Quick idea :
In your preamble add \usepackage{calc} and create a new counter
\newcounter{globalpagination)
\setcounter{globalpagination}{0}
For each new article
- store the pagination in the counter like \setcounter{globalpagination

Re: Writing a list in another environment
Jose Capco wrote: Dear List, I am still using the 1.3.5 version for windows (due to problems involved with 1.3.6 and Win98). I have a question on how to write a list when I change the environment. I am using the amsbook layout. And when for instance I am say in the Proof environment and I want to itemize something, then I have to change the environment to Itemize (I use the pulldown menu in the upper left part of the LyX window). But then I am not longer in the Proof environment.. and when I get out of the Itemize environment, the proof has already ended.. I hope I got my message clear.. Let me try to give an example I want something like this: (start of Theorem environment) Theorem: This is Theorem blahblah (end of Theorem environment) (start of proof environment) Proof: To proof this theorem we need the following steps (here an itemize environment starts) -(bullet) Step 1 -(bullet) Step 2 ... etc. (itemize ends.. but still I am in the proof environment) Step 1 is blahblabla. ... (end of proof environment) Is this at all possible with LyX (1.3.5 here!)? Yes, and it's not version-specific. You just need to increment the environment depth. Start the proof, then hit Enter and change the environment to itemize or enumerate (which, as you noted, takes you out of the proof environment). Now increment the environment (S-M-Right, Layout-Increase Environment Depth, or the toolbar button that looks like an indented paragraph with an arrow pointing to the right). The itemize/enumerate environment is now embedded within the proof. You'll have to increment depth for each new item. When you are done with the list, hit Enter and change the environment of the new paragraph back to proof. This will continue the current proof. Paul

export in txt format
i have been playing around with generating an ascii file of a lyx document. two things: how can one export as ascii paragraphs instead of ascii lines? and has anyone got the solution to export/convert with bibtex? i have tried to use pstotext and catdvi, but both messes up with by placing footnotes, page numbers, and form-feeds into the text in quite an arbitrary way. and also the text is then based on paragraphs instead of lines. one could of cause try to go via html or rtf, but then i have stuff in my preamble, which breaks disgracefully. ideas are most welcome. martin

Re: problem compiling on x86_64 (Slamd64)
I eventually was able to compile LyX by temporarily hiding my 32-bit version of the GL library and creating a link to the 64-bit version. There was the same problem with the artsd library as well. Since the program now runs perfectly as a 64-bit binary, I suspect that Qt is not improperly linked. Maybe there is some generic linking that LyX is using for all of Qt that has a hardcoded path for some of these libraries? I don't really know; I searched the Makefiles but could not figure it out. LyX itself does not use libGL directly. Could it be that you Qt is linked wrongly? Andre'

I would suggest that you run it from the command line to ascertain whether it can cope with your filename.tex. If not, I'd suggest that you grab the much more powerful tex2lyx from http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx tex2lyx has not been released formally yet but the web page provides a number of self-contained packages. Is their one for your OS of choice? So far, many people have used it with great success; give it a go! -- Angus

Whenever I try the spell checker, lyx dies and the terminal from which it started says ]$ lyx *** glibc detected *** lyx: free(): invalid pointer: 0x09d55bf0 *** === Backtrace: = /lib/libc.so.6[0x9d2424] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_free+0x77)[0x9d295f] /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6(_ZdlPv+0x21)[0x3b709c9] lyx(_ZNSt6vectorIcSaIcEE13_M_insert_auxEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPcS1_EERKc+0xd8)[0x81 709b0] /usr/lib/libaspell.so.15(aspell_speller_check+0x197)[0xcce545] lyx[0x81717fc] lyx[0x83a750e] lyx[0x83a797d] lyx[0x8381a3e] lyx[0x81378e6] lyx[0x813b2b0] lyx[0x830a215] lyx[0x8367908] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN7QObject15activate_signalEP15QConnectionListP8QUObject+ 0x16e)[0x4e76df4] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN7QObject15activate_signalEii+0xa8)[0x4e77428] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QPopupMenu9activatedEi+0x30)[0x5205ea4] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QPopupMenu6actSigEib+0x2c)[0x4f8af6c] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QPopupMenu17mouseReleaseEventEP11QMouseEvent+0x473)[0 x4f8b59d] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN7QWidget5eventEP6QEvent+0x3a1)[0x4eb5167] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication14internalNotifyEP7QObjectP6QEvent+0x97)[ 0x4e120cd] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication6notifyEP7QObjectP6QEvent+0x6bb)[0x4e1302 f] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN9QETWidget19translateMouseEventEPK7_XEvent+0xcc1)[0x4da 9b4d] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication15x11ProcessEventEP7_XEvent+0x619)[0x4da7 f01] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QEventLoop13processEventsEj+0x238)[0x4dbc008] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QEventLoop9enterLoopEv+0xad)[0x4e2a78b] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QEventLoop4execEv+0x26)[0x4e2a696] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication4execEv+0x1f)[0x4e11a99] lyx[0x830fea7] lyx[0x8124dcf] lyx[0x81637bb] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc6)[0x983de6] lyx(_ZN9QComboBox11setEditTextERK7QString+0x41)[0x8061881] === Memory map: 00124000-0012d000 r-xp 03:06 826417 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 0012d000-0012e000 rwxp 8000 03:06 826417 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 00196000-0019e000 r-xp 03:06 822947 /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 0019e000-0019f000 rwxp 7000 03:06 822947 /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 001a4000-001be000 r-xp 03:06 1338814/lib/ld-2.3.5.so 001be000-001bf000 r-xp 00019000 03:06 1338814/lib/ld-2.3.5.so 001bf000-001c rwxp 0001a000 03:06 1338814/lib/ld-2.3.5.so 002c7000-002d9000 r-xp 03:06 1238052 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 002d9000-002da000 rwxp 00012000 03:06 1238052 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 0030f000-00368000 r-xp 03:06 819823 /usr/lib/libmng.so.1.0.0 00368000-0036b000 rwxp 00058000 03:06 819823 /usr/lib/libmng.so.1.0.0 0054f000-00558000 r-xp 03:06 1335739 /lib/libgcc_s-4.0.1-20050727.so.1 00558000-00559000 rwxp 9000 03:06 1335739 /lib/libgcc_s-4.0.1-20050727.so.1 00836000-00848000 r-xp 03:06 820040 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.2.2 00848000-00849000 rwxp 00011000 03:06 820040 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.2.2 00862000-0087f000 r-xp 03:06 829689 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 0087f000-00881000 rwxp 0001c000 03:06 829689 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 00883000-008a9000 r-xp 03:06 293198 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 008a9000-008ac000 rwxp 00026000 03:06 293198 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 008ac000-008ad000 rwxp 008ac000 00:00 0 0096f000-00a93000 r-xp 03:06 1338815/lib/libc-2.3.5.so 00a93000-00a95000 r-xp 00124000 03:06 1338815/lib/libc-2.3.5.so 00a95000-00a97000 rwxp 00126000 03:06 1338815/lib/libc-2.3.5.so 00a97000-00a99000 rwxp 00a97000 00:00 0 00a9b000-00abd000 r-xp 03:06 1338830/lib/libm-2.3.5.so 00abd000-00abe000 r-xp 00021000 03:06 1338830/lib/libm-2.3.5.so 00abe000-00abf000 rwxp 00022000 03:06 1338830/lib/libm-2.3.5.so 00ac1000-00ac3000 r-xp 03:06 1339368/lib/libdl-2.3.5.so 00ac3000-00ac4000 r-xp 1000 03:06 1339368/lib/libdl-2.3.5.so 00ac4000-00ac5000 rwxp 2000 03:06 1339368/lib/libdl-2.3.5.so 00ac7000-00ac8000 r-xp 03:06 823359 /usr/lib/libpspell.so.15.0.3 00ac8000-00ac9000 rwxp 03:06 823359 /usr/lib/libpspell.so.15.0.3 00adc000-00bac000 r-xp 03:06 823269 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 00bac000-00bb rwxp 000cf000 03:06 823269 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 00bb2000-00bc r-xp 03:06 824696 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 00bc-00bc1000 rwxp e000 03:06 824696 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 00c2d000-00c3b000 r-xp 03:06 1339369/lib/libpthread-2.3.5.so 00c3b000-00c3c000 r-xp d000 03:06 1339369/lib/libpthread-2.3.5.so 00c3c000-00c3d000 rwxp e000 03:06 1339369/lib/libpthread-2.3.5.so 00c3d000-00c3f000 rwxp 00c3d000
Re: Writing a list in another environment
Jose Capco wrote: Dear List, I am still using the 1.3.5 version for windows (due to problems involved with 1.3.6 and Win98). I have a question on how to write a list when I change the environment. I am using the amsbook layout. And when for instance I am say in the Proof environment and I want to itemize something, then I have to change the environment to Itemize (I use the pulldown menu in the upper left part of the LyX window). But then I am not longer in the Proof environment.. and when I get out of the Itemize environment, the proof has already ended.. I hope I got my message clear.. Let me try to give an example I want something like this: (start of Theorem environment) Theorem: This is Theorem blahblah (end of Theorem environment) (start of proof environment) Proof: To proof this theorem we need the following steps (here an itemize environment starts) -(bullet) Step 1 -(bullet) Step 2 ... etc. (itemize ends.. but still I am in the proof environment) Step 1 is blahblabla. ... (end of proof environment) Is this at all possible with LyX (1.3.5 here!)? Yes, and it's not version-specific. You just need to increment the environment depth. Start the proof, then hit Enter and change the environment to itemize or enumerate (which, as you noted, takes you out of the proof environment). Now increment the environment (S-M-Right, Layout-Increase Environment Depth, or the toolbar button that looks like an indented paragraph with an arrow pointing to the right). The itemize/enumerate environment is now embedded within the proof. You'll have to increment depth for each new item. When you are done with the list, hit Enter and change the environment of the new paragraph back to proof. This will continue the current proof. Paul

export in txt format
i have been playing around with generating an ascii file of a lyx document. two things: how can one export as ascii paragraphs instead of ascii lines? and has anyone got the solution to export/convert with bibtex? i have tried to use pstotext and catdvi, but both messes up with by placing footnotes, page numbers, and form-feeds into the text in quite an arbitrary way. and also the text is then based on paragraphs instead of lines. one could of cause try to go via html or rtf, but then i have stuff in my preamble, which breaks disgracefully. ideas are most welcome. martin

Re: problem compiling on x86_64 (Slamd64)
I eventually was able to compile LyX by temporarily hiding my 32-bit version of the GL library and creating a link to the 64-bit version. There was the same problem with the artsd library as well. Since the program now runs perfectly as a 64-bit binary, I suspect that Qt is not improperly linked. Maybe there is some generic linking that LyX is using for all of Qt that has a hardcoded path for some of these libraries? I don't really know; I searched the Makefiles but could not figure it out. LyX itself does not use libGL directly. Could it be that you Qt is linked wrongly? Andre'

Can anyone help or advise apoor beginner? reLyX is a perl script. Do you have perl installed on your machine. reLyX is also rather limited and is pretty-well unsupported. I would suggest that you run it from the command line to ascertain whether it can cope with your filename.tex. If not, I'd suggest that you grab the much more powerful tex2lyx from http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx tex2lyx has not been released formally yet but the web page provides a number of self-contained packages. Is their one for your OS of choice? So far, many people have used it with great success; give it a go! -- Angus

Quick idea :
In your preamble add \usepackage{calc} and create a new counter
\newcounter{globalpagination)
\setcounter{globalpagination}{0}
For each new article
- store the pagination in the counter like \setcounter{globalpagination
{\value{globalpagination}+ \page}
- restart the pagination numbering \pagenumbering{arabic}
- Use the fancyhdr package and insert your two paginations, one based on
\page and the other on \globalpagination

Also, maybe there is no space for binding at the first page, as well as the page number... Check and see if there's a LaTeX documentclass appropriate to your university. If not, http://www.ctan.org has some you might find useful as starting points. Failing that, use ERT to \renecommand the \maketitle command to meet the requirements. Usually the best thing to do is to build a box of the dimensions required by all of the elements, fill it and place that in the appropriate place on the page. A search on ``renewcommand maketitle'' should get you started. William -- William Adams, publishing specialist voice - 717-731-6707 | Fax - 717-731-6708 www.atlis.com

Whenever I try the spell checker, lyx dies and the terminal from which it started says ]$ lyx *** glibc detected *** lyx: free(): invalid pointer: 0x09d55bf0 *** === Backtrace: = /lib/libc.so.6[0x9d2424] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_free+0x77)[0x9d295f] /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6(_ZdlPv+0x21)[0x3b709c9] lyx(_ZNSt6vectorIcSaIcEE13_M_insert_auxEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPcS1_EERKc+0xd8)[0x81 709b0] /usr/lib/libaspell.so.15(aspell_speller_check+0x197)[0xcce545] lyx[0x81717fc] lyx[0x83a750e] lyx[0x83a797d] lyx[0x8381a3e] lyx[0x81378e6] lyx[0x813b2b0] lyx[0x830a215] lyx[0x8367908] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN7QObject15activate_signalEP15QConnectionListP8QUObject+ 0x16e)[0x4e76df4] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN7QObject15activate_signalEii+0xa8)[0x4e77428] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QPopupMenu9activatedEi+0x30)[0x5205ea4] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QPopupMenu6actSigEib+0x2c)[0x4f8af6c] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QPopupMenu17mouseReleaseEventEP11QMouseEvent+0x473)[0 x4f8b59d] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN7QWidget5eventEP6QEvent+0x3a1)[0x4eb5167] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication14internalNotifyEP7QObjectP6QEvent+0x97)[ 0x4e120cd] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication6notifyEP7QObjectP6QEvent+0x6bb)[0x4e1302 f] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN9QETWidget19translateMouseEventEPK7_XEvent+0xcc1)[0x4da 9b4d] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication15x11ProcessEventEP7_XEvent+0x619)[0x4da7 f01] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QEventLoop13processEventsEj+0x238)[0x4dbc008] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QEventLoop9enterLoopEv+0xad)[0x4e2a78b] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN10QEventLoop4execEv+0x26)[0x4e2a696] /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3(_ZN12QApplication4execEv+0x1f)[0x4e11a99] lyx[0x830fea7] lyx[0x8124dcf] lyx[0x81637bb] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc6)[0x983de6] lyx(_ZN9QComboBox11setEditTextERK7QString+0x41)[0x8061881] === Memory map: 00124000-0012d000 r-xp 03:06 826417 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 0012d000-0012e000 rwxp 8000 03:06 826417 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 00196000-0019e000 r-xp 03:06 822947 /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 0019e000-0019f000 rwxp 7000 03:06 822947 /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 001a4000-001be000 r-xp 03:06 1338814/lib/ld-2.3.5.so 001be000-001bf000 r-xp 00019000 03:06 1338814/lib/ld-2.3.5.so 001bf000-001c rwxp 0001a000 03:06 1338814/lib/ld-2.3.5.so 002c7000-002d9000 r-xp 03:06 1238052 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 002d9000-002da000 rwxp 00012000 03:06 1238052 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 0030f000-00368000 r-xp 03:06 819823 /usr/lib/libmng.so.1.0.0 00368000-0036b000 rwxp 00058000 03:06 819823 /usr/lib/libmng.so.1.0.0 0054f000-00558000 r-xp 03:06 1335739 /lib/libgcc_s-4.0.1-20050727.so.1 00558000-00559000 rwxp 9000 03:06 1335739 /lib/libgcc_s-4.0.1-20050727.so.1 00836000-00848000 r-xp 03:06 820040 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.2.2 00848000-00849000 rwxp 00011000 03:06 820040 /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.2.2 00862000-0087f000 r-xp 03:06 829689 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 0087f000-00881000 rwxp 0001c000 03:06 829689 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 00883000-008a9000 r-xp 03:06 293198 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 008a9000-008ac000 rwxp 00026000 03:06 293198 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 008ac000-008ad000 rwxp 008ac000 00:00 0 0096f000-00a93000 r-xp 03:06 1338815/lib/libc-2.3.5.so 00a93000-00a95000 r-xp 00124000 03:06 1338815/lib/libc-2.3.5.so 00a95000-00a97000 rwxp 00126000 03:06 1338815/lib/libc-2.3.5.so 00a97000-00a99000 rwxp 00a97000 00:00 0 00a9b000-00abd000 r-xp 03:06 1338830/lib/libm-2.3.5.so 00abd000-00abe000 r-xp 00021000 03:06 1338830/lib/libm-2.3.5.so 00abe000-00abf000 rwxp 00022000 03:06 1338830/lib/libm-2.3.5.so 00ac1000-00ac3000 r-xp 03:06 1339368/lib/libdl-2.3.5.so 00ac3000-00ac4000 r-xp 1000 03:06 1339368/lib/libdl-2.3.5.so 00ac4000-00ac5000 rwxp 2000 03:06 1339368/lib/libdl-2.3.5.so 00ac7000-00ac8000 r-xp 03:06 823359 /usr/lib/libpspell.so.15.0.3 00ac8000-00ac9000 rwxp 03:06 823359 /usr/lib/libpspell.so.15.0.3 00adc000-00bac000 r-xp 03:06 823269 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 00bac000-00bb rwxp 000cf000 03:06 823269 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 00bb2000-00bc r-xp 03:06 824696 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 00bc-00bc1000 rwxp e000 03:06 824696 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 00c2d000-00c3b000 r-xp 03:06 1339369/lib/libpthread-2.3.5.so 00c3b000-00c3c000 r-xp d000 03:06 1339369/lib/libpthread-2.3.5.so 00c3c000-00c3d000 rwxp e000 03:06 1339369/lib/libpthread-2.3.5.so 00c3d000-00c3f000 rwxp 00c3d000
Re: Writing a list in another environment
Jose Capco wrote: Dear List, I am still using the 1.3.5 version for windows (due to problems involved with 1.3.6 and Win98). I have a question on how to write a list when I change the environment. I am using the amsbook layout. And when for instance I am say in the "Proof" environment and I want to itemize something, then I have to change the environment to "Itemize" (I use the pulldown menu in the upper left part of the LyX window). But then I am not longer in the "Proof" environment.. and when I get out of the "Itemize" environment, the proof has already ended.. I hope I got my message clear.. Let me try to give an example I want something like this: (start of Theorem environment) Theorem: This is Theorem blahblah (end of Theorem environment) (start of proof environment) Proof: To proof this theorem we need the following steps (here an itemize environment starts) -(bullet) Step 1 -(bullet) Step 2 ... etc. (itemize ends.. but still I am in the proof environment) Step 1 is blahblabla. ... (end of proof environment) Is this at all possible with LyX (1.3.5 here!)? Yes, and it's not version-specific. You just need to increment the environment depth. Start the proof, then hit Enter and change the environment to itemize or enumerate (which, as you noted, takes you out of the proof environment). Now increment the environment (S-M-Right, Layout->Increase Environment Depth, or the toolbar button that looks like an indented paragraph with an arrow pointing to the right). The itemize/enumerate environment is now embedded within the proof. You'll have to increment depth for each new item. When you are done with the list, hit Enter and change the environment of the new paragraph back to proof. This will continue the current proof. Paul

The updated graphics file gets copied into the tempdir though, so Lyx must be somehow aware of the change, yet Lyx isn't rerunning (pdf)latex. The graphic preview is updated like it should be, however. Maybe this is again a Windows-specific path thing? My test case is the file D:\lyxtest\newfile1.lyx with embedded graphics file D:\lyxtest\impulse-redone.pdf; specifying absolute or relative paths doesn't make a difference. The temp dir is also D:\lyxtest, but I had it in C:\tmp before, with no difference. Btw, in the status bar for a very brief moment Lyx says its "Running Latex..." (I think, it disappears almost instantly). Any bug squashers let me know if you need further info, thanks, Sven FYI, I've added this to bugzilla. Paul
export in txt format
i have been playing around with generating an ascii file of a lyx document. two things: how can one export as ascii paragraphs instead of ascii lines? and has anyone got the solution to export/convert with bibtex? i have tried to use pstotext and catdvi, but both messes up with by placing footnotes, page numbers, and form-feeds into the text in quite an arbitrary way. and also the text is then based on paragraphs instead of lines. one could of cause try to go via html or rtf, but then i have stuff in my preamble, which breaks disgracefully. ideas are most welcome. martin

What does that ("whatever") mean?

Just say where to upload FWIW lyx is in Fedora Extras, so if you have net access to install lyx should be as simple as: # yum install lyx All the dependencies will be taken in account. That as simple as you can get. :-) -- José Abílio
Re: problem compiling on x86_64 (Slamd64)
I eventually was able to compile LyX by temporarily hiding my 32-bit version of the GL library and creating a link to the 64-bit version. There was the same problem with the artsd library as well. Since the program now runs perfectly as a 64-bit binary, I suspect that Qt is not improperly linked. Maybe there is some generic linking that LyX is using for all of Qt that has a hardcoded path for some of these libraries? I don't really know; I searched the Makefiles but could not figure it out. LyX itself does not use libGL directly. Could it be that you Qt is linked wrongly? Andre'

It means that Lars and I are proving to each other that we've read the

Problems importing tex into lyx
I've recently installed lyx. Everything seesm to wotk OK except importing a tex document - always get the message Error while executing reLyx -f "filename.tex".

Can anyone help or advise > apoor beginner? reLyX is a perl script. Do you have perl installed on your machine. reLyX is also rather limited and is pretty-well unsupported. I would suggest that you run it from the command line to ascertain whether it can cope with your "filename.tex". If not, I'd suggest that you grab the much more powerful "tex2lyx" from http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx tex2lyx has not been released formally yet but the web page provides a number of self-contained packages. Is their one for your OS of choice? So far, many people have used it with great success; give it a go! -- Angus
