Hi Andre',
Sorry, I should have referenced my other note in this one;
I'm using a SuSE 7.3 installation, by now apparently too old.
Its gcc is gcc-2.95.3-124, with qt-2.3.1-60.
When I tried to install LyX 1.3.2 I got:
rpm -U --test lyx-1.3.2-1suse81-qt.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libGLcore.so.1 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
liblcms.so is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
libpng12.so.0 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt
Checking my /usr/lib, I see:
(no libGLcore, libgcc_s, or libpng12 at all)
(liblcms.so@ and liblcms.so.1.0.7*)
libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so*
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.a
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so*
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2*
libstdc++.so.2.7.2*
libstdc++.so.2.8*
libstdc++.so.2.9*
which sounds a long way from libstdc++.so.5 and friends.
(I don't know why rpm didn't find the liblcms.so symlink to liblcms.so.1.0.7)
I know it would be nice to upgrade to the latest, especially LyX, but
I also know that upgrading gcc and the libs is not trivial without
known-compatible versions of everything on a nice CD, so I hesitate,
and decided to fall back to trusty old LyX 1.1.5 until I can download
(over a tenuous 56K line) all the gcc/libs and verify their
compatibility or spring for a new Linux CD. If I'm overlooking
something that might make upgrading to LyX 1.3.2 easy, I'm open to
suggestions.
Thanks very much for asking :)
Jim
