I have a RH7.2 linux system. I tried to install the lyx-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm. I got the following error.
error: failed dependencies: libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by lyx-1.2.0-1 I tried to install libstdc++...rpm from another source, but it failed because i had a newer verison installed. i tried to copy the so file, and still the rpm did not install. So, i downloaded the lyx-1.2.0 source. I get the following error when I compile. I have xforms 0.88 a.out static binaries installed. /usr/lib/libforms.a I get the following error at the end of ./configure ======== Configuration Host type: i686-pc-linux-gnu Special build flags: included-libsigc C Compiler: gcc C Compiler flags: -g -O2 C++ Compiler: g++ (2.96) C++ Compiler flags: -O -fno-exceptions Linker flags: Frontend: xforms libXpm version: 4.11 libforms version: 0.88.0 LyX binary dir: /usr/local/bin LyX files dir: /usr/local/share/lyx **** 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. ======== I tried --with-extra-lib=/usr/lib --with-extra-inc=/usr/include still i get the same error. I tried make, thinking that this was a spurious warning message. After a long compile, I get: make[6]: Entering directory `/home/jaa/LyX/lyx-1.2.0/src/frontends/qt2/ui' make[6]: *** No rule to make target `QAboutDialogBase.C', needed by `QAboutDialogBase.lo'. Stop. make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/jaa/LyX/lyx-1.2.0/src/frontends/qt2/ui' make[5]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ---- I would really love to use LyX ASAP, any suggestions on what I should try to do next? thx in advance for your help. jaH
