These were work arounds for cxx 6.2 that comes with Tru64 Unix 4.0e. If you're using a 5.1 system then the cxx compiler should be more than capable of compiling LyX unmodified. Any errors it throws up will almost certainly be genuine LyX bugs which should be reported to the lyx-devel list. The cxx that comes with 4.0d, however, is just not up to the task at all. Angus
