Requirements
LyX. It is imperative that you have the correct versions of these
libraries, and their associated header files.

recommended version. On some systems, such as linux ELF, there are shared
library versions of the Xforms library, which require an installation step
to configure the system.

developers to request a version for your system. You can get it from

You will also need a recent C++ compiler, where recent means that the

-compilers. It is probably _not_ possible to compile LyX with gcc

Standard Template Library (STL); this means that gcc users will have
o --with-extra-prefix[=DIRECTORY] that is equivalent to

BTW: in the images subdirectory there is also a small icon "lyx.xpm",
that can be used to display lyx-documents in filemanagers.
