Hi,

I'm currently trying to get Lyx running on Red Hat 6.1 but i'm having
some problems with getting configure to recognise libforms.a

I've got version 0.88 of the xforms library and it's installed in
/usr/programs/lib 

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       572220 Mar 20 17:18 libforms.a

the header forms.h is in /usr/programs/include

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       100334 Mar 20 17:18 forms.h

I'm running configure with the line

./configure --prefix=/usr/programs --with-extra-lib=/usr/programs/lib
--with-extra-inc=/usr/programs/include

and getting the error message

Configuration:
