ISSUE #1
------------
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is it the case that
lyx-1.3.0 does not require XFORMS?
If you use the QT frontend, you don't need XForms
First, thanks to all who have responded on this thread.
Now, let me follow up on my progress...(or lack of)
On my Redhat Linux 8.0 pc I still can't seem to get the
WYSIWYG feature of version 1.3.0 to work properly
after installation with the RPM file at the ftp site.
Math symbols, greek letters, etc. are left in their
raw latex form, rather than the symbols. It was
suggested (users group and INSTALL file) that I install
the truetype fonts "latex-ttf-fonts-0.1.tar.gz", which
I tried to do. It didn't seem to help, although I'm
not sure I did it right. I'm not a pro with all
the details that go into putting fonts in their proper
places, setting font paths, and so forth (my machine
vomited when I tried "xset fp+ <fontpath>"...who knows why...
is there more to it than putting the fonts in some directory
and specifiying the font path?)
I thought I'd try to compile 1.3.0 from the tarball
instead, just to see if any magic fixes occurred.
My configure command was
************************************************************
./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-version-suffix=1.3.0
************************************************************
This generated the error message
************************************************************
configure: error: moc binary not found in $PATH or /bin !
************************************************************
Apparently "moc2" and "moc" couldn't be found. I take it
that these necessary QT items don't come with the standard
Redhat 8 installation.
Currently I have the following QT rpm's installed:
qt-3.0.5-17
qt2-2.3.1-8
Any help would be appreciated.
You guys are doing a fantastic job! Version 1.3.0 looks
stunning, which is why I'm desperate to get it working
properly (and yes, I realize this release was not intended
to be ready for prime time).
Best,
Alex Casti
