Re: Installing Problems
Thank you for the warning. I will look for a compatible xforms version to solve the problem definitely. At the moment, I was just very glad that LyX was running at all. Best Wishes, Juergen.

Installing Problems
Hello out there! I have installed lyx 1.1.5fix2 on my desktop an it works perfectly. Now I wanted to install it on my laptop. But I can't get it work. When I try to start lyx in the XTerm, I get the following message: "lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'known bugs' under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report, Thanks!" I tried it with the 1.1.5fix1 and fix2 RPM-files and also with the tar.gz - always the same result. Surprisingly, if I install version 1.1.4fix3 from my SuSE 7.0 CD-Rom (which file has 8 MB, btw), this version works! As you might have realized, my operating system is SuSE Linux 7.0 (with less packages on the laptop). Well, after this hard day, you are my last hope... Thanks in advance, Juergen. -- Dorfstr. 55 79341 Hecklingen Tel.: 07644/ 930642 Fax: 07644/ 930643

If your laptop has fewer colours than your desktop (8bit vs 16bit for example) then there is a very good chance you are triggering a bug caused by the use of the incorrect version of the xforms library. Make sure the xforms library matches your glibc version. There are a number of distributions that include xforms as an extra package and include a version compiled for an earlier glibc version. For SuSE-70 which uses glibc-2.1.3 IIRC you should ensure that the xforms library you installed was called something like xforms-0.8X-glibc2.1.tar.gz where X is either an 8 or a 9. If you installed an xforms rpm then you may not see mention of which glibc that xforms version was meant for. Allan. (ARRae)
