Can you please help me? I am having no success in running Lyx and I
think the problem is to do with X11/firewalls/ports ...
A while ago I installed Lyx 1.1.5 onto a PC running Red Hat 6.0 Linux
(running 2.2.10 kernel) from an RPM at ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/, along
with xforms0.88. All worked fine.
I then moved from the University of Cambridge (where the PC stayed) to
the University of York. For various reasons, I am unable to install a
copy of LyX here, but want to keep using it! The machine on my desk is
an ageing DEC Alpha 3000 (133MHz CPU, 96 MB RAM) with an ethernet
connection, running ssh v1.2.24. At York there is a firewall and so I
have to use ssh to get in/out of Cambridge. Every other X application
works fine over ssh, except for LyX! Is it possible to configure LyX to
run through a firewall in this way? If so, how do you do it?
I enclose the result of trying to run LyX, with debugging turned on for
both ssh and for LyX. The Cambridge PC is tcmpc1.phy.cam.ac.uk and the
York Alpha is coco.york.ac.uk.
