A colleague of mine finds that a manual we've built in LyX will
not display (in LyX) her PS and PDF images, when she looks at it
on her Mac OS X Macbook. I can see everything allright from my
Mac OS X desktop, and she can see the images via LyX on her Linux
desktop. On her macbook, when she converts to PDF, everything
shows OK. I went over her preferences and we can't see what might
be the trouble. Both of us have 1.4.3 installed. Anyone have a
suggestion?
We'd need more details in order to diagnose it. In fact, I'm
confused as to precisely what the problem is. Does the document
typeset, but the resulting .pdf file simply omit the images? Or
does typesetting fail?
Also, what does Console.app say when you try typesetting? Does the
LaTeX log (Documents > LaTeX Log) reveal anything?
As I tried to explain, the images just don't SHOW in the LyX
program screen, even tho "Show in LyX" is checked in the image
dialog box. Some images show in LyX, others (PS and PDF format) do
not. We get "Error converting to loadable format" but just on her
macbook.
As to "typesetting" if you mean does the PDF generate, yes, we do
not have trouble there at all. Images display, the PDF is fine.
Since that is no trouble I'm not sure examining the LaTeX log will
help. I looked in there, see lots of output, not sure what I'm
looking for.
Ah -- I misunderstood the problem. It sounds, then, like ImageMagick
is not installed on the MacBook, since that's what converts the
original graphics files to a form that can be displayed within LyX.
(If it is installed, then perhaps you need to do Tools > Reconfigure
from within LyX, and then restarting LyX; if that doesn't work, try
quitting LyX, moving aside your preferences file (in ~/Library/
Application Support/LyX-1.4) and restarting LyX.)
