As noted in this list last week, RH7 is distributed with a bogus compiler, gcc-2.96. Lyx does not compile, there are all kinds of errors pointing back to the standard template library of c++.

I've searched pretty far and wide in the usenet for solutions. I'm looking at an alternative program called Texmacs at the moment, but it is not quite so far along as Lyx, and I'd like to keep up the Lyx effort. -- Paul E.
