I have just installed (last night) lyx-1.3.3-qt on Fedora Core 1 (aka yarrow, aka Red Hat 10, aka FC1). Everything seems to be working without a hitch and even some thinsg that were NOT working correctly in Red Hat 9 are now working... Such as View --> HTML. Apparently there was some problem with perl scripts (which latex2html uses) running on RH9 with LANG=en.UTF-8. In RH9 if LANG=C the perl scripts run fine. Not sure if anyone else had a problem with that but I did. The issue seems to have cleared up in FC1.
In any case...
First I installed the latex-xft-fonts package from: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/latex-xft-fonts-0.1-1.noarch.rpm and did
rpm -ivh latex-xft-fonts-0.1-1.noarch.rpm
Then I grabbed: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.3/lyx-1.3.3-1_qt.src.rpm package and did a:
rpmbuild --rebuild lyx-1.3.3-1_qt.src.rpm
an age of the universe or two later it finished building successfully and installed successfully and seems to run fine.
-DU-...etc...
