Hi,
when running the configure script of lyx-1.1.5fix2 on Redhat 7, I
encounter the following message
** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms
library
is correctly installed on your system.
This was despite of the fact that I have used the option
--with-extra-prefix=/usr/local, since the libraries are in
/usr/local/lib, while the forms.h file is in /usr/local/include. The
script did find forms.h, but did not see the libraries in
/usr/local/lib. These files were placed there by `make install' of the
bxform-088.tar.gz distribution I took from
ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/linux/elf (should I use the other one,
bxforms-088-glibc.tgz, maybe?). After copying manually the libraries
into the
/usr/lib directory, the script still was not able to locate the
libraries.
I had this problem before with Slackware 7.1, but there the problem
disappaered after copying the libraries to the /usr/lib directory.
Ideas?
Thanks!
