Risto that there's something in the installation.

I've seen this kind of problems with badly configured linux
systems. You could check that 

1/ your xforms library is effectlively for libc6 (and not libc5): you
can see that by doing a 'ldd lyx'

2/ your C library (libc6 aka glibc2) is new enough

Hope this helps.

Lyx 1.0.1 preview etc.

1999-03-29 Thread Risto . Kuusisto

Hello Lyx users !

I've just succeeded in getting Lyx to work somehow.
My system is RedHat 5.2 and i had to link some library files to the
appropriate
directories before it started to work (xforms, if i remember correctly, i
just guessed their location).
I did the rpm-installation  with glint.
Now i can go through come of the lyx-documentation and help-files.

One of the problems is, that i can't do anything that would mean writing
something
to a file from Lyx. I can't use any of the preview-commands or i can't save
configuration
data (the last command in the options-menu).

The program crashes every time i try to do something like that.
E.g in the case of preview i get the message, that Lyx isn't able to go to
the
directory /tmp/...(something) and then it's over. I have checked that the
tmp-directory
in question actually exists (after the execution of Lyx). I've also checked
the rights of the directories
and they seem to be OK, also in the case of /home/risto/.lyx .
From the command-line interface i can see also, that Lyx suggetst that i've
found a bug
(somewhere i saw a number 138) from the program, but i suspect that there's
something in the installation.

Any ideas how to proceed ?
