I am quite suprprised that it doesn't seem to work with the cygwin tetex. I also have MikTeX so I didn't noticed it. However, in Tools->preferences you will find an extra tab Outputs->Paths which is not present in a non-cygwin build. Try unchecking "Use Cygwin-style paths" and see what happens. I think that LyX is doing strange things as checking it seems to produce non-cygwin-style paths while unchecking it, the paths seem to be in cygwin-style. The logic seems to be reversed and it is really confusing. >>> I used mount -f C: /c (not mount -f C: /cygdrive/c ?) as advised. >> >>> My favorite test file, sample.lyx, does convert eps and jpeg, >> >> I think that you have a working copy of LyX.

I can do both with both a mingw and cygwin build, so it must be something with your configuration. > I did see why Georg thought this was a .bb error, but I copied > the *.bb to the /c/cygwin/tmp directory after renaming the original > .bb files to the ones Cygwin was complaining about not finding. > That doesn't work. So this seems to be a LyX140 problem. Sorry, I don't follow you here. -- Enrico
