I munged lyx to get around the changes in xforms 0.86 and got it to compile and link. Unfortunately, it core dumps when run. I just grabbed xforms 0.81 and compiled using that. I was unable to get the latest version of lyx to work. Can't remember anymore what went wrong. --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) garyj@muc.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
