Re: crash on opening document
Hi Herbert, I deleted the entire .lyx directory and let lyx rebuild it fresh. This didn't fix it. I also looked in stdclass.inc in /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts but the line you said to add is already there. I tried compiling and reinstalling 1.1.6fix4 just in case I've screwed something else up on my system. 1.1.6fix4 opens docs without crashing. Any more suggestions?

Re: LyX capabilities question
Thank you very much! It's good to hear that it should be easy to get PostScript-type diagrams into LyX documents. I can also live with pressing a key to update the PostScript file and using gv with "Watch File" - that's exactly what I do now when writing PostScript documents, after all! I'll make the time to try out switching to LyX for document preparation, then. I'm also checking out OpenOffice's word-processor, although WYSIWYM seems intellectually attractive. -- Mark

I keep an open gv session next to my lyx window with 'watch file' on, and have 'update postscript' bound to key F11, so it's just a matter of hitting F11 and I can instantly see what the final doc will look like. Not exactly real time, but close enough for all intents and purposes. It actually lets me concentrate on the writing, and still get layout checks easily when needed. Cheers, f.

crash on opening document
Hi, I just upgraded from lyx-1.6fix2 to 1.2.0. I'm running on Redhat 7.0. I compiled from sources using the xforms 0.88 glibc library. Everything compiles and installs fine. When I run lyx the main screen appears with no problem. But as soon as I try to either open an old document or start a new document I get the following message lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting instructions i n Help->Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks ! Bye. Aborted (core dumped) Any suggestions? thanks, Nathan

Sorry to have bothered.
I had not exported the OSTYPE=cywin variable properly. I exported the
variable and ran the reconfigure from Lyx and now it works fine (without
the patch).
Thank you for a great software. It has made my start with the Latex
world much smoother.

I don't think so. LaTeX per se is a pretty stable format which has not changed much. The problem is the usage of non-standard packages as tcilatex.sty. As far as I know SW even has a option to safe "clean LaTeX" which produces more portable .tex but once the bridges are burnt there is no easy way to re-try. I try from time to time to run SW under Wine (and last time I even got the interaction with Maple working but the .ps generation failed), so maybe that's an option for larger quantities of files. For individual files I'd hand-clean the .tex. And to be honest, it is not much better the other way the other way round... Andre' PS: And please don't quote everything I said.

search in Version 1.2
I recently posted a problem I had with search (suchen) in Version 1.2:
I guess that in this version searching should now work also in cases such as
\caption[short caption]{long caption}. However, this takes a lot of time (in
my case at least 15 minutes, about 500 pages and 230 figures), because in
searching each
\caption[
]{
}
is shown separately after displaying an ERT grey box.
It also does not seem to be successful in finding the item (a figure number I
had inserted in the long caption).
I can't stop the searching except by killing the lyx process.
On the terminal from which I started lyx& I get messages like
Received unhandled X11 event
Type: 0x1e Target: 0x3802d49
Does it mean something is missing in my SuSE8.0 Linux?
This problem prevents me from using the searching facility. Note that this
applies for forward and backward searching.
A minor problem: When I go back to the old 1.6 version which I used to write
the book and which did not have this problem, the lyx file is not accepted
anymore.
Would appreciate help, since I would like to use the new version.
