libc5 problem in Redhat 6.0 continued...
I am still struggling with my libc problem. I have solved it temporarily by creating a symbolic link in my /lib directory to my libc-2.1.* library named libc.so.5. However, someone wrote that it was not a good idea to do so. I do have the libc5 libraries in a directory placed in the /usr directory. It is the standard Redhat 6.0 setup. Without my symbolic link, when I try to run LyX, I get an "error opening shared libraries" message which states that there is no such file or directory concerning libc.so.5. If I try to place a symbolic link in the /lib directory which points to the libc5 file in the /usr/*-linux-libc5 directory, I get a segmentation fault. I've been pondering the man pages for ld and ldconfig, thinking that my problem might be solved by one of those two programs, but I have not discovered anything that might be of help. (I know just enough about computers to be running Linux). I have installed LyX by RPM and by compiling the source myself, but the error ! ! is always the same. If anyone else has run across this problem, or knows a solution to it, please let me know. Other than that, LyX is running great. Thanks, Paul

Thanks for Help, Word Count?
I would like to thank everyone who helped me get my headers straightened out. Now I can plague George Plimpton at the Paris Review with my short stories. One last question, is there a LaTeX command, or otherwise a way in LyX, for taking the word count of a document? Thanks, Paul Cooley

Lyx Installs-Won't Run
I'm having a frustrating problem. It is the same as posted by Ching Yi Tsai. When I try to run lyx, I get the following message: lyx: error in loading shared libraries libc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I am using Redhat 6.0 with all of the libraries and development libraries installed. I have also installed Xforms. I have tried to compile the source myself and have installed 1.0.4pre4 from Kayvan's rpms. Always the same message. I have run ldd /usr/bin/lyx at Kayvan's suggestion, and I receive a message which states there is a bug in ld.so. (I am away from my home computer right now, and do not have the entire message). Knowing I was making a stupid move, I tried to replace ld.so with another version of it and messed up a variety of library issues, so I spent last night reinstalling the whole system from scratch. I thought maybe a fresh start would take care of the lyx problem, but the same message came up. I have seen the message suggesting ldconfig. How is that used? As should be evident by now, I know just enough to get into trouble. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas? Thanks.
Symbolic link solved problem
I would like to thank the people who responded to my request for help. I found that creating a symbolic link to libc.so.6 named libc.so.5 solved my problem. I hope that it is a sound solution, but for the time being, it certainly seems to work. If anyone know of a problem in creating such a link, please let me know. Thanks Paul
