This is my first post on this list, I hope I won't break any
rule... Also, please excuse my English, I'm not a native English speaker.
Every time I start lyx, it crashes after displaying the main
window and just before displaying the graphical logo. I've tried both
versions 0.12 and 1.1.5fix1, with the same result. The most annoying
problem is that both of them run fine on other machines. I really need it
working in order to write a paper in mathematics, so any hint is
welcome. Below follows the technical data:
Cyrix 486Dx2, 80 MHz
16 Mb Ram (the memory modules are ok, I've even changed them with
others an still no improvement)
ALi 1489 (1487?) chipset on the motherboard
standard RedHat 6.2
The ext2 and swap partition are ok, I've checked them.
No other program makes any problem, except for the installation of
RedHat which crashes 19 times out of 20. Their anaconda drives me mad. 6.0
install crashes with SIG9 somewhere before entering fdisk, while 6.1 and
6.2 installs crash with SIG11 somewhere between calculating the
dependencies between packages and actually installing them. Probably it's
a hardware problem, but I can't understand why, under these circumstances,
I managed to succesfully compile a kernel, which is said to be the best
hardware test.
Thank you in advance!
