Earlier I asked about lyx and g++3, got an email to revert to g++-2.96, so I did, and it did build. If you are a RH user, get the xforms 88 from lyx's contrib dir, and then try this one:
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/lyx-1.2.1-1rh73-xforms088.i386.rpm I copied the name's format from the rpm lyx had on its ftp for version 1.2.0. I'm glad to donate this to the lyx server if it works for other people. As far as I understand it, this does not depend on any RPMS that are not in the RH distribution itself except for xforms, which I got here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/xforms-0.88-4.i386.rpm So if it asks for something when you try to install, get out your cds. I used that xforms because I guessed (at random) that it would be more stable than 0.89. WHen I ran lyx-1.2.0 under 0.89, I got lots of console error messages that grossed me out, but did not hurt lyx as far as I could see. Good luck, let me know if it works. Then tell me how to transport that rpm to the lyx ftp site maintainer. -- Paul E.
