LyX. It is imperative that you have the correct versions of these
libraries, and their associated header files.
-As of LyX version 1.1.5, you will need to have Xforms library and header
-version 0.88 or 0.89. Version 0.88 is a stable release and the
-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.

Xforms is available (free) only in binary format, source code is not
available. If it is not available for your machine, contact the Xforms
(or similar locations at other sunsites like sunsite.unc.edu)
You will also need a recent C++ compiler, where recent means that the
-compilers are close to C++ standard conforming. Compilers that are
-known to compile LyX are gcc 2.8.1 and 2.95.x, the various versions of
-egcs and Digital C++ version 6.1. Please tell us your experience with
-other compilers. It is _not_ possible to compile LyX with gcc 2.7.x,
-and this is not likely to change in the future.

Note that, contrary to LyX 1.0.x, LyX 1.1.x makes great use of C++
Standard Template Library (STL); this means that gcc users will have
to install the relevant libstdc++ library to be able to compile this
version.
-If you make modifications to files in src/ (for example by applying a
-patch), you will need to have the GNU gettext package installed, due to
-some dependencies in the makefiles. You can find the latest (alpha)
-version from:

LyX contains a hack to work around this, but you should not rely too
much on it.
