bibtex-file
i had an error in my bib-file, which lyx (latex) reported well. I corrected this in my bib-file and run lyx-show-dvi again. the same error ... i had to close and reopend the file again, than all works well. from my point of view it's lyx forget to run bibtex again! it's easy to reproduce this error: - choose any bibtex-file and give a title-entry a "&" (without \) - insert in lyx-file bibtex-reference - run lyx-showDVI - correct the bibtexentry to ... \& ... - run lyx-showDVI again happy easter to all of you :-) Herbert

In my ~/.lyx/bind/emacs.bind I have \bind "C-x c""word-capitalize" \bind "C-x l""word-lowcase" \bind "C-x u""word-upcase" \bind "M-u" "word-upcase" These are not the same bindings as xemacs, but are still convenient. -- Ronald Florence http://members.home.net/18james

Problems Problems - lyx port for Win 95.
I have been trying to get Lyx installed on a Windows 95 (OSR2.1) computer using fptex. Many of th features are now working but the two most important feature will not work. First, I am using the port form Prof. Dr. Claus Hentschel lyx page. I have 114fix1 installed. I also tried 114fix2 with no change. I have Active perl installed Version 5.6.0 build 613 at /usr/local/perl/bin/. I am using ispell, cygwin port. Now the problems First, when reLyX is invoked I get the following error Unrecognized escape \d passed through at ../share/lyx/reLyX/reLyXmain.pl line 85 . reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/09/27 Cannot chdir to //C/apps/lyx114/share/lyx/relyx/:No such file or directory at .. /share/lyx/reLyX/reLyXmain.pl line 351. Compilation failed in require at ./reLyX line 52. Exited due to fatal Error! I have no clue. Any guesses? Second, Ispell is giving me fits. Please don't suggest aspell. No matter what I do lyx will only run ispell. I set the path, changed lyxrc and changed lyxrc.defaults. Only ispell runs. However, when ispell runs I get: Hash table options don't agree with buildhash - 0x2/100/10 vs. 0x6/100/10 Ispell read timed out, what now? I have rebuilt the hashs three times. Ispell is installed at /usr/local/bin/ The hashs are at /usr/local/lib/ . This is in agreement with the information found in ispell-vv | more. Where is the error? I need to get one of these features working. If I can get relyx to work I can us 4spell to check the spelling. The only idea I had was that Ispell/Cygwin does not like Cyrix processors but why does lyx/cygwin work? Any ideas? Thanks, Sheldon
lyx-1.1.4-fix3 on Solaris 2.6/2.7: gs crashes
Just a quick message. After compiling LyX on a Solaris 2.7 machine (2.6? At least, I think it's 2.7 - rats, I never know): SunOS 5.7 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 "Something" crashes whenever a postscript is included into a document. Note that the program works "swimmingly" if it's a document without images, and the old builds I have (1.0.4) work fine (including images). Now, this may have nothing to do with LyX, but here's the error output one gets whenever a .ps file is included: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Unrecoverable error: limitcheck in .putdeviceprops Unexpected interpreter error -13. Error object: .putdeviceprops(1488)op_array(513)0x169cd0: Execution stack at 0x15dcac: 0x166b80: 0x0f oper --F---e-- 0x 0x00059cf4 = %interp_exit 0x166b88: 0x03 file --G-rxe-- 0x0001 0x0016a378 0x166b90: 0x0e null --F---e-- 0x 0x0005b7c4 0x166b98: 0x0b int --F-- 0x0002 0x0006 = 6 0x166ba0: 0x0b int --F-- 0x 0x0005 = 5 0x166ba8: 0x0f oper --F---e-- 0x 0x0005b7ac = %oparray_pop 0x166bb0: 0x05 mpry --G-rxe-- 0x0002 0x0016afc4 0x166bb8: 0x0e null --F---e-- 0x 0x0005b7c4 0x166bc0: 0x0b int --F-- 0x0001 0x0006 = 6 0x166bc8: 0x0b int --F-- 0x0001 0x0005 = 5 0x166bd0: 0x0f oper --F---e-- 0x 0x0005b7ac = %oparray_pop 0x166bd8: 0x05 mpry --G-rxe-- 0x0039 0x001a07f2 Dictionary stack at 0x15d6e8: 0x1673b0: 0x02 dict --Gwrx--- 0x 0x00167520 0x1673b8: 0x02 dict --Gwrx--- 0x0004 0x001b0750 0x1673c0: 0x02 dict --Lwrx--- 0x3620 0x0016e510 0x1673c8: 0x02 dict --Gwrx--- 0x 0x00167520 0x1673d0: 0x02 dict --Gwrx--- 0xda2c 0x001e8be8 Actually, most of the above stuff looks like it's from ghostscript (but - who knows, maybe some of it's from LyX?) - either way, LyX goes down because of it. Before blaming anybody, this is also very possibly due to a bad build... VERSIONS GNU Ghostscript 5.10 (1998-12-17) gcc/g++ 2.95.1 libXpm 3.71 xforms 0.88.1 BAD BUILD? Possibly. Probably? Welp, here's what I did - for better or worse... (Worse, I imagine... hehe) I had to change a couple of things around a wee bit. Firstly, the ./configure program didn't see that DIR is defined in dirent.h (so I added "# define HAVE_DIRENT_H 1" to the config.h file), and typecasted the second argument of select incorrectly as a pointer to an integer (so I removed SELECT_TYPE_ARG234 from approximately line 370 of src/spellchecker.C). (Actually, ./configure also missed the location of ar in libtool, which on this bloody machine is supposed to be /usr/ccs/bin/ar - gack). Right. Well, the next bit of changing is rather embarassing: including the line "#define _MATH_H 1" at the beginning of the insets/figinset.C, FontInfo.C and FontLoader.C files so that math.h isn't included, because the definition of "exception" there clashes with some other definition of "exception" in some (standard system) C++ include file (sorry, can't remember which one off the top of my head). Sorry. I didn't look closely at this whatsoever. I was hungry and just wanted a quick fix. :) Probably the "next worst part" of the build was to include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include to makefiles in the compiling - sorry again, but if I didn't, the thing just wouldn't compile (./configure put in -I/usr/openwin/include, which just didn't "cut it", as it were). Lastly, keep up the great work! Looking great, and looking forward to the new updates!
