This will get me into trouble because I use only the kpathsea hashfile
to get styles, so I never use explicit TEX or BIB or whatever INPUTS.

Multicolumn figures

[Jacques Germishuizen]

Hello

I want to display two figures next to each other on the same page.
Therefore I inserted a table with two columns and one row.  The difficulty
I have is to place text underneath the figure.  Each time the text is next
to the picture and not below the picture.  

I also could'nt insert a figure float in the table cell because Lyx does
not allow it.  I would like to do that so that the figure has a number
for cross reference. 

I would appreciate help

Thanks

I added this line to my /etc/profile (and to my /etc/csh.cshrc for tcsh
users) and the problem seems to be solved.  Well, not quite, individual
users had to delete their personal copies of textclass.lst so that LyX

A suggestion to the developers: maybe the /usr/share/lyx/configure
script could check and report the TEXINPUTS base search path.  Better
yet, the script should stop and report an error message if this variable
is found to be empty/unset.

Thanks,
Dan

P.S. I still don't know exactly why this environment variable was unset
by the upgrade to RedHat 6.0, but I think one of the packages had moved
my original /etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc to "rpmsave" files and
installed plain vanilla ones in their places.  I'm guessing that these
standard files probably had TEXINPUTS entries in them, which were erased
when I moved my custom files back from rpmsave.

Thank you for you guys' pointers to pdflatex and pstill program. I am

But if I comment out the line in the tex file

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Then the pdflatex would not complain.

2) pstill

Again, if I use unmodified tex file generated by LyX, pstill needs a long
time to convert the resulted ps file even I use 

dvips -Pcmz -Pamz thesis.dvi

to generate the ps file.

The result is much improved with "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" commented out.

Can anyone comment on these results and how can I diable the output of
"\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" line in the tex file exported by LyX?

Thanks.

Re: LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System

[Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan]

You might want to set your TEXINPUTS to something like this:

export TEXINPUTS=.:/home/your_home_dir/src/tex/sty:/usr/share/texmf/tex//

The "//" tells the suite of TeX and dvips programs to search all
subdirectories for the style files.

This still feels like a configuration problem. I don't know what else
to suggest.

Re: Small glitch in View dvi?

[Mario Parra]

I look at the code for DepTable.C in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and the 1.0.1
version never calls MakeAbsPath. Furthermore, in the 1.0.2 version,
every time MakeAbsPath is called, there is a comment that says:

 // not quite sure if this is the correct place for MakeAbsPath

Otherwise the files are identical. So I simply replaced version 1.0.2
with version 1.0.1 and things seem to work fine. The foo.tex.dep
file has the correct name and update dvi works ok.

There was no TEXINPUTS environment variable set when I started, but now
I have located many style and class files that came with the
teTeX-0.9-17 rpm set.  Here is my TEXINPUTS now:

TEXINPUTS=/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/amslatex:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/dinbrief:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/foiltex:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/g-brief:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/komascr:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ntgclass:/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/seminar

>

I tried the simple LaTeX file you sent me with TEXINPUTS set as above,
and it worked fine, I was even able to view the resulting dvi.  What
mechanism is supposed to set the style and class search path when
LaTeX/teTeX are installed?

> 
> That may be the problem, I don't know.

I have some different symptoms to report.  Just to have a new beginning,
I uninstalled teTeX and LyX, then reinstalled them with the TEXINPUTS
variable set as above.  Here is what now happens when I run
/usr/share/lyx/configure:


root[227] ./configure

That part about latex and latex2e being not usable worries me,
especially since latex still works on the sample file you sent me.  Why
is the configure script complaining?

The resulting textclass.lst looks like this:


# This file declares layouts and their associated definition files
# (include dir. relative to the place where this file is).
# It contains only default values, since chkconfig.ltx could not be run 
# for some reason. Run ./configure if you need to update it after a
# configuration change.

I tried reading chkconfig.ltx but I don't know anything about the

Anyway, LyX still refuses to start, complaining about textclass.lst as
always.

thats ok! 
the .dep file points to my home-directory /home/voss , but the
text is from /home/voss/texte/.../
when I change the .dep file to the /tmp/...(just like Jean-Pierre)
everything works well!

I don't really know if it's OS dependant or not. I and several people
from the LyX team don't see the problem and we're still trying to
figure out why it happens.

Mario> Anyway, if \use_tmpdir is false, how come it is still using /tmp?

It shouldn't be. Did you quit and restart lyx.

Putting the line "\use_tempdir false" in your ~/.lyx/lyxrc should make
lyx stop using temp directories (putting all intermediate files where
the main lyx file is).

You should also mention the 'hyperref' package which lets you use all
hypertext features of pdf, hypertextualize table of contents and index by
default, and customize the behavior of your resulting document in Acrobat
reader (including default view and entries in the document info). 

Since using most of these features boils down to few lines in the preamble,
hyperref is nicely usable in LyX, too. (In my experience, pdflatex is the way
to go if you use hyperref.)

Does anyone know if and where there's a Debian package of LyX 1.0.2? I guess
that Paul Seelig, who previously built inofficial LyX-debs, is too busy

One other idea:

Is your TEXINPUTS (or whatever is used when that is not set)
configured correctly for the system?

Can you actually use LaTeX outside of LyX?

One thing those of you seeing the glitch can do for me is to edit
DepTable.C and enable some commented lines:

in DepTable::update()
DepTable::read(LString const &f)
DepTable::write(FILE * f)

compile and run LyX with -dbg 129

I discovered this new thread only an hour ago, I almost went home. But
I've downloaded PStill (Linux version) and: it is amazing!

Sizes:
PS (the same test file):  53350938
PDF (ps2pdf):233174225
PDF (PStill):  3290055

And no, these numbers are no mistake! I printed 5 test pages with each
gsview and Acrobat Reader: quality of PStill output is better.

It sure is worth it's 20 bucks worth!

I had this setup before with LyX 1.0.0, and it worked, but RedHat 6.0
comes with tetex-0.9-17, I wonder what the difference is.

What's in tetex-xtexsh?  Are there any .sty files in there?

I modified Mate's spec file to install with a prefix of /usr as well, so
that is probably not it.

I tried this, but it doesn't show the pathnames of the .sty/.cls names
it is looking for.

What system are you running?

Even when I am running with ``\use_tempdir false'', the foo.tex.dep
file contains the right information:

/tmp/lyx_tmp10450aaa/lyx_bufrtmp10450aaa/foo.tex 2303679553 2303679553

My only other thought is that somehow MakeAbsPath() is returning the
wrong thing for inclusion into the DepTable

Re: Small glitch in View dvi?

[Mario Parra]

Somehow the dependency files are not being set properly.
This is why I think this is so.

If I set use_tmpdir true then lyx creates a directory under /tmp where it stores
temporary
files. Over there, there is a file called nameofdocumet.tex.dep that holds the
names of the
latex files used to create the dvi. But that file points to the wrong place! It
always has the
path that points to the installation directory.

To demontrate this, turn use_tmpdir to false, then create a lyx file but make sure
you
put it in the installation directory. Now the dependencies point to the right
place and
update dvi works fine (this is probably why it works for some of you, just move
the file
outside the installation directory and it should stop working.

View dvi/Update dvi commands does not update files

[Salvador Olmos]

I have been using LyX for two years and I consider it as the best way to
write documents.

I have just updated the new version 1.0.2 without any problems, but
I noticed that when I make some changes in the text and I want to view
the dvi file I use the option Update dvi or View dvi, but I noticed that

the new changes have not been updated in the dvi file.
Is it a bug of the new version?
In the last versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 this option was OK.

Thanks to the LyX team for his job

You put \use_tempdir into your ~/.lyx/lyxrc:

\use_tempdir false

Do you have gdb installed? If so, maybe you can step through the code
and see if if the problem is happening in the DepTable code?

tabular in tabular

Hello

In lyx-lyx-1.0.1, I tried to insert a tabular into a tabular, however
lyx explicity complained about it.

It is planned to include this feature in the near future??

How do you set \use_tmpdir? I tried putting it in the preamble but latex
won't
take it.
I tried both on dirs mounted over nfs and on dirs  not monted over nfs and
the
problem is still there.

Here is some data on my system
OS: Sparc 10 running solaris 2.6.
tex: version  3.14159
I have 1.0.1 still installed, but if I install 1.0.2 on top, the error
persists.

It seems much better to me. Perhaps it's because I use pslatex, so the
fonts remain scalable (at least, they look pretty scalable and
anti-aliased in gv).

My experience of pdflatex (admittedly a while ago, and it was early days
then) was that it produced much larger files than dvips+ps2pdf, but then I
wasn't using graphics.

I agree that a better way is needed, and that for the moment the optimum
solution seems to be Distiller (for quality, and it should be given that
Adobe make it).

there are the same messages on my system as in Marios mail.

2. Linux 2.0.36 (i686) "
3. Linux 2.2.5  (i686) "

from my point of view it must be an error of the variable
which stores the change-mode of an file. The behaviour of
1.0.2 is just like the 1.0.1 when you don't change anything
and update dvi-viewing. I don't know, why this should be an
error of a specific system. On the other hand, when it works
well at Lars, it's not a real error in programming code.

so the only thing I can say after 25 years in programming
is: the time for fixing an error is reverse to its degree
of difficulty... ;-))

You didn't mention Frank Siegert's PStill, which provides most of the
capabilities of Distiller, including flate compression and Type1 font
support.  It's available as inexpensive shareware for a wide range of
platforms, and the Linux version is FREE for private and educational
purposes.

LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System

I'm running LyX on a Redhat 5.2 system with tetex-0.9-6, and I don't
have any problem, so it's not that.

Do you have both tetex-0.9-6 and tetex-latex-0.9-6 installed? You need
both.

I have the following TeX related packages installed: 

tetex-xdvi-0.9-6 tetex-xtexsh-0.3.3-8 tetex-dvilj-0.9-6
tetex-afm-0.9-6 tetex-dvips-0.9-6 tetex-0.9-6 tetex-latex-0.9-6

One other thing: I'm not running with Mate's RPM. My RPM, based on one
I found in contrib.redhat.com a while back, puts LyX in /usr/share/lyx
(instead of /usr/local/share/lyx). Could that be your problem?

You should try running the LyX configure script with ``sh -xv'' to see
what it's looking for and where it is looking for it.

I include my spec file (which you'll need to modify, it's set up for
1.0.3pre1 right now) for you to try.

LyX to PDF (was: Why are EPS files so big?)

[Ralf Plaenkers]

Some experience with LyX (LaTeX) and PDF:

   * Ghostscript's ps2pdf creates huge files due to the
 non-compression of bitmap images. Also, the file is ugly
 to view on-screen because the Type-1 (vector) fonts are
 sampled to Type-3 (bitmap) fonts. PDF readers can't use
 anti-aliasing in this case and printers can only print in
 the maximum resolution that was given by dvips.
 (lyx->latex->dvips->ps2pdf)
   * Adobe Acrobat Distiller gives very good results. Fonts
 remain scalable and are easy to read on-screen. Bitmap
 images get compressed via zip or jpeg. The only
 inconvience is that it's not free and that it's not
 available for Unix. If you are doing business or need good
 PDF quality for other reasons then you're best with paying
 the licence. It's worth it for me.
 (lyx->latex->dvips->distiller)
   * pdf(la)tex is an alternativ to the tex compiler that
 generates directly pdf files instead of dvi. I haven't
 used it intensively but it promises to be fantastic. Fonts
 are in perfect shape, scalable and readable and you don't
 need to generate huge eps files from your png or jpeg
 images, they can be used directly without loss of quality
 or disk space. An inconvience is that eps vector graphics
 can't be read, they have to be converted to pdf manually.
 I had problems with this. But this may be due to the
 university-wide TeX installation. A direct import of fig
 figures would be fantastic. Another inconvience is that
 lyx has no support for pdftex, i.e. you need to deal
 yourself with the inclusion of png, jpg and pdf images.
 (Developers: hint, hint...)
 (lyx->pdflatex)

Hope this little overview helped a bit to get even more confused and
continue discussing this important issue in order to find a better
solution and end all wars.

Upgrade to 1.0.x. Unfortunately this doesn't solve your problems. But it's much

Go to the first cell and click with the right mouse button (or choose
Layout/table...). Why is linebreak activated? Deactivate it! Then the text in
the other columns is justified at the top of the cell.
(Fuer die erste Zelle ist seltsamerweise die Option "Zeilenumbrueche"
aktiviert. Wenn du die ausschaltest ist der Text in den anderen Spalten, wie
gewuenscht oben ausgerichtet.)

I have no idea. Perhaps this is the default behavior of Latex.
(Keine Ahnung! Wahrscheinlich ist das das standardmaessige Verhalten von Latex
bei mehrzeiligem Zelleninhalt.)

> Und wie

Unfortunately I don't know how to change it. Maybe it's possible to make the
text left-justified by defining a special column-format in Layout/Table/Extra.
(Ich habe leider nicht genug Ahnung von Latex. Vielleicht kannst du durch einen
entsprechenden Eintrag in Layout/Tabelle/Extra/Besonderes Spaltenformat etwas
daran aendern. Am besten siehst du mal in einem Latex-Buch nach.)

LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System

[Daniel Lyddy]

Hi All,

I just upgraded my RedHat Linux system from 5.2 to 6.0.  I've also just
upgraded my version of LyX from version 1.0.0 to 1.0.2, built from Mate
Wierdl's source RPMs.  Now, I'm having a problem getting LyX to even
start, it keeps crashing with an error message complaining about my
"textclass.lst" file.  I logged in as root, cd'd to ../share/lyx, and
ran the configure script there again, and I noticed that almost all of
the .sty and .cls that configure checks for are missing (i.e the answer
is almost always "no").  The resulting "textclass.lst" file ends up
being empty, except for a few comment lines.  Are there some standard
sty and cls files that are supposed to come with LaTeX but were left out
by RedHat when they packaged up teTeX-0.9 with their Linux distribution?

Just as a (non) data point: I am on an Redhat Linux 5.2 system with

Running with \use_tempdir true or false makes no difference. It still

A slighlty faster way than what has been explained is to enter the
sub/superscript *only* in math mode. Like that you don't have to switch
back into text mode inside the math mode. For example, to type square
meters:

m Ctrl-m ^2 space space 

("space space" is only to exit from math mode quickly)

Well, that's my point, I don't get anything in the entry field in the

my config' is all right, since if I put an entry in the insert citation
