Re: Re[2]: Configuring Lyx
I have installed Xforms from there RPM files - I thought I only had to do that if I ran make myself - sorry I'm a beginner so I get a bit confused.

cross-reference limit?
It looks like I'm cross-reference junkie and being punished for it. I added a couple more labels, and now part-way into the "Refs->Insert Pretty Ref->" pulldown menu, it doesn't let me insert more references. Is it just my installation, or is this a known limitation? (i checked quickly didn't see it mentioned in the docs for lyx-1.1.5fix1) Fortunately, I can still use the "Insert->Cross Reference..." pop-up, so I'm not stuck.

One way to start is to find an existing document class LyX supports that has similar paragraph styles and copy and modify that. Allan. (ARRae)
spec files and patches for building gcc, egcs & pgcc
During the last week a couple of people on both the user and developers lists have complained bitterly about RH-7.0's gcc release and the desire to switch to gcc-2.95.2. Others have then countered with arguements that they can't get a gcc-2.95.2 working properly or it gives dumb errors or some other complaint. I offered my spec files and patches for those who wanted them and present them here now. I have three compilers co-existing on my development system: gcc-2.95.2, egcs-1.1.2 and pgcc-2.95.3 where gcc is the key compiler and the other two have been repackaged to fit in with it. pgcc shares cpp with gcc for example, although a separate cpp package is built from the pgcc srpm. I can't guarantee any installation that leaves out the gcc packages. You may also get some complaints from rpm about the libstdc++ package versions -- ignore them. I've bundled gcc's libstdc++ into the gcc-c++ rpm to avoid name classes with the other two systems -- besides all these libraries are local anyway. The spec file adds symlinks from /lib to the appropriate libraries so there are no problems finding the libraries. I used the same src.rpm on three distro's: SuSE-6.3, Mandrake-6.1 and Red Hat-6.0 The attached tar file contains: RPM/compilers.list the list of rpms installed from the three packages RPM/egcs-1.1.2.tgz the spec file and Makefile patch for egcs-1.1.2. This package is based on redhat's egcs-1.1.2-12.src.rpm just replace their spec file with mine. RPM/gcc-2.95.2.tgz all you need to add is the gcc-2.95.2 release tarball. The spec file probably still mentions a pgcc patch as a source but it isn't applied so comment that source line out. RPM/pgcc-2.95.3.tgz Just add the gcc release tarball above and the pgcc-2.95.3 patch. RPM/rpmrc.tail A set of lines I appended to my /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc to get higher optimisation of built binaries. This is based on the flags used by the Mandrake distribution. All three compilers build their libaries into their own subdirs rather than placing them globally into /usr/lib. This avoids conflicts.

(1) You can't enter umlauts within LyX. (2) Umlauts are not shown in the LyX window (3) Umlauts are not shown in the DVI/Postscript. I suspect that (3) happens as the encoding defined by the inputenc package (Latin1) clashes with the encoding defined by the CJK package (Big5, GB etc.). Perhaps you need to use the UTF8 encoding option of the CJK package (if CJK-LyX supports it), or use Omega instead of LaTeX (if CJK-LYX supports it). Also, if (3) happens, please send me a small example file (the lyx file + the latex file). Anyhow, I plan of integrating the CJK-LyX into the normal version, and I hope that in this process your problem will be solved.

Adding a New Class
I'm sorry if this has been a continuing thread on this group. I'm a newbie to Lyx, but I've read the "Customizing" doc and no joy. I got the "akletter.cls" package from CTAN and installed it in /usr/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/akletter under Debian 2.2. I edited my texmf.cnf file to include my texmf.local path. I ran texhash, then Lyx Opt|Reconfigure. After I restart Lyx the "akletter" Class does not show up. I must be missing something, but what?

Yes. If you don't need to use (normal) \frac, just put the following line in
the preamble:
\def\frac##1##2{\infer{##2}{##1}}
If you do need to use \frac, then put the following line in the preamble
\def\foo#1{{\def\frac##1##2{\infer{##2}{##1}}#1}}
and then put \foo{} around each formula inset with a proof (outside of the
insets).
Re: Configuring Lyx
It doesn't configure with both xforms and xforms-devel either 0.88 or 0.89. I have tried make distclean, which didn't solve it, and neither did deleting it all and re-expanding it from the .tar archive.

Problems with LyX with a Alpha Linux
I compiled LyX on a Alphastation with Debian linux 2.2 installed. The compilation goes fine, but I get an 'illegal instruction' error when I try to run it. Any suggestions? Regards, Sun
Function key F10 isn´t available anymore
Hello LyXers, sorry if this isn´t the right place to ask this question but I try it anyway: I reconfigured my window manager (KDE) and since then the function key F10 isn´t available anymore within LyX (I use F10 for menu item shortkeys). I tried to use an old lyxrc-file, reconfigured LyX but both didn´t help. Has anybody an idea? TIA, Stephan PS: Oh, now I know "Never change a running system..."

Lyx and 16.7 M colors
I have recently updated my video RAM to be able to run linux in 16.7 M colors. But with this settings LyX want run, i get a message like: ... BadLength Major opcode of failed request: 91 (X_QueryColors) ... When swtiching bact to thousands of colors everything works fine. But are there any ways of running LyX in true colors?
