Hi, all,
I just installed lyx-1.1.5fix2-1.i386.rpm and xforms-0.88-15.i386.rpm on
my RedHat 7.0 system; the former from the LyX FTP site and the latter
from the RedHat 7.0 Powertools CD. Now, I've seen a lot of complaints on
this list about this combination, but it seems to work here with RedHat's
latest gcc and glibc versions (gcc-2.96-69 and glibc-2.2-5). With one
exception: I'm not seeing Greek letters displayed in the LyX window,
though they are of course in the LaTeX source I'm importing.
In hopes of fixing the problem, I tried installing xforms-0.89 according
to the instructions in Wai-Sun Chia's message of January 2 (archived at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08330.html), but
rpm complained that it couldn't find the file forms_sngl.ps.gz which the
SPEC file in that message lists as needed. The only place I can find this
file is inside the RedHat distribution of the xforms-devel-0.88 RPM, and I
wouldn't be sure it was the correct version. The file doesn't seem to be
directly downloadable from the XForms Web site mirror(s).
Any ideas? I'm running the KDE 1.1 desktop if that matters.
