Please start LyX from a terminal, so you can have a look at what LyX is telling
you. Then start a ps-output and tell us what is printed to the terminal.

If you want it systematic, you may redefine the \clearemptydoublepage command.

Hi Holger!

I had a look at your files. I changed them a bit, and now they work on my
machine.

First: you should input the file with "Include file".
Second: In the xfig-text you have to write pure latex-code, i.e. $x_1$ for math
setting.

Please try to load the attached .lyx file and see if it works. Then try  to load
the attached .fig - file in xfig, export them new and try these files within
LyX .If LyX doesn´t display them at all, it could be that the problem is the
transfig-package. You used version 3.2-patchlevel 1. I had similar problems
with this version. My files now are created with 3.2-patchlevel 0 -beta 3, and
they work.

Give it a try and let me know what´s going on...

Greets,
Alex.

BibTex citations hanging lyx

1999-06-29 Thread Benjamin Korvemaker

 I'm trying to use bibtex citations in lyx -- and i've done it
 successfully in the past. But i've run into a few things...

 I thought lyx was supposed to automatically list the citations in the
 bibtex db i've got at the bottom of the file, but it doesn't do that.
 No biggy, i lived without that feature, although I swear it worked
 once for me.

 The one that's bothering me is that when I go to insert an entry, it
 hangs. the screen updates, but nothing happens, and i get no menu
 responses, etc.

 Other bibtex db's don't do this. And the hanging doesn't happen to all
 my lyx's (the Linux and IRIX ones do, the Solaris one doesn't).  And if
 I re-compile, and run lyx out of the src dir, it doesn't hang, but
 when I install it and use the installed one, it hangs.

 Anyone else ever see this?

Ugh.  Well, I've sort of solved my problem.  Is this a known bug? Is
there a patch I should apply?

Putting (or symlinking at least) the bib file into the current directory:
(a) allows it to be found and parsed for entries
(b) prevents lyx from hanging

Is LyX supposed to search through the directories specified by BIBINPUTS?
Or is that a flawed assumption on my part?

Hi Holger!

I had a look at your files. I changed them a bit, and now they work on my
machine.

First: you should input the file with "Include file".
Second: In the xfig-text you have to write pure latex-code, i.e. $x_1$ for math
setting.

Please try to load the attached .lyx file and see if it works. Then try  to load
the attached .fig - file in xfig, export them new and try these files within
LyX .If LyX doesn´t display them at all, it could be that the problem is the
transfig-package. You used version 3.2-patchlevel 1. I had similar problems
with this version. My files now are created with 3.2-patchlevel 0 -beta 3, and
they work.

Give it a try and let me know what´s going on...

Greets,
Alex.

BibTex citations hanging lyx

Ugh.  Well, I've sort of solved my problem.  Is this a known bug? Is
there a patch I should apply?

Putting (or symlinking at least) the bib file into the current directory:
(a) allows it to be found and parsed for entries
(b) prevents lyx from hanging

Is LyX supposed to search through the directories specified by BIBINPUTS?
Or is that a flawed assumption on my part?
