I've just installed LyX on a FreeBSD server running the latest version of
XFree-4. The client is Redhat 7.2 running the latest version of XFree with
blackbox as a window manager. LyX coredumps if I attempt to tunnel it
through an SSH session. All other X applications run fine. (The
/usr/ports/lyx/.../lyx application is not stripped -- however, my kernel is).
/usr/ports/print/lyx/work/lyx-1.1.6/src/lyx: Can't open display --Invalid
argument
LyX: unable to access X display, exiting
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
Program exited with code 01.
(gdb) bt
No stack.
(gdb)
If I set DISPLAY, and then start LyX, I receive the same error.
bigjay% DISPLAY=192.168.0.11:0
bigjay% gdb /usr/ports/print/lyx/work/lyx-1.1.6/src/lyx
/usr/ports/print/lyx/work/lyx-1.1.6/src/lyx: Can't open display --Invalid

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb) quit
bigjay% echo $DISPLAY
192.168.0.11:0
If I start LyX with the correct -display argument, it starts and runs. When
I open any help documentation (the user guide in this instance), I get the
following stderr message (but the document displays perfectly -- I can scroll
around; the cursor moves; I can jump to references; I can open other
documentation via the help menu):
bigjay% /usr/ports/print/lyx/work/lyx-1.1.6/src/lyx -display 192.168.0.11:0
/** this happens when I open a help document **/
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs'
under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report. Thanks!
Bye.
GS [702] error 6 E:0 0 S:1 6
If I run LyX with -display set and try to use the FILE -> OPEN dialog, I
always get the following coredump:
(gdb) run -display 192.168.0.11:0

Since all of the other X applications that I run work fine, I tend to believe
that this is a LyX problem. I am willing to provide access to my machine for
troubleshooting purposes.
I am running -current (the development version of FreeBSD) but, as I said,
all of my other X-apps run fine.
