Lyx lyx-0.12.0-3.i386.rpm works fine on my system. I've been trying
to install 1.0.1. First I 'rpm -e' 0.12. When I try to install
lyx-1.0.1-2.src.rpm using 'rpm --rebuild lyx-1.0.1-2.src.rpm' it stops
with this error:
> ../src/main.C:12: forms.h: No such file or directory
> ../src/main.C:31: #error LyX will not compile with this version of
> XForms. Please get version 0.88 (0.81 and 0.86 also work). If you

I do have XForms on this system:
> [root@localhost src]# rpm -q xforms
> xforms-0.88.1-1
When I try to ./configure the tar.gz of 1.0.1 using './configure
--with-extra-lib=/usr/X11R6/lib/' I get the following:
> **** The following problems have been detected by configure.
> **** Please check the messages below before running 'make'.
> **** (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file)

> ** Can't find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the

When I try to find those files, I get
> [kevin@localhost lyx-1.0.1]$ locate forms.h
> [kevin@localhost lyx-1.0.1]$ locate libforms
> /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88
> [kevin@localhost lyx-1.0.1]$ locate libxforms
> [kevin@localhost lyx-1.0.1]$
When I go back and try to 'rpm -ivh lyx-0.12.0-3.i386.rpm' it works
fine.
A 'make symlinks' in the kernel source (2.0.36) didn't help. (Not
that I expected it to, since 'locate' couldn't find forms.h.) This is
a Red Hat 5.1 system with upgraded bits and pieces.
Since I have XForms installed, I don't know where to start looking for
the problem. Any ideas?
