i'm installing lyx on a windows 98 pc. i used the port at
http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/. apparently this is more up to
date than claus' one. it doesent require you to install x as well which
is a bonus. is this a good port to be using?
the first problem i've had with this port is that i can't create pdfs
using pdflatex. i get "bad command or file name" even though the tex
bin/ folder is in the path. other converters like the dvi one work for
example.
second thing is that i cant get lyx to find the class files. i had this
problem on linux, and was told to rebuild the db. this solved the
problem. cant seem to do the same on widows tho. i tried using mixtex
update stuff and some other executables in the lyx directory but none of
them work. when i try edit->reconfigure from lyx, nothing seems to happen.
