Hi,
After a few modifications to the Open Xforms Makefiles, it seems that Open Xforms is now working on my system: /opt/lib/libforms.so.0 /opt/lib/libforms.so -> libforms.so.0 /opt/lib/libforms.a /opt/include/X11/forms.h In my lyx-devel directory I do: $ gmake maintainer-clean $ cvs update $ setenv CFLAGS "-I/opt/include" $ setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/opt/include" $ setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/lib -pthread" $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --prefix=/opt $ gmake # gmake install-strip Well, at least it compiles, so far; but the lyx-executable dumps core now, without doing anything else. The gdb backtrace says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x285b40ee in xdr_u_int () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (gdb) bt #0 0x285b40ee in xdr_u_int () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #1 0x285b4852 in xdr_bytes () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #2 0x285b4924 in xdr_netobj () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #3 0x285ca12a in .cerror () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #4 0x2849ba9c in _X11TransSocketINETConnect () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #5 0x2849ccad in _X11TransConnect () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #6 0x2846798e in _X11TransConnectDisplay () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #7 0x28475b21 in XOpenDisplay () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #8 0x28370347 in fl_initialize (na=0xbfbffa00, arg=0xbfbffa4c, appclass=0x82e30ef "LyX", appopt=0x832b4e0, nappopt=1) at flresource.c:824 #9 0x80c8901 in LyXGUI::LyXGUI (this=0x8388200, owner=0xbfbff9dc, argc=0xbfbffa00, argv=0xbfbffa4c, GUI=true) at lyx_gui.C:110 #10 0x80c9959 in LyX::LyX (this=0xbfbff9dc, argc=0xbfbffa00, argv=0xbfbffa4c) at ../src/lyx_main.C:94 #11 0x80fe8c1 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfbffa4c) at ../src/main.C:38 #12 0x8050855 in _start () Is there a conflict between libc.so.4 and Xforms? Any ideas? Regards, Rob.
