I have been trying to get Lyx installed on a Windows 95 (OSR2.1) computer
using fptex. Many of th features are now working but the two most
important feature will not work.
First, I am using the port form Prof. Dr. Claus Hentschel lyx page. I have
114fix1 installed. I also tried 114fix2 with no change. I have Active
perl installed Version 5.6.0 build 613 at /usr/local/perl/bin/. I am
using ispell, cygwin port.
Now the problems
First, when reLyX is invoked I get the following error
Unrecognized escape \d passed through at ../share/lyx/reLyX/reLyXmain.pl
line 85
.
reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/09/27
Cannot chdir to //C/apps/lyx114/share/lyx/relyx/:No such file or directory
at ..
/share/lyx/reLyX/reLyXmain.pl line 351.
Compilation failed in require at ./reLyX line 52.
Exited due to fatal Error!
I have no clue. Any guesses?
Second, Ispell is giving me fits. Please don't suggest aspell. No matter
what I do lyx will only run ispell. I set the path, changed lyxrc and
changed lyxrc.defaults. Only ispell runs. However, when ispell runs I
get:
Hash table options don't agree with buildhash - 0x2/100/10 vs. 0x6/100/10
Ispell read timed out, what now?
I have rebuilt the hashs three times. Ispell is installed at
/usr/local/bin/
The hashs are at /usr/local/lib/ . This is in agreement with the
information found in
ispell-vv | more. Where is the error?
I need to get one of these features working. If I can get relyx to work I
can us 4spell to check the spelling.
The only idea I had was that Ispell/Cygwin does not like Cyrix processors
but why does lyx/cygwin work?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sheldon
