Being a happy LyX user and a Linux newbie, my first attempt to build source and binary RPMs from source tarball was with the new 1.2.0 release. I've just recycled the spec file from Kayvan Sylvan's 1.1.6fix4 source RPM.
I'd be happy to share these, just let me know where to send them. They were built on a RH7.3 box with xforms-0.89-6. Thanks for a great release! Regards, Milos Komarcevic
