Find out where oolatex or oolatex.sh is installed and tell us the path. Obviously it is not in /usr/bin. > 2) Also "w2l" is missed even though its in my path > > checking for an OpenOffice.org -> LaTeX converter... > +checking for "w2l"... no > > a locate finds this here: > /home/rd/bin/w2l > /home/rd/usr/share/latex/conversion/writer2latex04/w2l > > how can this be fixed? Does your PATH variable contain /home/rd/bin/? If yes, it should be found. > 3) How can LyX be made to use latex2rtf to convert to rtf? Go to tools-Preferences and add a new format rtf and a converter latex->rtf. This is described in the extended manual IIRC. Or put this into your ~/.lyx/preferences: \format rtf rtf "Rich Text Format" "" "" "" \converter latex rtf "latex2rtf -o $$o $$i" "" You might need to tweak the commandline flags. And I am wondering why we don't serach for latex2rtf by default. Please tell if some flags are needed, we can then add this converter to LyX. Georg
