Hi, New user!
I am trying to install lyx 1.1.6fix4 on a Gnu/Linux debian system. The current .deb package is 1.1.4fix3 and my printer didn't set up properly with that version. So I thought a later version would be the answer. I downloaded lyx-1.1.6fix4-i386-2.tgz from lyx.org and using alien converted it to a .deb package and installed it using dpkg -i lyx-1.1.6fix-i386_2-1_all.deb. This updated the installed lyx package from 1.1.4fix3 to 1.1.6fix4. But when I run 'lyx' from a command line (to launch the program) I get the following error message: lyx: error in loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. My guess is that there is a broken or missing link here. My system does not have libstdc++-lib6.2-2.so.3. It does have /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.a.3 /usr/lib/lbstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? Is there something else I need to download? Do I need to make a link? Should I just try the rpm package and convert that to a .deb? anxious and eager to get started with lyx bill
