Problem with obtaining Mandrake rpm of LyX 1.3.4

2004-02-20 Thread Paul Smith
Dear All

Angus has kindly suggested me the following to obtain the Mandrake 9.2 rpm 
for LyX 1.3.4:

$ cd /home/paul/lyx-1.3.4
$ ./autogen.sh
$ mkdir build
$ ./configure
$ make rpmdist
However, when I ./configure, after a lot of non-relevant verbose, I get the 
following:

 The following problems have been detected by configure.
 Please check the messages below before running 'make'.
 (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file)
** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms library
  is correctly installed on your system.
** Cannot find forms.h. Please check that the forms library
  is correctly installed on your system.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lyx-1.3.4]#

I have already installed the two packages (xforms and forms), but I do not 
see any progress after that, I mean, everything remains as before. Could 
someone here please help me?

Thank you a lot in advance!

Paul

On SuSE, there's a package xforms-devel ocntaining the xforms header file.
Maybe the equivalent is missing on your machine.

xforms!

That did the trick: I have already got LyX 1.3.4 working on my Mandrake 9.2 
machine! Just a very minor correction, but maybe useful for other people: it 
is --nodeps and not --no-deps

Congratulations to LyX team for the new version!
