First to the lyx-devel list: the STL excessively long symbol names barfing Solaris 2.6 ld problem can be worked around by compiling gcc to use gnu binutils. Took me hours, but now I can confirm success using
Solaris-2.6 gcc-3.0.4 binutils-2.12 lyx-1.1.6fix4 I think working around the ld problem would still be worth while as in the current state of affairs I really can't recommend using Lyx to my colleagues.

I prefere generally email submission because - I do not have to learn anything new (except bug reporting address) - the forms user interfaces are often awful. For example the Lyx bug reporting form does not offer 80 character wide textarea and my compiler output was wrapped so badly as to render it really difficult to read. - I can not Cc other interested parties, such as my colleagues on the bug report - I am experienced bug reporter so I think I can distill the relevant information without guidance > Bugzilla only uses cookies for storing login information, I'm not sure > if it works with them turned off, though I'd be surprised if it does. > However, you submitted a bug logged in as yourself so .....

I used it for one project myself two years back. --Sampo __________________________________________________________________ SymLABS DirectoryScript www.symlabs.com e-nabling triggers and stored mobile=+351-918.731.007 your biz procedures for LDAP fax=+351-214.222.637
