Hello, I have just installed lyx-1.2.1 succesfully on 'null' (3e RH-8.0 beta with gcc-3.2) using lyx-1.2.1-1.src.rpm and xforms-0.89-1.src.rpm.
In fact everything compiled very smoothly using gcc-3.2! However I first tried to use xforms-1.0RC4.tgz. I was unable to compile this version of xforms. I didn't save the results or make notes so I can't remember what the problems where. In any case at one time "Xext" could not be found (related to 'fdesign'). (I also got a lot of garbage warnings about /usr/local/include not being a 'regular?' directory and 'sort orders?' though things seemed to be working alright up to point of failure) I also have the impression that xmkmf does not create a quite correct Makefile for my setup, maybe related to entries in Imakefile? As I am not a programmer I find it very difficult and time consuming to explore these problems on my own and I also don't feel like joining yet another mailing list to try and get answers. So I want to ask if anybody here has been able to compile xforms-1.0RC4. Did you encounter comparable problems and what did you do. Anybody made an xforms-1.0RC4.src.rpm yet? (I have found some probably usable spec files on the net but first the thing has to compile). Alexander
