Is anyone out there using LyX on FC4?
I am using LyX on FC4 with no problem. The way I installed it was:
1. copied my own .lyx directory into my home directory;
2. yum install lyx.
I just finished installing LyX 1.3.6 on FC4. I used these files.
latex-xft-fonts-0.1-2.1.fc3.rf.noarch.rpm
libaiksaurus-1.2_0-1.2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
lyx-1.3.6-1.li.noarch.rpm
lyx-qt-1.3.6-1.li.fc4.i586.rpm
I didn't follow the whole thread, but if it hadn't already been pointed
out, you used the wrong rpms. lyx and mathml-fonts are both in Fedora
Extras. Either manually download them, or simply enable the Fedora
Extras repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo, and use:
yum install lyx
as originally suggested.

Originally, yum installed lyx 1.3.5. Someone said this was fixed about
3 weeks ago. The OP installed the Tex Live dvd. If you use yum, it
overwrites the TL tetex installation. The OP's complaint was that RH
rpms lagged at least a year behind the fixes in the Tex Live cd and so
he did not want them overwritten.
I used those rpms because they don't insist on installing tetex as a
dependency (rpms don't see non-rpms) and erasing TL tetex (2nd)
and originally because that was all I could find. They worked just fine.
Maybe the Bakoma fonts should be in extras along with math-ml fonts?
The default is A4. I changed it to US with texconfig --paper letter
or some syntax close to that. Apparently there is antipathy towards
the fedora tetex rpms on comp.text.tex and even if Peter Flynn is
an expert on Latex, he doesn't need to carry his agenda into the
lyx-user mailing list, IMO, especially since he did so without humor.
Water under the bridge,
