Hi Paul,
I have just upgraded LyX to v 1.3.5 on a Windows XP machine. Works well except for the export function. I cannot even export latex. Can anyone suggest what I need to do?
I take "works well" to mean you can view documents in DVI form? If so, it sounds like a path or permission problem.
Correct.
Open a command window (in the LyX bin directory if it's not on your command path, or any directory if it is) and start LyX in debug mode:
lyx -dbg 262144 -userdir <path to your document directory>
Then open a document and try to export to LaTeX. (I'm assuming that the File->Export->LaTeX option exists and is not grayed out on the File menu.) What does the command window show in the way of debugging messages?
When I followed this prescription, the export function worked correctly.
So I shut down LyX and tried again by clicking on my file. Now the export fails. The pdf is produced I think (latex runs twice and there is a buffer export according to the commentary on the bottom left of the LyX window), but then vanishes into the ether.
I am beginning to suspect that there is a problem with a configuration file. Can I return to default settings somehow?
Is the Windows registry used?
Andrew
