OK. Simple stupidity, I guess: I had the dvi converter defined as

Perhaps you are another victim of the way path_prefix is (not)
handled.
No. As it turns out, the dvi converter was defined as latex in my
preferences file, overriding the default. Once I took that out,
everything works.
Is this a change I should make to the default distribution?
The configure.py script should already pick up pplatex, but it seems
to fail when pplatex is in the path_prefix specified in preferences
(at least on Windows the path_prefix specified in lyxrc.dist seems
to work).
(And that it works automatically means I don't need to make any
changes.)
What implications does it have for reverse DVI search? Using pplatex
--src $$i doesn't seem to work: it fails silently, without producing
a .dvi file. Using \usepackage[active]{srcltx} in the preamble works,
but that requires more effort/knowledge from the user. Solutions?
Sorry, cannot help here. I can only say that pplatex should call
latex passing to it any specified argument.
Using "pplatex -src-specials $$i" as the LaTeX -> DVI converter
doesn't seem to work. Neither does "pplatex -src" or "pplatex --src".
What am I doing wrong?
