40031000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40049000)
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
(0x40119000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40162000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4017f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
4. rpm -q -a | grep xforms
==> no output on the console at all (??) :-(
so I guess I don't even have some xforms installed (but shouldn't Yast
install automatically all things necessary for running lyx ??); at
least the necessary xforms-library should be somewhere on the CD's ...
but WHERE ? I'll try to find it out.
so, what do you think are the next steps to do ?
thx in advance for your advice, yours - Richard
