I'm having trouble getting lyx 1.2.1 working,
I'm generally an rpm person as I get scared of building binaries,
(having to find the libraries etc, and knowing how to configure stuff)
I downloaded the rpm's for lyx 1.2.1, but it all seems different from
the release of lyx 1.2.0.
With the release of lyx 1.2.0, two options where given for RH users,
those with RH7.2 and those with 7.3, and two files where supplied:
lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm
lyx-1.2.0-1rh73-xforms089.i386.rpm.
I upgraded to RH7.3, and hence installed lyx-1.2.0-1rh73-xforms089.i386.rpm.
(I think I had to install xforms-0.89-1.i386.rpm with it)
When trying to update to the 1.2.1 version of lyx, there is only one rpm
on the ftp site:
lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm
and when I did sudo rpm -ih lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm, I got:
error: failed dependencies:
libforms.so.0.88 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
It seems as if the rpm was compiled using the old xforms (.88)
I don't know why libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is there. I've got:
libstdc++-2.96-112 and libstdc++-3.1-7
which provide me with libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so.
I've also tried to compile the srpm, but I didn't know where to get this
file, (I found a .src.rpm, but not a .srpm, are they the same??) When I
tried doing
sudo rpm --rebuild lyx-1.2.1-1.src.rpm
I got the following response:
lyx-1.2.1-1.src.rpm: No such file or directory
Could someone help me out, (or could RPM's be released similar to
lyx-1.2.0-1rh73-xforms089.i386.rpm).
Thanks,
Pierre
