I have a RH7.2 linux system.
I tried to install the lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm.
I got the following error.
error: failed dependencies:
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by lyx-1.2.0-1
I tried to install libstdc++...rpm from another source,
but it failed because i had a newer verison installed.
i tried to copy the so file, and still the rpm did not install.
So, i downloaded the lyx-1.2.0 source.
I get the following error when I compile. I have xforms 0.88
a.out static binaries installed. /usr/lib/libforms.a
I get the following error at the end of ./configure

I tried --with-extra-lib=/usr/lib --with-extra-inc=/usr/include
still i get the same error.
I tried make, thinking that this was a spurious warning message.
After a long compile, I get:
make[6]: Entering directory `/home/jaa/LyX/lyx-1.2.0/src/frontends/qt2/ui'
make[6]: *** No rule to make target `QAboutDialogBase.C', needed by
`QAboutDialogBase.lo'. Stop.
make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/jaa/LyX/lyx-1.2.0/src/frontends/qt2/ui'
make[5]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I would really love to use LyX ASAP, any suggestions on what I should
try to do next?
thx in advance for your help.
