Dear Sir,
When I was trying to install lyx v1.1.6 ,I got some error messages.I have
installed xforms from
"xforms-0.88.1-5.i386.rpm" (#rpm -Uvh xforms-0.88.1-5.i386.rpm
package xforms-0.88.1-5 is installed)
rpm package and also installed "libXpm v4.7".
Error messages are shown below-
#./configure
=== The following minor problems have been detected by configure.
=== Please check the messages below before running 'make'.
=== (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file)
== LyX should work ok with version 0.89.5 of xforms, but
it is an unproven version and might still have some bugs. If you
have problems, please use version 0.88 instead.
Configuration of LyX was successful.
Type 'make' to compile the program,
and then 'make install' to install it.
#make
(some code)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [lyx] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pk-soft/lyx-1.1.6/src'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
