Another guess is, that you saw the standard output of LyX and programs it
called (like bibtex). If you start LyX from a x-terminal emulator, you
will see a lot of messages (and with the -dbg "something" option even
more.

Some of this ends up in ~./xsession-errors.

Splitting lines is difficult enough with ordinary text, but with various

Did you compile lyx with qt or xforms?

Have you tried to use lyx installed from an rpm file, instead of compiling?
> I will search in Internet for lyx rpm.

Also look at your X setup. Apparently, some input methods for "òóö..."
works with lyx and some have trouble.

I use debian. Lyx-qt version 1.3.4, from debian or self-compiled both
works with òóìí and so on. The keyboard section from
my XF86Config-4 file looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "no"
EndSection

You probably want something other than "no" for the
keyboard layout, of course. I type á by first typing
the dead key ' (altgr and \ actually), then I type
the a and get a á.

Installing Lyx from source, without root.

[Bren Mochocki]

Hello,
I'm attempting to get lyx 1.3.5 up and running on RedHat Enterprise via 
the source.  The problem is that xforms is not installed.  I managed to 
compile xforms, and put the libraries in my network (afs) space.  Using 
the --prefix, --with-extra-inc and --with-extra-lib switches, I managed 
to tell configure where I wanted to install lyx (also on my network 
space) and where the xforms libraries were.

The configure, make, and make install all worked fine.  However, when I 
went to run lyx, it couldn't find the files libflimage.so.1 or 
libflimage.so.1 (I verified this by running > ldd lyx). 

the exact when attempting to run lyx is:
lyx: error while loading shared libraries: libflimage.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

Both files are in the path I specified using --with-extra-lib during 
configuration.  I attempted adding them to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but lyx 
still couldn't find them.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Bren

Indeed. That's what the prettyref package (and other similar packages) is

Thanks Rich,

I just had hernia repair surgery, and the doctor forbade me from heavy 
lifting. He specifically mentioned skateboarding and inter-chapter cross 
references.

Seriously, there's got to be some way to make it easier. Your method of "fig:" 
is a start, and makes things tolerable (THANKS!), but I'm wondering if 
something could be done with automatic labels or maybe local labels.

Thanks

SteveT,

   Coupla' thoughts:

1) Are all floats referenced other than in the immediate vicinity? They
can be referenced as "... as seen in the following figure." Actually, I find
adding a label while creating the float no more onerous than typing the
title, moving the cursor to the front of that, pressing [Enter], then going
Layout->Paragraph->Center before Insert->Graphic for each one. With all
this, what's one more step? :-)

   2) I think you'd find local labels a problem. Consider a figure in Chapter
2 that you want to reference in Chapter 11. How do you do this with local
labels?

   Besides, if writing books was easy, everyone would do it. :-) That's why
we have blogs.

Steve,

   Permit me a contrarian view. When I create a label I get a default initial
tag. However, I prefer my own. All figure tags begin with "fig: ", all table
tags begin with "tab: ", and so on. In the cross-reference dialog box I
activate the sort widget and they're all in alphabetical order. I don't use
numbers, but descriptive phrase. That way it doesn't matter if I move a
section from one chapter to another, the label remains valid and LaTeX finds
in when needed.

   I suspect that automating labels for everything will turn out to be more
of a bother for most situations. Besides, LyX already does so much of the
heavy lifting it should leave some things to us.

Thanks Rich,

Yes, I guess that's my beef.

LyX really does know of all chapter names, as evidenced by the navigate menu. 
Surely it could find some method of automatic label making, or something like 
that.

Having to label chapters doesn't bother me because there are so few chapters 
(17 in my upcoming book). But there are multiple floats per chapter, and I 
know of no sane naming convention, and labels are global, not local to a 
chapter.

Thanks Stephen,

OK, now I'm ready to ask for my first feature request since I asked for 
character styles in 2001. We need some sort of automatic labelling so that 
every part, chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, and float in the 
document. Here's why...

Adding a label to every float is a mere inconvenience. But keeping track of 
all those labels is a gargantuan task because labels are scoped document 
wide. Imagine a programming language with no local variables. How ugly is 
that to maintain?

Perhaps I could preface each label with some code indicating its chapter. But 
what code? Chapter numbers change with the addition of a chapter. Entire 
chapter names are big and ugly, and can change.

If these ready made labels cannot be accommodated, then at least a way of 
performing local scoping for intra chapter references, as well as global 
scoping for interchapter references.

Thanks

   Why would LyX know what label to apply to a float? It doesn't know what
label to give to an equation, chapter or piece of text.

   In front of the caption Insert->Label and give it a name. Now it appears
in your cross-reference list.

Re: How to cross reference a float

Intuitively, I doubt LyX would make me create a label for every float

AFAIK, you must manually create a label for each float. I think 
technically the label is associated with the caption.

How to cross reference a float

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I must not have gotten enough sleep last night, because I can't find a way to 
cross reference a float on my LyX 1.3.3. I create the figure float, give it a 
caption, and insert a .eps graphic. I then want to refer to the figure within 
some other text, so I Insert->Cross Reference, but the list of available 
references does not include my float, but only includes labels I've created.

Intuitively, I doubt LyX would make me create a label for every float -- the 
float's already there, so I'd think that would be enough.

How do I cross reference a float?

This is bad. However, how should LyX know your TAB setting (4 vs. 8 spaces,
say). I'd untab the source files (M-x untab in my "jed programmers editor").

Verbatim means input as-is. Again, how should LyX knwo which lines to break.
You have to do this manually, either in the source (which will improve
readability in a normal text editor anyway) or in LyX. You could also think
about using a "line-breaking layout".

line break and indentation for Lyx-Code

[Wolfgang Hennerbichler]

Hi! 

I am currently writing my Master Thesis in Lyx. I do have some pieces of
code that i incuded as verbatim files. I use Lyx-Code as the formatting
style for my program-code. 

I experience 2 Problems with that: 
* Indentation (done with TAB's) is ignored
* Lyx (or LateX?) does not line break the code. If a line is longer than
a sheet of paper, it's just cut off. 

I beg for help.

pyclient at LyX wiki

[G. Milde]

Dear fellow LyXers,

word count with LyX 1.3.4 is now possible (as well as source code editing
and a lot of other stuff) by use of the pyclient
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tools/PyClient

I became desesperate with Open Office Writer.
I selected Lyx and transfer my book .sxw to .lyx, (very hard work), but 
several keys no work, <>, ctrl, accents, num pad, no work.

Ã, Ã, work OK, but à no work.
I recompiled Lyx, (first make clean), and now shift key plus arrows no work!
then recompiled Lyx again, (first deleted all lyx dirs), and now shift key plus

I need help.
 

Did you compile lyx with qt or xforms? 
Have you tried to use lyx installed from an rpm file, instead of compiling?
Also look at your X setup.  Apparently, some input methods for "ÃÃÃ..."
works with lyx and some have trouble.

I use debian.  Lyx-qt version 1.3.4, from debian or self-compiled both
works with  and so on.  The keyboard section from
my XF86Config-4 file looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
   Driver  "keyboard"
   Option  "CoreKeyboard"
   Option  "XkbRules"  "xfree86"
   Option  "XkbModel"  "pc105"
   Option  "XkbLayout" "no"
EndSection
You probably want something other than "no" for the
keyboard layout, of course.  I type à by first typing
the dead key '  (altgr and \ actually), then I type
the a and get a Ã.

tex2pdf offers such a wrapper, among a lot of other stuff
(hyperref setup, graphics management, etc).
Configuration is (hopefully) self-explanatory.
http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/lyx-howto.htm
Leaves original files unchanged.

If you find it useful, you may add a (e.g) pdf3 converter creating pdfs
through tex2pdf.

The first run may take some time if you have a lot of epses to convert to pdf
(and the result may be disappointing as epstopdf bitmaps vector-like graphics:
you may prefer to control yourself the bitmap quality of such graphics by using 
png format,
or by preserving scalability with the help of external pdf export, see the 
recent thread
about xfig export).

IMHO, the lyx wiki  would be the right place for such user-provided hints.
Maybe we could start a section for tex2lyx (or even for relyx, as long as we
have to live with it) e.g. in  http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tips/Tips
