( I didn't used options like --force William> or --nodeps ). Actually, xforms (for now) only exists in binary form, and linux distribution maintainers do not want to include it for this reason. Therefore mandrake chose to provide a binary rpm which is statcally linked with xforms (which is why you do not have xforms installed). Unfortunately, they chose a version of xforms compiled against glibc2.0, which crashes quite reliably in some cases (tryig to show an error message) when used with glibc2.[12]. This has been a known problem for some years, but I do not know of a place to report bugs for mandrake :( William> Do you know of other packages Not in RPM dependencies for William> lyx , that I shoud install to get Lyx working Better ? Try to pick an xforms rpm from ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib and a lyx rpm from ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.1.6fix4/. The ones for redhat 7.x should work.
