After verifying that 1.1.6fix4 has the same Apply bug as 1.1.6fix2,
I've pursued more recent versions of LyX, and have a question. It
seems 1.3.2, which John Levon says is free of this bug, needs way too
many libraries to be installable in my SuSE 7.3 distro (see below),
but the rpm for 1.2 complains only about two tetex things, same as
1.1.6, and I'm sure those complaints are benign.
So I tried installing lyx-1.2.3-1rh73.i386.rpm, and got no fatal-
sounding errors during the installation, but when I try to run lyx,
it dies with:
error while loading shared libraries: \
lyx: undefined symbol: __dynamic_cast_2
Is this a problem with my C libraries, that would not be solved by
compiling the source, or would it be worth my while to try
downloading the src and building it? My gcc is 2.95.3-124, according
to rpm. Or is there simply a library of some sort I could install
that would cure the above error?
A more important question is: does 1.2.3 still have the
Layout->Paragraph Apply-does-nothing bug? If so, then I should simply
move back to 1.1.5 until I can move all the way to 1.3.2 or beyond.
TIA,
Jim
If it's of any use, these are the errors from 1.3.2:
rpm -U --test lyx-1.3.2-1suse81-qt.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
