I did have LyX 1.3.6 installed by rpm so I started with rpm -e lyx When I read INSTALL, I think it uses xforms by default and I didn't mess with it. Just ran ./configure I think the process _might_ have stopped with a missing lib.png.so.2 error message. (unless that came from the dvipdfm package which I wanted to test which is why I installed LyX137) Maybe I deleted it with the rpm erase of LyX136, I don't know. Anyway I fixed it by using yum install lib.png.so.2 which works pretty automatically most of the time for most files. I haven't tried it, yum install xforms. Anyway you have the link.

The Redhat link for rpm, for example, gave me an error message that it couldn't change ftp directory. Does anyone know where I can download Xforms files? Or, should I try to use QT, and follow the INSTALL directions? I'm using the Gnome GUI, not the KDE GUI.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] lyx-1.3.7] Usually this errors means that you need to install xforms-devel, in addition to xforms (if we are speaking about rpms). Stephen: Well, futzed around, then decided to log out, set session to KDE, and ran the command, 'yum xforms'. It worked magically! This was my first experience with yum. I then ran the command 'yum install lyx' and again, magic! I am now up and running. Thanks, much!
