lire-pdf and lire-html are empty packages which depends on the
requirements for that output format. Since you seem to be installing
Lire from source, you don't need to install these RPMS.

Did ./configure find jadetex? You should see something like:

checking for pdfjadetex... (cached) yes
checking for pdfjadetex... (cached) /usr/bin/pdfjadetex

in the output from ./configure. (The (cached) string may not be present.)

If ./configure found jadetex, Lire should find it at runtime.

In the surprising case where ./configure found jadetex, but Lire can't use it,
please run 

lr_run lr_environment|grep pdfjadetex_path=

to obtain the runtime value of the pdfjadetex_path configuration variable.

This should be the same than the one found by ./configure. If they differ, 
it means that another configuration file overrides the defaults one. Check in
the directories <prefix>/etc/lire/config and $HOME/.lire/config

Kind regards,

Francis J. Lacoste
