I got it fix by adding a symbolic link of the libc.so.5.1.12 to
/lib/libc.so.5.

But now I have a new problem. After I execute lyx, a dialog comes out
and ask to create a personal directory to keep the configuration. I click
on yes, and then a alert comes out says "Error: Could not change to
directory
/root/.lyx/ Success" and I click on dismiss. Then the following appear on
the shell:

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!
Bye.
Aborted (core dumped)
[root@mybox /root]# 

If I try to execute lyx again, I will get the error message:

[root@mybox lyx-1.0.2]# lyx 
Failed to share colors. Using private colormap
LyXTextClassList::Read: unable to find textclass file  `~/'.
Exiting.

any advice?

Window bug

1999-05-25 Thread Alexander Stasinski

Perhaps this is already well known:

In LyX 1.0.3pre4 the preamble window behaves strangely if you enlarge it
and you have so much text in it so the scroll bars are present.
If you enlarge the window horizontally, the scroll bar on the right-hand
side goes really freaky.
If you enlarge it vertically, the bottom scroll bar behaves strangely,
and if you enlarge it so that it reaches over to another screen, and
then decrease it back to the first screen, LyX seems to crash and quit.
The same happens if you decrease the window sufficiently much
horizontally.

Bug in LyX

1999-05-25 Thread Ralf Schreg

LyX seems to forget a character on exporting as LaTeX:

a paragraph with above (or below) keeping vertical spaces is exported as

\vspace*{big...}
instead of
\vspace*{\big...}

This seems to happen on all \vspace* - commands.

(Tested with LyX 1.0.1pre... and LyX 1.0.2)

Document class

1999-05-25 Thread Jacques Germishuizen

Hallo

I'm writing my thesis and use lyx.  The document class that I use is book.
The specifications for my thesis is that only one side of the page is
printed.  With the book class the even page numbers are on the left of the
page and the text is also a bit more to the left and not in the center.
The odd page numbers are on the right side and the text are also more to
the right and not in the center.  Another thing is that between each
chapter there is a blan page.

What I'd like is that all the text on all the pages must be in the middle
op the pages as well as the page numbers.  And I also want to get rid of
all the blank pages between chapters.

TIA

I do not know what to say here. We have had reports of crashes in
xforms when pasting some times ago, but we could not reproduce/fix
them at the time. I guess it is a bug in xforms. If you still have the
xforms distribution, it would be interesting to try it out with one of
the demos there, for example minput.c (just do "make minput" in the
DEMOS directory, and then "./minput").

I don´t want to change the block align in every paragraph with menu

You should chack that all the fonts described in  your dont path

describe fonts that you do not have available. If you want to see what
LyX is doing, you can try to use the debug flag "-dbg 515".

Hello,

Most of the parameters in .layout files do not change the LaTeX
output, but only describe to LyX what LaTeX does. That's why your

This could indeed be useful, but I do not think it could be included
just like that. If someone comes up with a cleaner version of that (I
do not think one needs to import the whole ams* thing, only a
stdthm.inc), I'd be willing to add it. Otherwise, you'll have to wait
until I find time to do it.

The reason why I want to be careful is that, if we add this feature,
we have to commit to supporting it later. That's why I want to be very
careful...

LinuxPPC Dev. Rel 1.0/LyX 1.0.2 problem

1999-05-25 Thread Albrecht Dreß

Hi!

After running fix961212 on the forms library I was able to compile and install
LyX 1.0.2 on my LinuxPPC 1.0 system (linux 2.2.6, glibc2), but I have a strange
problem which might actually be a C library related (therefore posting two both
lists).

The problem is that LyX does not re-make a tex file after changes.  I added some
debug output and could see that (in the Dep stuff) LyX tries to get the
checksums of the file /home/albrecht/test.tex (if the lyx file is
/home/albrecht/test.lyx) and NOT in the directory /tmp//test.tex
(where this file actually exists).  As fopen failes, the checksum is always 0. 
This does NOT happen on my Intel/Linux box...  I did not want to dig deeper into
the code, but I think I should add that the call to GetCWD always returns an
empty string.

As a quick solution, I disabled the tmp stuff in lyxrc, but I would like to fix
this problem.

Thanks for any help, Albrecht.

standard environment ...

1999-05-25 Thread Sven Gustke

Hi there,

I need a redefinition of the Standard- layout in article.layout
(stdclass.inc).


# Standard style definition
Style Standard
  MarginStatic
  LatexType Paragraph
  LatexName dummy
  ParIndent MM
  ParSkip   0.4
  Align Block
  AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center
  LabelType No_Label
End

I want left alignment in Standard Style, so I set  Align to Left but no
effect. The Standard Style is after the reconfigure in Menu Layout
Paragraph Left, also the LyX-Window displays left alignment but in the
print and the dvi there is block alignment.
So what can I do?

Bye Sven
