the xforms frontend, use --with-frontend=qt to build a Qt
version. You may have to set
- --with-qt-dir=<path-to-your-qt-installation> to succeed.

at the console. Both RH8 and Debian unstable distributions are known
to use fontconfig.
-If, however, your version of Qt does not use fontconfig, then the
-/usr/local/share/lyx/xfonts directory (or equivalent) should be added to
-the font path. This is done automatically by LyX if LyX is run on
-the local machine, and the X server supports Postscript fonts. If, however,
-you're running LyX remotely, then you'll have to do this step yourself.

* Other things to note
The two following programs should be available at configuration time:
- o Perl (at least 5.002) is needed for the reLyX script. reLyX will
- not be installed if perl is not found. If the environment
- variable PERL is set to point to some program, this value will be
- used, even if the program does no exist (this can be useful if
- the machine on which LyX is built is not the one where it will
- run).
-
o LaTeX2e should be correctly setup for the user you are logged in
as. Otherwise, LyX will not be able to run a number of tests. Note
that users can run these tests manually with Edit>Reconfigure.
-Finally, you will need to have python 1.5.2 or newer installed to be
-able to import older LyX files with the lyx2lyx script (this script is
-called automatically when opening a file).
