Still problem with umlaut in math mode
The attached file was written with LC_ALL=de_DE and contains a german umlaut inside math mode. It works nicely. However, once I chnage my locale to us_US the unlaut disappeares. Not only is it left out on the screen but also when I save the document. Note this behaviour was added in one of the 1.0.4pre releases. Prior to these releases it was even more broken.

Installation problems with lyx-1.1.2
This probably is not really new to you, but I wanted to report it just in case. So please take my apologies if this is old stuff. I'm been experiencing problems with 1.1.2 in that it does not find its system_lyxdir. The binary is installed under /usr/X11R6/bin and the system_lyxdir should be /usr/X11R6/share/lyx. However, since the shell addresses the binary as /usr/bin/X11/lyx this directory is not found. I tracked this problem down the code in LyX::init /arounf line 240 in lyx_main.C) where the fullbinpath is checked for a link. However, lyx itself is not a link, so the test does nothing. I tried using binpath instead but that won't work on my glibc-2.1.2 Linux machine since the path ends with '/' and thus the real directory is checked via stat(). After removing the last '/' it should work. But this looks too much like a hack since I don't know the remaining code enough. I decided to hard code the system_lyxdir for the moment and let you guys fix the problem correctly. Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

Bug in X not LyX
A while ago I forwarded the following Debian bug report to this list: First the french keymap is installed (cf the French-HOWTO). Then on a french keyboard : if LC_ALL=fr_FR then pressing the key 2é~ in UPPERCASE mode has no effect in LyX. if LC_ALL=fr then pressing the key 2é~ in UPPERCASE mode produce the correct result : an uppercase E with accent grave. I tracked this bug down to the call to XLookupString. In both cases the parameters to XLookupString are the same (except for some serial and the display) but the result is complete different. So I guess this is an X bug. Michael -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers! Th.-Heuss-Str. 61, D-41812 Erkelenz| Go Rhein Fire! Tel.: (+49) 2431/72651 | Use Debian GNU/Linux!

And another question
I just saw the compile time define HAVE_XOPENIM. It seems there is no way to activate it. But the way I read the source (lyxlookup.C) it should be activated for all X11 releases starting with R5. Since I use R6 I activated it by hand just to learn the source doesn't even compile. So what is that code snippet all about? Michael P.S.: Please CC me on replies. -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

I see. But I did a grep HAVE_XOPENIM over the complete source tree and
didn't find anything except in lyxlookup.C.
Ah, should have thought about this earlier. I just greped for only XOpenIM
and founf it in configure. And config.cache correctly lists
ac_cv_func_XOpenIM=${ac_cv_func_XOpenIM=yes}
However, there is no other appearance on the complete source tree. That
means HAVE_XOPENIM is not defined in any of the Makefiles.

X11R6 version 3.3.5 on a fairly up-to-date Debian Gnu/Linux system running
glibc-2.1.2.
Hope this helps.

No and that's the problem:
michael@tanja:~/lyx-1.1.2$ grep -i openim config.cache src/config.h
config.cache:ac_cv_func_XOpenIM=${ac_cv_func_XOpenIM=yes}

At least it is available and the test correctly find it.

Jean-Marc, it does not segfault if the \eta command is incorrect. Then it
just says 'There was an error.'

However, I do not have any idea why you ask for athena widgets. I don't think they are the problem. Anyway, here's what I tested: cooledit- bug present (uses Cool widget library) xpaint - bug not present (is not localized at all, i.e. I get english menues etc.) gedit - bug not present (does not call setlocale either, but is partly localized using GNOME functionality) xfig- bug not present (menues are still in english but does call setlocale) Also I tracked down the problem inside LyX and found that the event structure in both cases (with bugyy fr_FR setting and with working fr setting) contains the same date except for some serials.

Bug in 1.1.4
I have a file that has an umlaut in its name. When I try to view DVI it doesn't find the dvi-file because it no longer has that umlaut but a '|' in its name. Interestingly when viewing PS the command line has the correct name with .PS ending but the incorrect one with .dvi ending. Michael -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!

Subject: Bug#65081: lyx: problems with importing multipart latex with include command
Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 02:09:00 +0200 (CEST)
From: Tomasz Motylewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: lyx
Version: 1.1.4-7
Severity: normal
This mail contains recipe to reproduce certain bugs in Lyx,
both in 1.1.4fix3 and 1.1.5pre3. Text in "" is lyx messages, <>
user input.
First, get all 3 files from: ftp://crds.chemie.unibas.ch/pub/lyxbug/
The only important part is (d0.tex):
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\include{d2}
\clearpage
\include{d3}
\end{document}
Start lyx, Import d0.tex
"reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 2000/03/29"
"Reading LaTeX command syntax
(d0.tex: Splitting Preamble
Creating LyX preamble
Reading layout file
Cleaning... Translating... Writing... )
(d2.tex: Cleaning... Translating... Writing... )
(d3.tex: Cleaning... Translating... Writing... )
Deleting temp files
Finished successfully!"
BUG1:
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d1.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
"Changes in document ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx Save document?"
USER STUPIDITY1:
BUG2:
Result: No document open.
Click in menu File: d0.lyx
"Do you want to reload?"
The opened document looks empty.
ALTERNATIVE (NEXT TRY, delete d?.lyx, restart LYX):
Import d0.tex
"reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator []"
BUG1:
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
"Changes in document ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx Save document?"
BUG2:
Result: No document open.
Choose menu File: d0.lyx
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
This time it looks OK, contains two Include: d2 and Include: d3 boxes.
Doubleclick on Include: d2 box.
Include window opens with "use input" marked (BUG3 - should be probably "Use include").
BUG4:
"File name: d2" (should be d2.lyx)
click on
"Cannot open specified file ~/dok/patrick/d2. Create new document with this name?"
BUG4: the name shown in the Include window should have .lyx extension. It looks like
reLyX bug.
Generated Lyx code is:
\begin_inset Include \include{d2}
it should be:
\begin_inset Include \include{d2.lyx}
I enter d2.lyx in "Include" window "File name:" and press
I see d2 contents (chapter 1 etc...)
I choose menu File: d0.lyx to return to prev. document.
"Document is already open ~/dok/patrick/d0.lyx
Do you want to reload the document?"
BUG5:
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs'
under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report. Thanks!

I found some spare time today and decided to dig through the Debian bug
archive and check which bugs reported on LyX are still present in version
1.0.0. I hope you don't mind me sending reports resp. patches for what I
find.

support for pdflatex
I just got this wishlist bug from a Debian user: - Forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - It would be nice if LyX would support pdfLaTeX. What I would like to see is an export as PDF option that will work this way: 1. For each EPS figure, check if there is corresponding a file in one of the formats supported by pdfTeX: PDF, JPEG (*.jpg), PNG or MetaPost output (*.mps). If none available, convert the EPS figure to PDF using the epstopdf script from tetex distribution. 2. Export LaTeX file, with the extension of the figures changed from eps to pdf (or mps/jpg/png if available in in step #1). 3. Run pdflatex to produce the PDF output. I'm doing this manually right now and it works great. But it would be much nicer to do all this automatically from withing LyX. - End forwarded message - Comments anyone?

Seg fault when starting 1.0.3
I thought we already got rid of that bug, but apparently it is still there. When starting LyX on the console or on an X server where you have no right to connect or when no DISPLAY variable is set it just seg faults in fl_initialize. Some time ago I patched LyX to check if DISPLAY is set prior to calling fl_initialize but this patch doesn't seem to have made it into the source code. Or do I miss something here?
