I'm having some problems with the recent release (lyx-1.3.0), as well as some XFORMS issues.
My operating system is REDHAT LINUX 8.0 on an i386 PC. ------------ ISSUE #1 ------------ Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is it the case that lyx-1.3.0 does not require XFORMS? Currently, I have xforms-0.88-3 installed (via the binary package xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm). This is the only version of XFORMS that I could get to work with lyx-1.2.3, and I have no idea why. I would love to install xforms 1.0 with an RPM, but I have no idea how to do the rebuilding. I downloaded the source RPM "xforms-1.0-release.src.rpm" from the lyx ftp site. How do I rebuild it into a regular old .rpm file for installation? I tried "rpm --rebuild xforms-1.0-release.src.rpm" but it turns out that "rebuild" is an unknown option. Do I need to install some other package to use "rebuild"? Could somebody out there give me a theoretically fail safe set of instructions so that I can install the newest version of XFORMS? I know that this isn't really a .lyx issue, but I'm stuck. ------------ ISSUE #2 ------------ I used the binary "lyx-1.3.0-1rh8-qt.i386.rpm" to install version 1.3.0. It looks great, except that I don't seem to have the usual WYSIWYG feature when I type in formulas, greek letters, and so forth. It just leaves in the raw latex. However, when I use version 1.3.0 to import older version .lyx files, the WYSIWYG feature is as before. Integrals, sums, etc. show up as the symbols instead of the raw latex. I do get an error message after I've fired up version 1.3.0 : "Adding /usr/share/lyx/xfonts/ to the font path. X Error of failed request: 86 Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 10 Unable to add font path." Is this font problem the root of my WYSIWYG problems? Why does this problem not occur for imports of older lyx files (i.e. version 1.2.3 lyx imported into 1.3.0)?
