LyX cannot be compiled on Tru64 Unix 4.0d or 4.0e with the default cxx

cxx V6.2 will compile LyX out of the box.

At the time of writing, cxx V6.5-026 is the latest cxx compiler. It is

/not/ recommended. The compiler itself appears to be both buggy and

extremely bloated (trebling the size of the stripped LyX binary).

In order to compile LyX with the cxx compiler, you should run configure

CXX='cxx -std strict_ansi'

CXXFLAGS='-nopure_cname -nocleanup -ptr /tmp/lyx_cxx_repository -O2'

The -nopure_cname flag is needed for compilers V6.3 and above because

LyX makes use of functions like popen, pclose that are defined in the

c version of <stdio.h> but are not formally part of any c/c++ standard.

They are not, therefore, included in the <cstdio> header file.
