If the crash is occurring on startup before anything is displayed the
problem will almost certainly be that you have the wrong version of the
xforms library. Make sure that the xforms library you have is compiled
for the same version of C library you are running.
If you are using Linux or (probably) FreeBSD systems with glibc2 then you
MUST have xforms-glibc2 otherwise segfaults will occur on startup in the
xforms code.
If you are absolutely sure that the library versions match on your system
then please try to get a backtrace from the core dump. If you have gdb
installed:
gdb lyx core
then
bt
q
will be a step in the right direction.
