Yes, I know. The native version of LyX does not understand symlinks and is happily trying to execute the /bin/python.exe symlink to the real python, which is /bin/python2.4.exe, as if it really was an executable file. You have two options: 1) Put the the python.bat script I paste at the end in the LyX\bin directory. 2) Use instead the cygwin version of LyX you can find here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/lyx-1.4.1-cygwin.tar.gz If you use MikTeX, then 1) is the best option. If you use the cygwin tetex, then you want option 2), as tetex is not currently supported by the native version of LyX (complain with the LyX developers for that). -- Enrico -----8<----python.bat----8<----- @echo off python2.4 %* exit -----8<------------------8<-----
