Thanks for the answer, guys.
The problems are:
I downloaded the rpms from Sylvan ftp but install was not accepted due to lack
of the Xforms.
I also downloaded the tar.gz, but was unable to install due my lack of
know-how, although I seemed
to follow the correct instructions (at least I think so).
Questions: (1)where should I get the required Xforms? (2) How exactly to proceed
to install tar.gz?
Thanks again
