LyX uses the oolatex script to export to open document. On my Debian Lenny, tex4ht is in the path, but oolatex is in /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex, which is NOT on the path. Since Ubuntu is a Debian rip-off :-) it may be the same there. Fix with a symbolic link: ln -s /usr/local/bin/oolatex /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex Cheers, Alan > > Thanks for your concern, Nikos > >
