Links vs. -nodeps for install LYX on RH7.3?

[Carole Womeldorf]

I've just upgraded to RH 7.3.  I found three RPMS that seem nearly 
appropriate:

 A) lyx-1.2.0-3.i386.rpm
 B) lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm
 C) lyx-1.2.1-1rh8-xforms089.i386.rpm

With each I get dependency errors - 

A) [root@Lyx_Install]# rpm -Uvh --test lyx-1.2.0-3.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        xdvi is needed by lyx-1.2.0-3
        libAiksaurus.so.0   is needed by lyx-1.2.0-3
        libstdc++.so.2.10   is needed by lyx-1.2.0-3
        Aiksaurus   is needed by lyx-1.2.0-3
B)  [root@Lyx_Install]# rpm -Uvh lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libforms.so.0.88 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
        libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
C)  [root@Lyx_Install]# rpm -Uvh lyx-1.2.1-1rh8-xforms089.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libgcc_s.so.1   is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
        libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)   is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
        libstdc++.so.5   is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
        libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2)   is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1

(B) with the fewest problems, is most promising AND I do have 
installed: 
        ./usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
        ./usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
and 
        ./usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.89

So I guess the reasonable response is go with (B), the  
lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm file.
AND use -nodeps.

OR Would it be helpful to create the following links:

ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3   libstdc++-libc6.2-1.so.3
ln -s libforms.so.0.89              libforms.so.0.88
