by Hi netters,
Regarding my previous compile error, it turns out the xforms library I compiled from xforms-0.88-3.src.rpm <ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/> has problem. I'm not sure why that src.rpm has problem. The sympton is that even a pre-compiled lyx 1.1.2 ppc will complain:
-------------------------------------
I tried an older lyx (1.1.2), which has ppc binary rpm available.
No error during install. However, something interesting is shown
when I type lyx in my terminal window: (error message)
lyx: error in loading libraries: libforms.so.0.88 ELF file
data encoding not big-endian
-------------------------------------
Something is wrong.
Then, Larry Kollar kindly help me identify the problem and points me to a "good copy" pre-compiled xforms at
<ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/old_releases/champion-1.0/...>
After installing this xforms, I can compile 1.1.4-fix3.src.rpm on my linuxPPC succussfully.
