Install error for LyX 1.3.1 ?!

[Randy Burgess]

I'm a Linux newbie, trying w/a great deal of frustration to install LyX 1.3.1. I'm 
using the Xforms front end, have already installed Xforms 1.0 and Xpm. My LyX 
configure went OK according to the messages. The C compiler (this is on a SuSE 8.1 
distro) is gcc 3.2. When I went to install, things began OK but bombed out with the 
error messages excerpted below. 

Is there anything I can do to fix this and get a working install? The compiler message 
asks me to mail in a bug report, but I don't want to make this a lifetime project. All 
I'm trying to do is see if I would like LyX as an alternative to Microsoft Word on MS 
Windows.

Re: Writing a Novel with LyX?

[Randy Burgess]

 Alas, I end up submitting manuscripts either in 
 hardcopy or in PDF so they can see what it looks 
 like, and in ascii for their publishing
 process.  Trade publishers always reset whatever 
 an author submits, so the formatting is lost in 
 any case. 

What about converting the ascii output to MS Word format via Word macros that convert 
plain-text tags into appropriate Word styles? I ask because I'm writing a how-to book 
(on poker) for a small pub house. I've started in MS Word but am thinking of changing 
to LyX to see what it's like. However my publisher will be giving the manuscript to an 
editor, and it's quite possible that editor will be using MS Word.
