Re: configuration fails
OK, The solution has been to uninstall MikTex and Lyx with Administrator privileges and to reinstall them with standard user privileges !!! It is nonsense, but it finally works. === Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 === > Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2019 at 5:12 PM > From: "Kornel Benko" > To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > Subject: Re: configuration fails > > Am Donnerstag, 7.

Re: configuration fails
In my experience these configuration failures occur either when one of LyX and MikTeX (or TeXLive) has been installed as administrator and the other as ordinary user, or when one is installed under Windows and the other under another OS. Since Cygwin acts in some ways as an OS, in particular in its use of Unix-type file paths, this may indeed be the cause of your problems. However, for using LyX, there is no need to install Cywgin. The normal Windows LyX with Windows MikTeX or TeXLive is sufficient. You do not need to uninstall Cygwin, just install either Windows LyX with Windows MikTeX or TeXLive, or Cygwin LyX with Cywgin TeXLive.

Hello, I also tried to run configure.py manually (see the attached configure.log generated). Then I copied this file into the home directory, and loaded lyx.
