Lyx problems - of topic
Dear Debian user's
I could not compile the source for lyx 1.0.0pre6. There were some linking
problems which I could not figure out and a question to the lyx mailing
list did not produce an answer. After upgrading my lyx to 1.0.0pre6 with
an unofficial debian binary package I found two problems which may be
bugs. I have send questions to lyx@via.ecp.fr but got no reply. Maybe
someone on this list can help me:
1. I cannot in Afrikaans write Dagsê, goeiemôre etc. The X compose key
(Ctrl-Scroll Lock) does not work any more with Lyx and the compose key
(accent-tie) does not allow êûôâ.
I can put in the LateX code \^e \^o etc but that is slow to do it in Lyx.
If I have to do that, emac + Latex is much quicker.
2. The second problem is that it does no longer produce the Latex
equivalent of \maketitle in it's output although it shows on the
screen as it should. The following (first the lyx file and then the latex
output with some irrelevant lines removed):
newfile.lyx:

Re: Lyx problems - of topic
Dear Debian user's I could not compile the source for lyx 1.0.0pre6. There were some linking problems which I could not figure out you need libforms-dev and xpm4g-dev. Also, if you have previously had a debianized lyx, you need to use the --prefix=/usr/local or it gets confused trying to find things, and it helps while playing to use --program-suffux=.pre6 (or whatever) so that you can tell the binaries apart. and a question to the lyx mailing list did not produce an answer. After upgrading my lyx to 1.0.0pre6 with an unofficial debian binary package I found two problems which may be bugs. I have send questions to lyx@via.ecp.fr but got no reply. Maybe someone on this list can help me: that list is long gone. It's now lyx-users@lists.lyx.org and [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. I cannot in Afrikaans write Dagsê, goeiemôre etc. The X compose key (Ctrl-Scroll Lock) does not work any more with Lyx and the compose key (accent-tie) does not allow êûôâ. the options-latex has a setting to allow accents on all characters. Failing that, maybe something in ~/.lyx/lyxrc (i've never used anythign but english). 2. The second problem is that it does no longer produce the Latex equivalent of \maketitle in it's output although it shows on the screen as it should. The following (first the lyx file and then the latex output with some irrelevant lines removed): I don't know anything about this, but try .pre8 (tommorowish?). I think I saw something about this, and that it's fixed. I've also forwarded this to lyx-devel. --
