upgrading 1.2.1 rpm to 1.2.3
Hi, until now, I've only installed the LyX rpm. I want to upgrade to 1.2.3, of which there only the source code is available on the LyX site. That's ok, I've compiled things before, but do I have to remove my current installation of LyX, using rpm -e lyx, or can I just compile and install the new version without removing the old one? Well, if I do have to remove my previous installation, does that also remove my configuration files in /home/vinay/.lyx/ so that I would have to back them up? Thank you, Vinay

Thank you, Vinay Hello Vinay, if you want to run more than one version of lyx in parallel do a ./configure --program-suffix=-1.2.3 --with-version-suffix=-1.2.3 Assuming the configure is sucessful, and make make install-strip work, you will find lyx-1.2.3, relyx-1.2.3 and noweb2lyx-1.2.3 in /usr/local/bin. Now you can either move those files somewhere in you $PATH or extend $PATH to include /usr/local/bin. If you type lyx you start the old lyx 1.2.1, lyx-1.2.3 will give you lyx-1.2.3. The first time you start lyx-1.2.3 an new directoy .lyx-1.2.3 will be created where your configuration will be stored. That means that you can leave your old .lyx untouched, and lyx-1.2.3 will not mess with our old confuguration. Question?

Hi Michael, Michael Abshoff wrote: if you want to run more than one version of lyx in parallel do a ./configure --program-suffix=-1.2.3 --with-version-suffix=-1.2.3 Ok, before I do that, do I have to upgrade XForms for the new LyX version? Currently, I use xforms-0.89-1, also an rpm. If I do, that is, I remove XForms with rpm -e xforms and install the new version (1.0) as described in its documentation, would that mess up my current installation? Would LyX 1.2.1 be able to find and work with the new XForms? Assuming the configure is sucessful, and make make install-strip work, you will find lyx-1.2.3, relyx-1.2.3 and noweb2lyx-1.2.3 in /usr/local/bin.

Re: upgrading 1.2.1 rpm to 1.2.3
Nope, didn't work. My C++ compiler doesn't seem to suffice. I use SuSE 8.0 with gcc as compiler. During configuration, the machine complaints that it cannot execute `cc1plus'. Which compiler do you recommend for compiling LyX. Does it have anything to do with libXpm. I didn't need it when I installed the rpm's, but I need it for the compilation. I just unpacked the package, there was nothing to install. Perhaps that has something to do with it, but it doesn't seem like it, since it only complaints about my C++ compiler. Any idea? Vinay

Well, I just reinstalled gcc, which seems to be a C compiler. Since it was my C++ compiler that was lacking, if I did have any, I also installed gpp, the C++ compiler. This probably solved it, 'cause configuration went fine. The machine recognized gcc as my C compiler and gpp as my C++ compiler, I needed both. Now I'm facing new difficulties. 1. It can not find libforms or libxforms. Since I do have XForms installed, the 0.89-1 rpm, I have to direct it there with the --with-extra-lib option, according to the INSTALL file. I do not have the faintest idea where these files should be. Could you help? 2. It cannot find forms.h. I suppose they should be part of XForms as well. Might there be something wrong with my XForms package? According to the INSTALL file, this could be the case if I haven't installed the kernel sources. Does that mean that I shouldn't have the rpm installed but have compiled it from source code instead? Do you have a good solution for this. If I do have to remove my current XForms installation and install it from source instead, LyX 1.2.1, which uses my current XForms, might not work anymore, even if I install the new version, right? Or will everything go fine as long as i run ldconfig after make install? Well, there is progress though... :) Vinay
upgrading 1.2.1 rpm to 1.2.3
Hi, until now, I've only installed the LyX rpm. I want to upgrade to 1.2.3, of which there only the source code is available on the LyX site. That's ok, I've compiled things before, but do I have to remove my current installation of LyX, using rpm -e lyx, or can I just compile and install the new version without removing the old one? Well, if I do have to remove my previous installation, does that also remove my configuration files in /home/vinay/.lyx/ so that I would have to back them up? Thank you, Vinay

Thank you, Vinay Hello Vinay, if you want to run more than one version of lyx in parallel do a ./configure --program-suffix=-1.2.3 --with-version-suffix=-1.2.3 Assuming the configure is sucessful, and make make install-strip work, you will find lyx-1.2.3, relyx-1.2.3 and noweb2lyx-1.2.3 in /usr/local/bin. Now you can either move those files somewhere in you $PATH or extend $PATH to include /usr/local/bin. If you type lyx you start the old lyx 1.2.1, lyx-1.2.3 will give you lyx-1.2.3. The first time you start lyx-1.2.3 an new directoy .lyx-1.2.3 will be created where your configuration will be stored. That means that you can leave your old .lyx untouched, and lyx-1.2.3 will not mess with our old confuguration. Question?
