Re: Help! Lyx won't run

2003-11-27 Thread Ingar Pareliussen 
Hi,

First I would say that I have used Suse for the last five years, so my 
knowledge of mandrake is a bit limited. 

I think it is quicker for you to roll out your own compilation of LyX than try 
to find a rpm you can use. You will need to decide if you want a xform or a 
qt frontend. If you do not know which one you want, xforms probably is the 
answer. You can always reconsider :)

Anyway whatever you decide you need the libraries and the development 
libraries installed on your PC before you can commence the compilation.
For xform this means installing:
xforms-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
libforms1-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
libforms1-devel-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

When these are installed and you have down loaded the lyx-sourcecode, follow 
the instruction in the INSTALL file the comes with the lyx-source:.
The first part of the INSTALL file:

Here the four steps are:
0) Linux users beware: if compiling the Qt frontend, you need
qt and qt-devel packages of the same version to compile LyX.

1) ./configure
 configures LyX to your system. By default, LyX configures
 the xforms frontend, use --with-frontend=qt to build a Qt
 version. You may have to set
  --with-qt-dir=path-to-your-qt-installation to succeed.

2) make
  compiles the program.

3) src/lyx
runs the program so you can check it out.

4) make install
will install it. You can use make install-strip instead
if you want a smaller binary.


I hope this helps. If you get any errors, feel free to ask more question and 
we'll answer them as best as we can.

Ingar

Re: Help! Lyx won't run

Sure, because it doesn't work from the rpm on the cd :) 
What error(s) do you get when you try to install the rpm?

Also, have you tried running a backtrace using gdb? That output may 
help the developers identify the problem (though it doesn't sound 
like a LyX problem).. actually, that output may help folks on the 
Mandrake list.. upon some googling, it seems that other people are 
also having trouble with other programs and this same library..

Hi,

First I would say that I have used Suse for the last five years, so my 
knowledge of mandrake is a bit limited. 

I think it is quicker for you to roll out your own compilation of LyX than try 
to find a rpm you can use. You will need to decide if you want a xform or a 
qt frontend. If you do not know which one you want, xforms probably is the 
answer. You can always reconsider :)

Anyway whatever you decide you need the libraries and the development 
libraries installed on your PC before you can commence the compilation.
For xform this means installing:
xforms-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
libforms1-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
libforms1-devel-1.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

When these are installed and you have down loaded the lyx-sourcecode, follow 
the instruction in the INSTALL file the comes with the lyx-source:.
The first part of the INSTALL file:

Here the four steps are:
0) Linux users beware: if compiling the Qt frontend, you need
qt and qt-devel packages of the same version to compile LyX.

1) ./configure
 configures LyX to your system. By default, LyX configures
 the xforms frontend, use --with-frontend=qt to build a Qt
 version. You may have to set
  --with-qt-dir=path-to-your-qt-installation to succeed.

2) make
  compiles the program.

3) src/lyx
runs the program so you can check it out.

4) make install
will install it. You can use make install-strip instead
if you want a smaller binary.


I hope this helps. If you get any errors, feel free to ask more question and 
we'll answer them as best as we can.

 I recently upgraded my system from Mandrake 9.0 to Mandrake 9.2. Under
 9.0 it worked perfectly, and I used it to write a novel. Now my novel is
 on hold because of this problem. Can anyone help? I like Lyx much better
 than Openoffice for writing...but I may have to switch if I can't find a
 resolution to this.

As a workaround: what about the xforms frontend. I don't think the
choice of frontends makes much difference when writing a novel, i.e.
mostly 'flat text' (structurally, I hope ;-))

Excuse the repetition - is this getting through to the list? Any ideas
about where else I might find help? 

Thanks

Reuben,

  Yup.

 I have installed Lyx from two seperate RPMs and have compiled from
 source using QT. Attempting to run it under each of the three attempts
 gives me this message:

 Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.4.501

  Can we assume that you checked and confirmed that libgl.so.* exists? I
don't have such a library (and haven't seen a library numbered like that) on
my Red Hat 7.3 system.

 I recently upgraded my system from Mandrake 9.0 to Mandrake 9.2. Under
 9.0 it worked perfectly, and I used it to write a novel.

  Well, then. It's probably a Mandrake problem. I seem to recall reading
either on my local LUG mail list or some application-related mail lists,
that folks have found problems with mdk-9.2. I'd check that out first. I run
Slackware and a couple of legacy Red Hat systems so I know nothing about
Mandrake.

HTH,

Rich
