Re: RedHat 7.0, lyx rpm, new user
Hello, Wai-Sun's instructions work fine, and I built lyx 1.1.6pre3 with xforms 0.89 following his instructions. Thanks! But I found out yesterday quite by accident that the problem is elsewhere. To wit: It turns out that the problem of no Greek letters on lyx is limited to the case where I run lyx on a KDE 1.1.2 desktop. I found this out quite by accident when I used ssh X forwarding to show a lyx-using friend the problem, and MY version of lyx displayed just fine on HIS desktop (SuSE 7.0, I think KDE 2.x). If I use VNC to start a twm desktop on my machine and then view it, once again the lyx display is fine if started on the twm desktop. So the problem is KDE, not lyx. It seems like this must be some kind of FAQ with a well-documented solution, but I'm not finding it. The only message lyx produces on startup is "Warning: Setting language `default' to `english'." -- Stephen Walton, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, California State University, Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 7 Jan 2001, Wai-Sun Chia wrote: To help in solving the RH7 mysteries/nightmares, below is the combination that I have success with: Distro: RH7 Kernel: 2.4.0-test9 (with ReiserFS patch) Gcc: gcc-2.96-69 (from Rawhide) Glibc:glibc-2.2-9 (from Rawhide) Xforms: RPM homemade (instructions as per previous posting, and yes the forms_sngl.ps.gz is from the RH 0.88 RPM) Lyx: lyx-1.1.6pre3 Stephen Walton wrote: I just installed lyx-1.1.5fix2-1.i386.rpm and xforms-0.88-15.i386.rpm on my RedHat 7.0 system; the former from the LyX FTP site and the latter from the RedHat 7.0 Powertools CD.

RedHat 7.0, lyx rpm, new user
Hi, all, I just installed lyx-1.1.5fix2-1.i386.rpm and xforms-0.88-15.i386.rpm on my RedHat 7.0 system; the former from the LyX FTP site and the latter from the RedHat 7.0 Powertools CD. Now, I've seen a lot of complaints on this list about this combination, but it seems to work here with RedHat's latest gcc and glibc versions (gcc-2.96-69 and glibc-2.2-5). With one exception: I'm not seeing Greek letters displayed in the LyX window, though they are of course in the LaTeX source I'm importing. In hopes of fixing the problem, I tried installing xforms-0.89 according to the instructions in Wai-Sun Chia's message of January 2 (archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg08330.html), but rpm complained that it couldn't find the file forms_sngl.ps.gz which the SPEC file in that message lists as needed. The only place I can find this file is inside the RedHat distribution of the xforms-devel-0.88 RPM, and I wouldn't be sure it was the correct version. The file doesn't seem to be directly downloadable from the XForms Web site mirror(s). Any ideas? I'm running the KDE 1.1 desktop if that matters. -- Stephen Walton, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, California State University, Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]
