Hi,
Before I mail to the developers list, I would like to share some redhat-7.0
problems with LyX, to see if anybody has hacked a way around them. If not,
here is a story for you to be ware of potential problems. You might be left
without a working LyX.
I updated to redhat-7.0 and compiled LyX 1.1.5fix2 and kept on using LyX
without any troubles. But then I updated my system with everything from the
update directory from a redhat mirror: pub/redhat/updates/7.0/i386/. Among
the updates is glibc-2.1.94-3 for the redhat gcc-2.96-54 release (funny, the
guys at gnu say there is no such thing as gcc-2.96).
After updating, LyX 1.1.5fix2 will crash without even a core dump if there is
any included file in the lyx document you try to open. If you create a new
document and press the include menu: it crashes the same way. That is as far
as I got before I tried to recompile.
With the updated glibc, compilation of LyX 1.1.5.fix2 fails, as well as
compilation of 1.1.6pre1. Has anyone had any luck with the shapshot versions
of klyx?

(redhat-7.0 kernel=2.2.16-22)
I try to recompile LyX 1.1.5fix2 and it fails with:

O well, I guess I should try LyX 1.1.6pre1. But here again it fails with:

------------------------------
So let's try the klyx snapshot of 20001005. It compiles OK, but when I try to
execute, it fails to run with:
------------------------
klyx: kcmdlineargs.cpp:140: void KCmdLineArgs::init (int, char **, const
KAboutData *, bool): Assertion `argsList == 0' failed.
Aborted
-----------------------
Oh-oh. I'm off to get a more recent snapshop, but ftp.kde.org seems to be
overloaded. Back to redhat-6.2?
