I believe this is a bug in SuSE's Qt rpm, which Lyx uses. Could someone suggest a workaround? Thanks.
Hello, It's a shame (meaning that SuSE should have solved this at least since KDE 3.3.0 went out), but I had to compile myself the Qt library and use a very ugly hack to solve the problem. (Yes, I did use the SuSE feedback form to report the bug, and yes, I'm a owner of I don't know how many boxed SuSE distributions, so I feel entitled to rant a little bit...) What I did was: i) Download qt-copy-041116.tar.bz2 from the KDE project and uncompressed it to a directory under my home dir; ii) Looked at the qt source rpm to know wish were the dependencies necessary to compile Qt under SuSE 9.2 and installed the missing ones (to do this I installed qt3-3.3.3-xx.src.rpm and looked at the /usr/src/packages/SPECS/qt3.spec file); iii) Followed the instructions from: http://developer.kde.org/build/compile_kde3_3.html and from the INSTALL file to compile Qt. To run lyx and eric3 with accents I did a small script for each one of the applications: #!/bin/sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to the new qt lib>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/bin/lyx $* and put it on my ~/bin. My problem now is that this is an untested Qt version, so I suppose this might introduce some kind of instability, and it is not very nice to have duplicated libs, but so far so good... bye, Helder
