Hi Brian. LyX comes in two flavours. One version uses the XForms GUI library to display the frontend (what you see when you fire up LyX). The other version uses the Qt GUI library. If you're loader can't find libflimage.so.1 then you're using the XForms version of LyX. You don't need Qt to run it. libflimage is part of XForms but is a separate library object to libforms. Nonetheless, it is packaged in the rpm, here: ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/libforms-1.0-release.i386.rpm I'm not sure what flavour of linux that this rpm was built on. RH7.3 is now quite old, so I think it's safe to say that the rpm was not built on your system. I don't know if there would be any repurcussions if you were to use it. Guess not; if it installs, all should be fine. Nonetheless, you might prefer to play safe and build the rpm for your own box. The src.rpm is to be found here: ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/xforms-1.0-release.src.rpm Finally, there are prebuilt binaries of lyx available here: ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.4 There don't appear to be anything for RH7.3, however.
