Lars or Jean-Marc,

Can you update the attached on the LyX sites?

It mentions the Redhat-6.2 broken egcs compiler.

The following files are available:

lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm ...................... For Redhat 6.2 and xforms-0.88
lyx-1.2.0-1rh73-xforms089.i386.rpm ........ For Redhat 7.3 and xforms-0.89

Note that Redhat-6.2 uses broken compilers (egcs) and must be updated
to at least gcc-2.95.1 to work with LyX. Use the following RPMs from
rpmfind (in directory ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386)

    gcc-2.95.1-3.i386.rpm
    gcc-c++-2.95.1-3.i386.rpm

Or you can regenerate the RPM for your system using the SRPM:

    ftp://contrib.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/gcc-2.95.1-3.src.rpm

1) Read the xforms-README file for important information
   about xforms and LyX.

2) The default installation prefix is `/usr'. If you want to change
   this, just specify a different prefix using the `--prefix' flag to
   rpm.  For example,

      rpm -Uvh --prefix /opt lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm

   installs with /opt prefix.  

3) The tex related files are installed in a place that tetex can find
   them on a default RedHat system. If you have a different TeX distribution
   or teTeX is installed by hand (without RPM) you may need to move
   some files around and run "texhash"

   In some cases, you may need to install using the `--nodeps' option, like

      rpm -Uvh --nodeps lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm

4) My system is a RedHat Linux/GNU 6.2. If you have problems running
   the binary rpm (e.g. you have an older RH system with older C
   library), then you should have no problem compiling from the src.rpm.
   To do this, do

        rpm --rebuild lyx-1.2.0-1.src.rpm
        cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
        rpm -Uvh lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm

   (or perhaps in the last step you need to use the `--nodeps' and/or the
   `--oldpackage' options; see 3) above).

Note that building lyx requires about 35M free space on your disk.
