Hi,
is lyx 1.1.6fix4 supposed to work on a 486 machine?
I've recompiled from source rpm (on a 686 machine so as not to wait ages) 
using xforms-0.89-6, the package works fine on all other machines, but on my 
486 laptop it bails out with a SIGSEGV just after startup. The main window 
flashes for a moment and that's it. The last lines of debug output are

$ lyx -dbg `expr 1 + 2 + 8 + 16384 + 65536 + 262144`
Failed to share colors. Using private colormap
<snip>
Initializing form_character::combox...
Initializing form_character...done
Workarea event: DRAW

lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
</snip>

It doesn't seem to leave a coredump anywhere. I'm using XFree86 4.2.0 from 
RawHide (4.1.0 doesn't seem to work on that machine, 4.0.3 used to but I 
upgraded), twm as window manager (tried under fvwm2 - doesn't seem to change 
things).

I will try recompiling it at the 486 machine, just in case building the 
.i386.rpm on an 686 could have broken something (doubt that, the notebook and 
my desktop run same redhat version, all up-to-date).

In any case, any clues about how to enable coredumps in lyx?

Cheers,
Kuba
