In figinset.C there seems to be a problem with execlp if one uses ghostscript 6.51 + The gs process starts but never exits. Why I don't know. One can go into /proc and see the commandline arguments, but this doesn't explain where it hangs. If you're curious I could try to strace gs. But for now I'll just report the workaround. If using ghostscript 5.50 it always works fine. On my system lyx 1.1.6-fix3 works with Ghostscript 6.51 when setting \ps_command to "/usr/bin/gs " in lyxrc.defaults or equivalent It's the first argument to execlp which must end with a space (works also when setting the first string to " ") Morten Ps: the xhost trick didn't do it for me and I'm not on the lyx list. -- - The Penguin's 1.
