I have Lyx 1.5.6 installed on my MacBook (running Leopard). I've been
working on my PhD smoothly for a month now but today I have the
following error message when trying to convert my file to DVI/PDF/PS:
"conversion failed". I had this kind of error message two weeks ago and
found the problem: I used the superscript function on a letter. As soon
as I removed it, the conversion worked again. But today, I don't have
any clue about what is going wrong. I don't find any debug tool on Lyx.
Is there any? How to find the origin of the problem to solve it?
Hello Olivier,
you can try:
1) if Document -> Latex Log gives some helpful indication at the end
2) open View -> View Source before conversion. LyX might jump to or
highlight the offending part in the Source View
3) save your file under a different name and divide-and-conquer
(systematically cut out large chunks until it works, to localise the
problem).
Hope that helps. Please report back what was the cause.
