So it sounds as if there's a problem there on your system. My sytems might as well be broken; as they are both Slackware (11 and 10 ;-). In both cases trying to make a dvi whenever the file contains a Tex import freezes Lyx, although the dvi might get done in some case. man sh (bash in fact) says -c string If the -c option is present, then commands are read from string. If there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0. As far as I know, $0 is the name of the program itself (more accurately the name the program knows itself by). According to that, typing sh -c latex file.tex can only result in a mess. Conversely, sh -c "latex file.tex" runs, as the command is search inside the string itself. On a Mandriva, sh behaves the same way : sh -c "find -name toto" runs a quite different way from this sh -c "find -name toto" So what about me posting this on the developper list ?
