this is a pretty dumb newbie question, but here goes:
I wanted to get LyX set up, so I downloaded the latest version of libXpm
from an ftp site. Now, how do I install the file? (easily) I tried the
ftp installation, but it kept complaining about not being able to find
indexes, etc. (I have the 2.1.5 cds). What is the easiest way for me to
add this package? (xpm-3.4i.tgz)
thanks!
