OK. libc6 was one of the suspects when trying to compile lyx. ultimately I had to do a clean install (we hadn't found out about the hardware problems yet, either). > You shouldn't use programmes that use xforms anyway, as it's non-free > software. This means a lot less freedom to you (you cannot recompile > xforms for libc6, for example). Currently, there's no real substitute for lyx. Lyx will be moved away from xforms, but it has more pressing matters. There's a couple of different packages under consideration. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
