Hi, LyX seems really cool; I want to start playing around with it badly,
but can't seem to get it to work. I've searched the e-mail list and can't
seem to find a good answer to my problem, so I'll try it here.
First, let me explain that I don't have root access to the RedHat6.2
system that I'm trying to install it on, so I want to install it
(lyx-1.1.6fix3) in my home directory. At the end of running configure, I
get this message:
**** The following problems have been detected by configure.
**** Please check the messages below before running 'make'.
**** (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file)
** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms library
is correctly installed on your system.
** Cannot find forms.h. Please check that the forms library
is correctly installed on your system.
Reading the INSTALL file, I see that I need xforms. I download it from
the site and decompress it. Now, I try to use --with-extra-lib= and
--with-extra-inf= flags. The first problem goes away, but the second one
remains. I check the directory and sure enough there is a "forms.h" file
in there. Yet, configure cannot find it. I tried tricking it by using
--with-extra-prefix= flag, but that didn't work. So, I'm at a loss.
Any help?
Peace and Luck!
