I've installed the libs at /usr/lib and
usr/X11R6/include/X11/xforms/FORMS;
recently

Can you give me the results of ``rpm -qil xforms''?

You can try just installing the RPMs on my machine:

ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx

There is an xforms RPM there that works for Intel-based Redhat 6.X systems.

If you have problems, Email me.

help installing lyx on redhat 6.2

[richard fell]

I am trying to install the lyx-1.1.4 on redhat linux 6.2 and get the following
error message after issuing the ./configure commmand :
** Cannot find libforms or libxfomrs. Please check that the xforms library is
correctly installed on your system.


Now, I installed the xforms rpm from the power tools cd that accompanies the
redhat distribution, so I assume it is installed in the usual default
directory. Am I correct? If so, where is lyx expecting to find the missing
files. Thanks for any and all help,
