Gerhard Among German historians in articles it is common to use a
Gerhard full reference for the first citation and a short reference
Gerhard with a cross-reference to the footnote number of the first
Gerhard reference. For instance: "Wehler, Gesellschaftsgeschichte 1
Gerhard (wie Anm. 3)". Is it possible to use the lyx cross-reference
Gerhard function for this "Anm. 3" which points to the footnote
Gerhard number of the first citation.? - Sorry for my bad English

Did you try to add a label at the beginning of the first footnote?

Landscape Postscript Problems

2000-03-20 Thread Emanuele Olivetti

I found that Aladdin GSView for Windows has not the problem of "text cut
on the right", belonging (probably) to wrong bounding box.
Also ghostview 1.5 on UX-HP works well... (old ghostscript 2.6.1 !)

I think that only GV by Johannes Plass has the bug.

So I'll use GSView for Winz :- for my presentation...



Stay Tuned,


Emanuele





Re: Various problems with lyx

2000-03-20 Thread Klaus Blaschek

Hi again!

...
 for the introduction use the chapter* style or any other one, wich does
 not apper in the toc and add
 \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}
This works great, but I have another problem, too. I use the default fancy
style for my headings and get 'Table of Contents' as heading (and not
'Introduction') in my Introduction. Any hints?

...
 Add 'titlepage' as in the 'extra options' field of Layout-Document.
I've tried this, but it adds a horizontal line at the top of the page and
the page number '1' at the bottom :-(.

...
 maybe you can do it easier:

 Start your document with \frontmatter .
Unfortunately I get an error (sorry, I don't know the exact error message
anymore) as I inserted the Latex command at the beginning of the document
(before the toc).

Thanks in advance for your help,

Klaus

socket problem in Gnome Redhat 6.1

2000-03-20 Thread robin . c . smith

I have been using lyx for a long time under KDE/Redhat 5.2 with no problems.

I have recently upgraded to Redhat 6.1 ( a decision that has cost me a lot
of time ).

My Lyx no longer works but just core dumps with a segmentation violation.
I ran strace on lyx and found it seems to fail writing to a socket created
in /tmp

Any quick workarounds? What is this socket doing? I cannot find a refence to
sockets in the Lyx source code.

Thanks in advance

RE: Long table (in a float) problem

 Hello list
 
 
 OK, I have a long table, inside a float, and it won't split in two
 pages. When I got it out of the float, it works just fine, breaking just in
 the row I've said so.
 
 I even had make two tables out of my original table, put both of them inside
 a float, and put a \newpage between them and ... nothing.
 
 
 Can I make my table split inside the float ?  (this option is much better
than the next one)
 
 If not, well, I need the table to be numbered and into the list of tables,
 how can I work arround this ?
 
 

The Problem is that a float cannot be broken over pages! So this is a
problem all floats have! There is a trick to use a longtable and put
a caption in the longtable look at the examample file I attach.

I like to implement this feature natively in a future version of LyX :)

Hope this helps!

Compile error in Solaris

2000-03-20 Thread Jerry Yuan

Hi there,

LyX 1.1.4 seems can only be compiled under Solaris 2.6 and above.
Under 2.4 and 2.5. I get a message attached below.

Since majority of our system still quite old, is there a way to
solve this problem?

Thank you very much,
Jerry

Try to configure with --with-included-gettext, or add "-lintl" in the

Re: Various problems with lyx

2000-03-20 Thread Raphael GURLIE

 for the introduction use the chapter* style or any other one, wich does
 not apper in the toc and add
 \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}
This works great, but I have another problem, too. I use the default fancy
style for my headings and get 'Table of Contents' as heading (and not
'Introduction') in my Introduction. Any hints?

Just give a look to the attached lyx file. I think it will adress some
of your problems (as it does for me...)

the (lcr)head and (lcr)foot commands tells what to write in the
various header fields.

headrulewidth controls the width of the top horizontal bar.

markboth tells to put the following text in the leftmark variable.
So you can change as you like.
(you can use the same command to change conclusion and references)


the last renewcommand gives the format of the heading for the
following chapters, that is here : 
1. My first chapter title   5
It can be easily custumised (if you have a good latex reference manual
;)).

Hope it will help you !

Ghostview 1.5 with Ghostscript 5.50 on a Solaris box defintely HAS the
problem. 

GV 3.5.8 (the usual version) with Ghostscript 5.10 does also have the bug.

Ghostscript 3.33 was unable to read my test file at all :(

Maybe GV and ghostview are incompatable with newer versions of
Ghostscript? More test cases from anyone?

And to all readers on lyx mailinglist too:
- One solution is to use "ps2ps" (comes with ghostscript), but the
  resulting Postscript file is horrible. (ps2pdf followed pdf2ps
  produces the same horrible Postscript file)
- Better way is to convert it to, say, JPGs, rotate them, and view with
  Xv.
- The best way so far is to use "ps2pdf", open the file in Acrobat Reader,
  and use "print to file" in acroread.

I will try if newer version of xpdf could do the pdf-ps conversion
(0.5 was unable to read the pdf file).



Lyx just core dumped - how I fixed it

2000-03-20 Thread Enrique Perez-Terron

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

A while ago I installed lyx-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm on my RedHat 6.0 or 6.1 (I do not
remember. Now I have replaced most, if not all the redhat rpms with the 6.1
version.)  Since then I could not start lyx, it just said "Segmentation fault
(core dumped)".

The other day I saw that a new release, 1.1.4 had arrived, and I decided to
install it. I also upgraded my installation of tetex to 1.0.6-7.386.rpm.

The download site has xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm, but I had 0.88.1-51 installed,
which should be newer.

The newly installed lyx also dump core.

To investigate a little I have tried to see what is going on using strace.
Lyx opens a socket connection to the X server, and writes and reads to this
socket a good number of times and then it gets a SIGSEGV:

7660  write(4, "T\1\4\0!\0\0\0\377q\377q\377\306"..., 16) = 16
7660  read(4, "\0\vX\1\6\0\300\7\0\0T\0\270\17/"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "P\1\3\0\7\0\300\7!\0\0\0\20\1\t\0"..., 48) = 48
7660  read(4, "\1\207Z\1\0\0\0\0^\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "\20\1\t\0\31\0\300\7XDCCC_LINEAR"..., 36) = 36
7660  read(4, "\1\207[\1\0\0\0\0_\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "\24\0\6\0*\0\0\0_\0\0\0\23\0\0\0"..., 24) = 24
7660  read(4, "\1\0\\\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  --- SIGSEGV ---
7660  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I checked the versions of xforms closer using rpm -q -i, and discovered that my
exisitng xforms was built by suse. I do not know if the redhat and suse
distributions are incompatible in any significant way, but just in case I
uninstalled tetex-lyx, lyx, xform, and installed again, this time using the
xforms provided at the lyx ftp site.

The output of the installation began like this:

[root@arabia packages]# rpm -i tetex-lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm 
xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm

Seeing the error messages I just repeated the uninstall command, and installed
the same three packages again, one at the time: xforms, lyx and then, tetex-lyx.
This time there were no error messages.

And, finally, lyx started!

Since I did too many things between each trial, I do not know exactly what made
the problem go away.

I hope this can be of use to others.

Re: Lyx just core dumped - how I fixed it

It is almost certain, based on what you stated that your xforms version
was a bad one for your libc version.

As a general rule, a lyx core dump on startup is nearly always a system
library problem (including the possibilites of bad xforms version,
problems with the C library or X11 library problems).

The xforms on ftp.sylvan.com works with RH 6.0 and RH 6.1, so you installed
the right version for your system (which is why it now works).

Re: page numbers on first chapters

2000-03-20 Thread Jon R. Fox

To answer my own question:
Here's what I discovered will make this happen:
I can use fancyhdr.sty to redefine the plain pagestyle and then use
\usepackage{sectsty}
\chapterfont{\thispagestyle{plain}} %adds page numbers to pages with
chapter headings.

I also changed the chapter heading font and centered the heading on the
page with  \large and \nohang\centered .
Thank goodness to CTANs searchable index!

Landscape Postscript Problems

2000-03-20 Thread Emanuele Olivetti

I found that Aladdin GSView for Windows has not the problem of "text cut
on the right", belonging (probably) to wrong bounding box.
Also ghostview 1.5 on UX-HP works well... (old ghostscript 2.6.1 !)

I think that only GV by Johannes Plass has the bug.

So I'll use GSView for Winz :- for my presentation...



Stay Tuned,

Re: Various problems with lyx

2000-03-20 Thread Klaus Blaschek

Hi again!

...
 for the introduction use the chapter* style or any other one, wich does
 not apper in the toc and add
 \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}
This works great, but I have another problem, too. I use the default fancy
style for my headings and get 'Table of Contents' as heading (and not
'Introduction') in my Introduction. Any hints?

...
 Add 'titlepage' as in the 'extra options' field of Layout-Document.
I've tried this, but it adds a horizontal line at the top of the page and
the page number '1' at the bottom :-(.

...
 maybe you can do it easier:

 Start your document with \frontmatter .
Unfortunately I get an error (sorry, I don't know the exact error message
anymore) as I inserted the Latex command at the beginning of the document
(before the toc).

Thanks in advance for your help,

socket problem in Gnome Redhat 6.1

2000-03-20 Thread robin . c . smith

I have been using lyx for a long time under KDE/Redhat 5.2 with no problems.

I have recently upgraded to Redhat 6.1 ( a decision that has cost me a lot
of time ).

My Lyx no longer works but just core dumps with a segmentation violation.
I ran strace on lyx and found it seems to fail writing to a socket created
in /tmp

Any quick workarounds? What is this socket doing? I cannot find a refence to
sockets in the Lyx source code.

Thanks in advance

 I even had make two tables out of my original table, put both of them inside
 a float, and put a \newpage between them and ... nothing.
 
 
 Can I make my table split inside the float ?  (this option is much better
than the next one)
 
 If not, well, I need the table to be numbered and into the list of tables,
 how can I work arround this ?
 
 

The Problem is that a float cannot be broken over pages! So this is a
problem all floats have! There is a trick to use a longtable and put
a caption in the longtable look at the examample file I attach.

I like to implement this feature natively in a future version of LyX :)

Hope this helps!

Compile error in Solaris

Under 2.4 and 2.5. I get a message attached below.

Since majority of our system still quite old, is there a way to

Re: Various problems with lyx

2000-03-20 Thread Raphael GURLIE

 for the introduction use the chapter* style or any other one, wich does
 not apper in the toc and add
 \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Introduction}
This works great, but I have another problem, too. I use the default fancy
style for my headings and get 'Table of Contents' as heading (and not
'Introduction') in my Introduction. Any hints?

Just give a look to the attached lyx file. I think it will adress some
of your problems (as it does for me...)

the (lcr)head and (lcr)foot commands tells what to write in the
various header fields.

headrulewidth controls the width of the top horizontal bar.

markboth tells to put the following text in the leftmark variable.
So you can change as you like.
(you can use the same command to change conclusion and references)


the last renewcommand gives the format of the heading for the
following chapters, that is here : 
1. My first chapter title   5
It can be easily custumised (if you have a good latex reference manual
;)).

Hope it will help you !

Ghostview 1.5 with Ghostscript 5.50 on a Solaris box defintely HAS the
problem. 

GV 3.5.8 (the usual version) with Ghostscript 5.10 does also have the bug.

Ghostscript 3.33 was unable to read my test file at all :(

Maybe GV and ghostview are incompatable with newer versions of
Ghostscript? More test cases from anyone?

And to all readers on lyx mailinglist too:
- One solution is to use "ps2ps" (comes with ghostscript), but the
  resulting Postscript file is horrible. (ps2pdf followed pdf2ps
  produces the same horrible Postscript file)
- Better way is to convert it to, say, JPGs, rotate them, and view with
  Xv.
- The best way so far is to use "ps2pdf", open the file in Acrobat Reader,
  and use "print to file" in acroread.

I will try if newer version of xpdf could do the pdf-ps conversion
(0.5 was unable to read the pdf file).



Lyx just core dumped - how I fixed it

2000-03-20 Thread Enrique Perez-Terron

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

A while ago I installed lyx-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm on my RedHat 6.0 or 6.1 (I do not
remember. Now I have replaced most, if not all the redhat rpms with the 6.1
version.)  Since then I could not start lyx, it just said "Segmentation fault
(core dumped)".

The other day I saw that a new release, 1.1.4 had arrived, and I decided to
install it. I also upgraded my installation of tetex to 1.0.6-7.386.rpm.

The download site has xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm, but I had 0.88.1-51 installed,
which should be newer.

The newly installed lyx also dump core.

To investigate a little I have tried to see what is going on using strace.
Lyx opens a socket connection to the X server, and writes and reads to this
socket a good number of times and then it gets a SIGSEGV:

7660  write(4, "T\1\4\0!\0\0\0\377q\377q\377\306"..., 16) = 16
7660  read(4, "\0\vX\1\6\0\300\7\0\0T\0\270\17/"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "P\1\3\0\7\0\300\7!\0\0\0\20\1\t\0"..., 48) = 48
7660  read(4, "\1\207Z\1\0\0\0\0^\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "\20\1\t\0\31\0\300\7XDCCC_LINEAR"..., 36) = 36
7660  read(4, "\1\207[\1\0\0\0\0_\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "\24\0\6\0*\0\0\0_\0\0\0\23\0\0\0"..., 24) = 24
7660  read(4, "\1\0\\\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  --- SIGSEGV ---
7660  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I checked the versions of xforms closer using rpm -q -i, and discovered that my
exisitng xforms was built by suse. I do not know if the redhat and suse
distributions are incompatible in any significant way, but just in case I
uninstalled tetex-lyx, lyx, xform, and installed again, this time using the
xforms provided at the lyx ftp site.

The output of the installation began like this:

[root@arabia packages]# rpm -i tetex-lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm 
xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm
Re-configuring LyX for your system...

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73727: ./configure: No such file or directory
execution of script failed
Configuring LyX for your system...
checking for a LaTeX2e program... (latex latex2e)

Seeing the error messages I just repeated the uninstall command, and installed
the same three packages again, one at the time: xforms, lyx and then, tetex-lyx.
This time there were no error messages.

And, finally, lyx started!

Since I did too many things between each trial, I do not know exactly what made
the problem go away.

I hope this can be of use to others.

Re: Lyx just core dumped - how I fixed it

It is almost certain, based on what you stated that your xforms version
was a bad one for your libc version.

As a general rule, a lyx core dump on startup is nearly always a system
library problem (including the possibilites of bad xforms version,
problems with the C library or X11 library problems).

The xforms on ftp.sylvan.com works with RH 6.0 and RH 6.1, so you installed
the right version for your system (which is why it now works).

Re: page numbers on first chapters

2000-03-20 Thread Jon R. Fox

To answer my own question:
Here's what I discovered will make this happen:
I can use fancyhdr.sty to redefine the plain pagestyle and then use
\usepackage{sectsty}
\chapterfont{\thispagestyle{plain}} %adds page numbers to pages with
chapter headings.

I also changed the chapter heading font and centered the heading on the
page with  \large and \nohang\centered .
Thank goodness to CTANs searchable index!

Landscape Postscript Problems

2000-03-20 Thread Emanuele Olivetti

I found that Aladdin GSView for Windows has not the problem of "text cut
on the right", belonging (probably) to wrong bounding box.
Also ghostview 1.5 on UX-HP works well... (old ghostscript 2.6.1 !)

I think that only GV by Johannes Plass has the bug.

So I'll use GSView for Winz :-< for my presentation...



Stay Tuned,

This works great, but I have another problem, too. I use the default fancy

'Introduction') in my Introduction. Any hints?

...

I've tried this, but it adds a horizontal line at the top of the page and
the page number '1' at the bottom :-(.

Unfortunately I get an error (sorry, I don't know the exact error message
anymore) as I inserted the Latex command at the beginning of the document
(before the toc).

socket problem in Gnome Redhat 6.1

2000-03-20 Thread robin . c . smith

I have been using lyx for a long time under KDE/Redhat 5.2 with no problems.

I have recently upgraded to Redhat 6.1 ( a decision that has cost me a lot
of time ).

My Lyx no longer works but just core dumps with a segmentation violation.
I ran strace on lyx and found it seems to fail writing to a socket created
in /tmp

Any quick workarounds? What is this socket doing? I cannot find a refence to
sockets in the Lyx source code.

Thanks in advance

The Problem is that a float cannot be broken over pages! So this is a
problem all floats have! There is a trick to use a longtable and put
a caption in the longtable look at the examample file I attach.

I like to implement this feature natively in a future version of LyX :)

Hope this helps!

Compile error in Solaris

Hi there,

LyX 1.1.4 seems can only be compiled under Solaris 2.6 and above.
Under 2.4 and 2.5. I get a message attached below.

Since majority of our system still quite old, is there a way to
solve this problem?

Thank you very much,

Try to configure with --with-included-gettext, or add "-lintl" in the

Re: Various problems with lyx

Just give a look to the attached lyx file. I think it will adress some
of your problems (as it does for me...)

the (lcr)head and (lcr)foot commands tells what to write in the
various header fields.

headrulewidth controls the width of the top horizontal bar.

markboth tells to put the following text in the leftmark variable.
So you can change as you like.
(you can use the same command to change conclusion and references)


the last renewcommand gives the format of the heading for the
following chapters, that is here : 
1. My first chapter title   5
It can be easily custumised (if you have a good latex reference manual
;)).

Hope it will help you !

The X code may be creating sockets itself. However, the first thing to
check is that you have upgraded you xforms library to a version
compiled against glibc 2.1.

Ghostview 1.5 with Ghostscript 5.50 on a Solaris box defintely HAS the
problem. 

GV 3.5.8 (the usual version) with Ghostscript 5.10 does also have the bug.

Ghostscript 3.33 was unable to read my test file at all :(

Maybe GV and ghostview are incompatable with newer versions of
Ghostscript? More test cases from anyone?

And to all readers on lyx mailinglist too:
- One solution is to use "ps2ps" (comes with ghostscript), but the
  resulting Postscript file is horrible. (ps2pdf followed pdf2ps
  produces the same horrible Postscript file)
- Better way is to convert it to, say, JPGs, rotate them, and view with
  Xv.
- The best way so far is to use "ps2pdf", open the file in Acrobat Reader,
  and use "print to file" in acroread.

I will try if newer version of xpdf could do the pdf->ps conversion
(0.5 was unable to read the pdf file).



Lyx just core dumped - how I fixed it

2000-03-20 Thread Enrique Perez-Terron

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

A while ago I installed lyx-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm on my RedHat 6.0 or 6.1 (I do not
remember. Now I have replaced most, if not all the redhat rpms with the 6.1
version.)  Since then I could not start lyx, it just said "Segmentation fault
(core dumped)".

The other day I saw that a new release, 1.1.4 had arrived, and I decided to
install it. I also upgraded my installation of tetex to 1.0.6-7.386.rpm.

The download site has xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm, but I had 0.88.1-51 installed,
which should be newer.

The newly installed lyx also dump core.

To investigate a little I have tried to see what is going on using strace.
Lyx opens a socket connection to the X server, and writes and reads to this
socket a good number of times and then it gets a SIGSEGV:

7660  write(4, "T\1\4\0!\0\0\0\377q\377q\377\306"..., 16) = 16
7660  read(4, "\0\vX\1\6\0\300\7\0\0T\0\270\17/"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "P\1\3\0\7\0\300\7!\0\0\0\20\1\t\0"..., 48) = 48
7660  read(4, "\1\207Z\1\0\0\0\0^\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "\20\1\t\0\31\0\300\7XDCCC_LINEAR"..., 36) = 36
7660  read(4, "\1\207[\1\0\0\0\0_\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  write(4, "\24\0\6\0*\0\0\0_\0\0\0\23\0\0\0"..., 24) = 24
7660  read(4, "\1\0\\\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
7660  --- SIGSEGV ---
7660  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I checked the versions of xforms closer using rpm -q -i, and discovered that my
exisitng xforms was built by suse. I do not know if the redhat and suse
distributions are incompatible in any significant way, but just in case I
uninstalled tetex-lyx, lyx, xform, and installed again, this time using the
xforms provided at the lyx ftp site.

The output of the installation began like this:

[root@arabia packages]# rpm -i tetex-lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm 
xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm
Re-configuring LyX for your system...
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73727: /usr/share/lyx: No such file or directory
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73727: ./configure: No such file or directory
execution of script failed
Configuring LyX for your system...
checking for a LaTeX2e program... (latex latex2e)

Seeing the error messages I just repeated the uninstall command, and installed
the same three packages again, one at the time: xforms, lyx and then, tetex-lyx.
This time there were no error messages.

And, finally, lyx started!

Since I did too many things between each trial, I do not know exactly what made
the problem go away.

I hope this can be of use to others.

It is almost certain, based on what you stated that your xforms version
was a bad one for your libc version.

As a general rule, a lyx core dump on startup is nearly always a system
library problem (including the possibilites of bad xforms version,
problems with the C library or X11 library problems).

The xforms on ftp.sylvan.com works with RH 6.0 and RH 6.1, so you installed
the right version for your system (which is why it now works).

Cheers!

Re: page numbers on first chapters

2000-03-20 Thread Jon R. Fox

To answer my own question:
Here's what I discovered will make this happen:
I can use fancyhdr.sty to redefine the plain pagestyle and then use
\usepackage{sectsty}
\chapterfont{\thispagestyle{plain}} %adds page numbers to pages with
chapter headings.

I also changed the chapter heading font and centered the heading on the
page with  \large and \nohang\centered .
Thank goodness to CTANs searchable index!
