I used the .tar.gz, un-tar-ed it, used ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/lyx-1.1.6fix1 and then make and make install to
build and install it. It runs very well.
Some possible pitfalls:
- you need the development version of the xforms lib package (extra
rpm within SuSE)
- You need valid Linux kernel headers (!) which are included within
the xforms test within configure. Having no proper includes in
/usr/src/linux will result in a complaint about a non-working xforms
lib.
