Hello to you all -- This is my first message to the list. I have the 64bit version of Lyx 1.6.4 running on 64bit SUSE 11.1 together with Texlive.
Lyx would not convert to pdf until I installed kdegraphics3-pdf and kdegraphics3-postscript. Without those packages, it seems the 64bit installation does not have a version of kpdf (information off the web). Fine, I can now view as pdf and print that. I can also view as dvi; but that's as far as it goes. I cannot view as postscript. I get a window with an error message: An error occurred whilst running dvips -t a4 -o 'newfile1.ps' 'newfile1.dvi'. In the terminal window, I get the same error message followed by: This is dvips(k) 5.98 Copyright 2009 Radical Eye Software ( www.radicaleye.com) dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tex.pro Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. Error: Cannot convert file. I searched for tex.pro and found it (and also texps.pro) in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/base/ and also in /usr/lib/texmf/divips/base/ These files belong to root and I wondered if permissions were a problem, but I get the same response if I run Lyx as root. I don't know whether there is something missing in the 64bit version of Lyx 1.6.4 or what. I am not familiar with Lyx. Can anyone help please? George L
