lyx-1.0.0.IRIX.tardist is an inst-able image for SGI IRIX. It was compiled mips3 on an IRIX 6.5 machine, so I've had to use a dummy file to stop the system complaining about unresolved symbols present only for 6.5, so it should work for IRIX 6.2+ (has been tested on IRIX 6.3 and up). To install: As root, inst -f go quit to install, after which it should run fine. It's dynamically linked so it runs on more systems, which means it requires both the Xpm & xforms library on your system. Xpm should be installed, and xforms can be obtained from: ftp://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/sgi/ You do not need the complete install - only the libforms.so, though you can use the complete install if you wish.
