The description below apply only to the Intel platform, but only minor
changes should be needed for other platforms.
-1) Install qt-4.1.1 or later. If you are using RPMs, make sure to install
+1) Install qt-4.2.2 or later. If you are using RPMs, make sure to install
the qt-devel packages as well.
2) Install LaTeX. You can do this using RPMs from your distribution that
- might be splitted in multiple packages (e.g. tetex-xdvi, tetex,
- tetex-latex), or you can install TeXLive straight from the DVD.
+ might be splitted in multiple packages (e.g. texlive, texlive-latex),
+ or you can install TeXLive straight from the DVD.
3) Copy lyx.spec to the SPECS directory (on Redhat, this is located at
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS, on other systems at /usr/src/packages/SPECS)
-4) Copy lyx-1.5.2.tar.gz to your SOURCES directory (located in the same
- path as SPECS, e.g. /usr/src/packages/SOURCES)
+4) Copy the tarball (lyx-2.x.y.tar.gz) to your SOURCES directory (located
+ in the same path as SPECS, e.g. /usr/src/packages/SOURCES).
5) Issue the command
6) Now install the package:
- rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-1.5.2-1.i386.rpm
+ rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-2.x.y-1.i386.rpm
-(again, adjust the path and filename if needed)
+(again, adjust the path and filename as needed)
If you get dependency errors about qt4 or tetex/texlive, then you need to
use the --nodeps option (because you installed qt4 or TeX not in
rpm form):
- rpm -Uvh --nodeps /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-1.5.2-1.i386.rpm
+ rpm -Uvh --nodeps /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lyx-2.x.y-1.i386.rpm
-(again, adjust the path and filename if needed)
+(again, adjust the path and filename as needed)
You should not get any more errors.
