Hi JMarc,
Thanks for your help. I have attached the file.
The first related problem I see is:
configure:3222: checking for X11/forms.h
configure:3232: g++ -E -I/usr/X11R6/include conftest.C /dev/null
2conftest.$
configure:3228: X11/forms.h: No such file or directory
It seems that the configure doesn't realize that forms.h was installed in
/usr/local/include.
I would think that the xforms "make install" would put these various files
in "standard" places where LyX would see them.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Bill

lyx 1.1.2 bug?
I've installed recently 1.1.2 lyx on a 6.1 RH box but it seems to crash when it runs latex (e.g. view dvi or update) on a relatively large multiple part document (report ... thesis). When I go to the /tmp directory the dvi file seems to be ok although I have to run manually latex few more times for the toc and references. It is strange though because running a chpter on its own toc and references seems to be fine. An older lyx version (1.0.4?) on the same system does not have this problem at all. Panos

Staffan Ringbom ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) entered the
following feedback message on the LyX home page:
eepic and epic.
In order to get eepic to work with lyx I made the following trick
(think I succeeded after some reading of Latex manuals)
1. I imported the tex file with the picture generated for eepic
into my lyx document.
2. Saved the file as lyx file and exported it as a latex file.
3. edited the latexfile and added 2 rows
\\usepackage{epic}
\\usepackage{eepic}
in the sequence of all the other \"usepackages\"
4. Imported my texfile back into lyx.
SUCCESS I can view pictures with the xdvi - viewer. Just perfect.
Best regards.
In order to get nice pictures produced with gnuplot
into my lyx document I did the following.

eepic and epic.
In order to get eepic to work with lyx I made the following trick
(think I succeeded after some reading of Latex manuals)
1. I imported the tex file with the picture generated for eepic
into my lyx document.
2. Saved the file as lyx file and exported it as a latex file.
3. edited the latexfile and added 2 rows
\\usepackage{epic}
\\usepackage{eepic}
in the sequence of all the other \"usepackages\"
4. Imported my texfile back into lyx.
SUCCESS I can view pictures with the xdvi - viewer. Just perfect.
Best regards.

Hi JMarc,
Thanks for your help. I have attached the file.
The first related problem I see is:
configure:3222: checking for X11/forms.h
configure:3232: g++ -E -I/usr/X11R6/include conftest.C >/dev/null
2>conftest.$
configure:3228: X11/forms.h: No such file or directory
It seems that the configure doesn't realize that forms.h was installed in
/usr/local/include.
I would think that the xforms "make install" would put these various files
in "standard" places where LyX would see them.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Bill

xforms woes
Apparently the xforms installer does not work. I just tried "make demo", and got a string of error messages, and no executable demos. The errors are like this: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: [folder] Error 1 (ignored) gcc -c -O -I../FORMS -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ifd popup.c gcc -O -s popup.o -o popup -L../FORMS -lforms -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm ../FORMS/libforms.so: undefined reference to `_xstat' I am not sure what to do at this point to get lyx installed (first xforms).. Thanks for any help! Bill

The files should have been installed when you installed XFree86 I think.

It was only looking for libforms in ../FORMS and did find it. BUT, its that `_xstat' that's the problem. That symbol looks a bit dodgy. I can't remember what system you were running but on my heavily modified RH-5.2 Linux there is an `__xstat' defined in libX11. Try running: strings /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11* | grep xstat If you don't get a `_xstat' (and I doubt you will) try strings /usr/X11R6/lib/lib* | grep xstat and see if any of the other libraries have an `_xstat' My suspicion is that there is something wrong with the xforms lib you are trying to install since it would seem to have been linked against a different set of X11 libraries than you have installed.

vertical line on multiple pages
Hi all In a scriptum I need to mark the examples specially with a vertical line on the left side of these paragraphes. Is it possible to draw such a line from a certain text position to a defined end position (if necessary over multiple pages? ) Please e-mail me directly any suggestions, as I am not subscribed to the mailing list. Thanks for any help Hanspeter
lyx 1.1.2 bug?
I've installed recently 1.1.2 lyx on a 6.1 RH box but it seems to crash when it runs latex (e.g. view dvi or update) on a relatively large multiple part document (report ... thesis). When I go to the /tmp directory the dvi file seems to be ok although I have to run manually latex few more times for the toc and references. It is strange though because running a chpter on its own toc and references seems to be fine. An older lyx version (1.0.4?) on the same system does not have this problem at all. Panos
