I've tried my home windows PC (1.6.5) and my office linux pc (1.6.0) with the same results I cannot import Latex code into Lyx using tex2lyx or using File-Import-Latex (plain). Both give me problems. I've tried known working latex code on the Internet but that doesn't work either, so I don't think I have a bad input on my end.
Within Lyx, the version shows up as 1.6.0 while from synaptic package manager the installation is package 1.6.4-1ubuntu1. The version information on windows says 1.6.5 The error message from lyx is: "An error occurred whilst running tex2lyx -f 'Latex_Output_for_Housing_Class_1.tex' The error from the command line (tex2lyx -f Latex_Output_for_Housing_Class_1.tex tmp.lyx ) is more elaborate but no more helpful to me: 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/lyx/scripts/layout2layout.py", line 15, in <module> import os, re, string, sys File "/usr/lib/python2.6/os.py", line 49, in <module> import posixpath as path File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 16, in <module> import warnings File "/usr/lib/python2.6/warnings.py", line 6, in <module> import linecache ImportError: No module named linecache Could not run layout conversion script layout2layout.py. We failed to find the layout '' in the layout list. You MUST investigate! Segmentation fault Attached are the two tex files I used as inputs. Any advice on how to fix this problem or work around it? Thanks for the help. Benjamin Kay
