Sylvain Plante writes: I've downloaded the LyX 1.2.0 binary distribution and installed it on a workstation with solaris 2.8. When I run the script "lyx", I get the following message: ld.so.1: ./lyx: fatal: libforms.so.0.88: open failed: No such file or directory Killed I built that distribution, so perhaps I can help. The distribution needs the libforms libraries, preferably installed in /usr/local/lib. I compiled the Solaris-8 binaries using the xforms-0.88 libraries because the <compose> key does not work in the Solaris versions of the newer xforms libraries.
Fix: fetch the xforms-0.88 libraries and install libforms.so and libforms.so.0.88 in /usr/local/lib on the machine(s) where you plan to run LyX. We use an NFS-shared /usr/local/lib for all of our Solaris machines. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
