[LyX] "Illegal instruction (core dumped)"

2001-02-13 Thread Bobby D. Bryant
I installed Red Hat's 7.1 beta on my test system, and can't get LyX to work. I have tried 1.1.6fix1, both from the RPM and from an in situ compilation, and both bomb off with the "Illegal instruction" error a moment after I invoke LyX (and before anything visibly happens). System: LyX 1.1.6f

Upgraded to 1.1.6

2001-02-13 Thread Stephen Carville
Which fixed the problem with tables. The lyx developers have been _busy_. There is a bunch of nifty new features added between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6. Thanks guys... -- --Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt == G
