Using Slackware Linux 8.0 on a Pentium III PC I've just commanded:
$ tar xvfz lyx-1.1.6fix3.tar.gz
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lyx-1.1.6fix3
$ make
$ make install
and seen the error messages:

I can't find any mention of this in the documentation - I can't get at
the `Known bugs' document under the `Help menu', because I've not got
that far. (Why isn't the `Known bugs' document prominent on the web
site?)
I'm using g++ 2.95.3, libc 2.2.3, libtool 1.4 (1.920 2001/04/24
23:26:18).
Any ideas? If further information about my environment is needed, just
ask.
