I've rebuilt again today, and it still appears utterly impossible to import a latex tabular.
I'm not sure how a latex file with a chart could get any simpler than this: simple.tex: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hi there \begin {tabular}{lrrrrrrrrrrrrrr} \\ 1. int & 4 & 9 & 14 \\ 2. Instructors & 0 & 0 & 3 \end{tabular} \end{document} latex handles this with no errors, but lyx says, "an error occurred wile runing the script" The console output in gdb is: There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...Deprecated bfd_read called at /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdb/../../../../contrib/gdb/gdb/dbxread.c line 2627 in elfstab_build_psymtabs Deprecated bfd_read called at /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdb/../../../../contrib/gdb/gdb/dbxread.c line 933 in fill_symbuf reLyX directory is: /usr/local/share/lyx/reLyX reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator.
