Note, BTW (just realise this) that if lynx has non-POSIX stuff in it
(forgetting to #include <errno.h> etc), you'll have to use minor
ajustments (and those are unrelated to xforms not being libx6).
But after that, it should compile fine.
And, currently all the xlib's are libc5, while many X packages
have already been recompiled for libc6 -- all of those packages appear
to work fine. So, I don't expect problems for you, but that certainly
isn't a guarantee.

Hey, that's good news -- I didn't know that yet. Last time I checked,
I remember them saying something that they will always continue to
use xforms, but if they intend to move away from xforms now, I might
start getting interested in Lyx.
Thanks,
