Hi folks,

I am running Debian(potato) on an Alpha, quite 
smoothly but recently I tried to compile LyX 
1.1.6fix1.

All goes well and it gets compiled, but when I try
to run it, it dies immediately:

src/> ./lyx
Illegal instruction

I suppose that some library is wrongly installed, 
and I tried all xforms libraries I could get, 
namely

  bxform-088-glibc.tgz
  bxform-088.tgz
  bxform-089-glibc2.1.tgz

I installed each of them, ran ldconfig and tried 
starting LyX again. It died each and every time...

Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong 
here, or how to track this? Trying to debug with
gdb gave me this cryptic message:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /root/lyx-1.1.6fix1/src/./lyx 
[New Thread 1024 (runnable)]

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
[Switching to Thread 1024 (runnable)]
0x20000e1146c in main_arena () from /lib/libc.so.6.1

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

joao oliveira
