I located a SuSE RPM that has BOTH libforms.so.0.88 and libforms.so.0.89 included in it - I found it referenced online, but couldn't find it on the web. Luckily I found it on my SuSE disks from my other computer: "xforms-0.89-525.i386.rpm"
However the libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is more problematic. Apparently RH7.3 installs newer versions that lyx 1.2.1 isn't happy with AND installing the older version isn't permitted because it conflicts with the newer version. HAS ANYONE GOTTEN LYX TO WORK ON RH 7.3????? Please help. TIA - Carole On Friday 25 October 2002 04:00 pm, Carole Womeldorf wrote: > I've just upgraded to RH 7.3.
