I've not had this issue in the 25 years I've been writing LaTeX in LyX. When I try to compile it (using pdflatex) it segfaults with these details:
( 1) /usr/bin/lyx: /usr/bin/lyx() [0x981cd5] ( 2) /usr/bin/lyx: /usr/bin/lyx() [0x9f5032] ( 3) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QObject::event(QEvent*) ( 4) /usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4: QApplicationPrivate::notify_helper(QObject*, QEvent*) ( 5) /usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4: QApplication::notify(QObject*, QEvent*) ( 6) /usr/bin/lyx: /usr/bin/lyx() [0x997386] ( 7) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QCoreApplication::notifyInternal(QObject*, QEvent*) ( 8) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QCoreApplicationPrivate::sendPostedEvents(QObject*, int, QThreadData*) ( 9) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4(+0x1bef3e) [0x7fa06b936f3e] ( 10) /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0: /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_dispatch+0x287) [0x7fa06d548787] ( 11) /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0: /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x489b8) [0x7fa06d5489b8] ( 12) /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0: /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_iteration+0x2c) [0x7fa06d548a5c] ( 13) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QEventDispatcherGlib::processEvents(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>) ( 14) /usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4: /usr/lib64/libQtGui.so.4(+0x2a29e6) [0x7fa06bf149e6] ( 15) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QEventLoop::processEvents(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>) ( 16) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QEventLoop::exec(QFlags<QEventLoop::ProcessEventsFlag>) ( 17) /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so.4: QCoreApplication::exec() ( 18) /usr/bin/lyx: /usr/bin/lyx() [0x5f667d] ( 19) /usr/bin/lyx: /usr/bin/lyx() [0x469816] ( 20) /lib64/libc.so.6: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0) [0x7fa06a5d97d0] ( 21) /usr/bin/lyx: /usr/bin/lyx() [0x475e89] When I click the OK button it kills the LyX process and removes all open document tabs. This same document compiled just fine several months ago, but I need to modify it and hit this issue yesterday. Both yesterday and today other docs compile without causing a segfault. I'm totally stumped. I've no idea how to isolate the reason for this, especially since there are four new (last month) DIMMs in this host. Should I re-write the doc from scratch? Thoughts appreciated, Rich
