I checked for xforms download, and ran into problems trying to locate
the proper file. The Redhat link for rpm, for example, gave me an error
message that it couldn't change ftp directory. Does anyone know where I
can download Xforms files? Or, should I try to use QT, and follow the
INSTALL directions? I'm using the Gnome GUI, not the KDE GUI.
Here's message when I tried to install 1.3.7 on FC4:

Usually this errors means that you need to install xforms-devel, in
addition
to xforms (if we are speaking about rpms).
Stephen: Well, futzed around, then decided to log out, set session to
KDE, and ran the command, 'yum xforms'. It worked magically! This was
my first experience with yum. I then ran the command 'yum install lyx'
and again, magic! I am now up and running. Thanks, much!
