Cannot view DVI, view PDF, import Word etc...
I've been a happy Lyx user on my Mandrake systems. I've moved to RedHat 7.1 and reinstalled Lyx1.6fix3 and while it appears to work half of my View options have disappeared and those that are still on the menu don't work ie -> DVI, ->PDF(latex) fail although xpdf and gv are both on the system. My imports menu is shortened as well, import from Word does not appear. 1. What packages should I check for and once found how do I get Lyx to know about them? 2. If I have to recompile fix3 what arguments should I pass and how do I remove the existing installation of Lyx? (I know how to use rpm but uninstalling apps installed from tarballs eludes me). -- Laurie Savage Many say it was a mistake to come out of he trees, some say the move out of the oceans was a bad idea.

Copying files around is a waste of IO and disk space. Just use
symlinks. I haven't done this before (but a quick test shows no
problems) I'd do something like:
~/LyX/thesis/chap1/{*.lyx,*.fig,*.eps}
chap2/...
...
chap#/...
build/master.lyx (and symlinks)
Where the build directory has symlinks to the files in the other
directories. That way the files and figures are still somewhat
separated and if LyX ever gets fixed you just move the master file and
punt the build directory.
To make the symlinks you could just do this whenever you add files:
cd ~/LyX/thesis/build
ln -sf ../chap*/* .
When editing or formating the individual chapter files you'd do nothing
special. Edit them in either location (although I assume it would be
more convenient to use the chap# subdirs for this). The only issue is
that the master document needs to include files as "xxx.lyx" and not
"chap1/xxx.lyx" so it's easiest to create it in the build directory
if using the GUI's "browse" dialogue. That's also where you'd have
to format the master document from due to LyX's inane handling of
subdirectories.

babel & hyperref problems
Hi,
Is there a way to make LyX not use the \usepackage{babel} command? I'm using
hyperref and having Babel causes my bibtex references not to be hyphenated
properly. For now, I just export to TeX, comment out the babel package and
then convert with pdftex, but I would like to see the document exactly as is
going to be with XDVI when I'm typing it in LyX.
Thanks,
Enrique

Hallo Davide,
unfortunatly it is a problem with LyX to put the pstex_t and pstex
files anywhere else but the same directory as the lyx-file you
include it into.
If you want to put each chapter with its included files into a
subdirectory, you can write yourself a script that copies all
files from your subdirectories and the global file in a temp-directory,
exports the global document and then deletes the temp-files.
If you want an example script, let me know. I am at a party
right now, so I can't get it right now, but tomorrow would
be no problem.

do you mean the same directory of the main .lyx file?
so it's not currently possible to do create a dir for each chapter and
put in the lyx files and the pictures and then include those file
from the main which is at the superior level of directory, is it?
I ask this since I have many figures each chapter, so it would be nice
to separate the figures in different dir. However I have tried but I get
this latex error:
file 'rete.pstex_t' not found.
\begin{center} \input{rete.pstex_t} \end{center}
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

Re: Re: aligning paragraphs
On my version of lyx, this does not work. If I go to Layout|
Document| paragraph-separation, and change this setting to
"indent," my paragraphs still will not indent, because they are
aligned left. Apparently, LyX won't let you use the automatic
indent mode unless you choose block (justified) paragraph
formatting.
Hopefully I am wrong here. It just seems so unnatural to edit and
work with text all in justified mode.
I am using the class of article, and the style Standard.
Thank you for your help!

Re: Inserting source code examples.
Use package listings... Here is an example file to include some Matlab code.
It works for C and many other languages.

Inserting source code examples.
Hi, I'm helping write a book (http://opencbp.sourceforge.net) in LyX, and we need to include examples of C source code. The way I'm doing it right now is to use the Include File feature and check the Verbatim option. This works just fine, except that I wish LyX could take care of automatically numbering the examples, and I wish I could add a caption. The reason I'm not using algorithm floats is that the images generated are large, and seem to cause problems (if, for example, the source code spans multiple pages). Is there any way to do this? Thanks, Ben

For consistency you should keep the preablems in all documents the same. - set chapter-counters in the local-chapters too. This is some ERT, but you do it once in a template. Then you just copy the template and adjust the values as needed. This way the chapters by themselves and the global document look the same. If you need an example file, or some help let me know.
