I don't know about this particular version, but I had
problems with xforms and LyX back when I was using
2.2.1-RELEASE. I had upgraded LyX outside of the ports
system to try the latest version and it kept dying. This
turned out to be an incompatible interface change between
different versions of the xforms library (from memory one of
the notice popup functions changed between
(char *, char *, char *)
and
(int, char *, ...)
or something similar). It worked OK when compiled against
the version of xforms listed in the LyX documentation.
