I am still hunting for the BIG ERROR. as a reminder, I can't get the pdf file of a large document.
I have gone in a texteditor through all the references in the bib file, and corrected any non-iso-8859-1 character. I have started to remove the offending references from the bibfile and collect it in another one which is not in the bibfile list of the references. Lyx still chokes on it, unless I stop lyx and restart it again. Now I even get in one case the same error of a reference which is not in the bibfile and after having restarted Lyx. It looks like there is some kind of memory, and I found lyxauto.Gw6002 in my /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3322 directory I renamed it into lyxauto.lyx and ran it. It shows a part of the first chapter of my document and trying to output the pdf it gives many insets/InsetBibtex.cpp(420): Couldn't find dbook11042008 in InsetBibtex::getBibFiles()! insets/InsetBibtex.cpp(420): Couldn't find dbook11042008 in InsetBibtex::getBibFiles()! insets/InsetBibtex.cpp(420): Couldn't find dbook11042008 in InsetBibtex::getBibFiles()! insets/InsetBibtex.cpp(420): Couldn't find dbook11042008 in InsetBibtex::getBibFiles()!..... I renamed this file and ran again my document. But I am still having difficulties (it chokes literally at all references in the last sections of the last chapter I am trying (13 of 20 chapters). #So my questions are: #what is the function of #lyxauto.Gw6002 in my #/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3322 directory? #Could there be some size limit for large documents with many references? Sorry for bothering you, but lyx used to be reliable even for large documents. Which reminds me to ask for the best way to run 1.5.6 or 7 parallel to 1.6.3. I liked the new features of the 1.6.X, especially the easy way to find references and notes in the text, but if it is not functioning properly its useless for my document. Wolfgang
