hi folks. I have installed 1.4 on ubuntu. When I attempt to run spell

disappears. It tells me the number of words checked, but does not in

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? is there anything i can do

I think this bug may be #2218, you can read comments at
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2218

I think spellchecking from the shell might work.
Save the file and type aspell -c foo.lyx at the command line.

It would find all the various preamble misspellings but if
you add them, eventually you will just have your words
in the document spellchecked.

Re: No VIEW-DVI in LyX Win32

[Charles Schulz]

Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.  However, I'm somewhat confused.  My current 
installation of LyX works just fine except I don't have the DVI rendering. 
 I'd assumed that this was because it couldn't find the DVI convert 
helper.  And this because I either don't have the needed helper on my 
system, or I messed up when configuring the system.  I've spent some time 
trying to hack the configuration files to try to get LyX to link to xdvi 
with no success.  Your suggestion that I follow either Enrico's or 
Kayvan's instructions implies that the binary distribution I'm using was 
built without this feature.  This begs the question Why would anyone 
distribute a version of a program which cannot even run the included 
tutorial?.  I guess the response I was expecting to the inquiry was 
something like LyX Win32 is built assuming DVI renderer xxx.  You need to 
get xxx from yyy and make LyX aware of it by zzz.

So I tried Enrico's instructions first and ran into the following issues:
The sourceforge cvs repository seems to be broken.  It won't let me log 
into qtwin as anonymous.  So I down loaded the source from the sourceforge 
web site, noticing that this was qt-3 not qt3.
The patch file mostly works except for some #includes in one file which I 
fixed up, and an #ifdef associated with multi head monitors which aren't 
of interest to me anyway.
Make fails because undeclared function wcsncpy in qprinter_win.cpp.  Also 
warns about /* within a comment so I'm guessing that this is a result of 
another patch incompatibility.  Note: the patch file does not touch 
qprint_win.cpp.
Gave up on this path.

Looked at Kayvan's suggestions for X11 build of LyX 1.4 which requires a 
down level of the gcc compiler and asked myself if I wanted to start down 
another path which will probably have problems and decided to write a 
reply to your note.

Is there a simple path to getting the DVI rendering working which 
doesn't require rebuilding LyX and qt3?

I have installed LyX Win32 on an XP machine including cygwin.  I chose to
 get all the necessary prerequisite stuff through cygwin rather than 
having
 the install script download it (they all end up in $cygwin/bin).  I have
 added $cygwin/bin and $cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin to my environment path. When
 I try going through the tutorial and follow the My first LyX document!
 example, I'm hung up at producing a DVI version since there is not

 checked that $cygwin/usr/X11R6/bin/xdvi.exe exists.

 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There used to be a LyX version built for Cygwin and you could download
and install it like Tetex or other Cygwin programs along with dependencies.

The Cygwin LyX was removed from the download programs months ago,
which made me speculate on what/where you got your LyX version, because
http://www.cygwin.com/

What Isn't Cygwin?
* Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to 
rebuild

your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.

* Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX 
functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps 
from source

if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
-

So I've used Claus Hentschel's port to Cygwin. But I see he has taken down 
his
instructions. Also Cygwin LyX and recently Enrico's method to install Cygwin 
LyX.
I had misgivings about your method but am not an authority. Cygwin LyX is 
very
rarely used and I only know of two experts. I've never seen a prior problem 
like

your reported for Cygwin.

The instructions are for using Msys which has its own versions of sh.exe and
sed.exe which are used for executing scripts and I've seen LyX installations 
for

native windows LyX fail because Cygwin was before Msys in the path and the
wrong versions of either/or sh.exe or sed.exe were invoked.

I don't know if that is a factor in the reverse situation. I think Enrico 
mentioned

Python and a symlink because I _think_ there is a Python script which reads
the Tetex or Miktex directory and populates Tex Information. And also I
think an sh script that sets up your Viewers and Path_prefix. The recent LyX
versions use Qt3 and are called native Windows versions, they don't use X11.

There is no assumption made that they will work on Cygwin and you will find
nothing in the documentation that says they can. ImageMagick is a LyX helper
program. When I recently built LyX140x using Enrico's instructions I had the
Cygwin version installed and the Windows version of ImageMagick installed.
I had to remove the Cygwin version in order for the Windows version to work.
I don't mean that Cygwin's version wouldn't work with Cygwin. So I gathered
that you might have installed Windows versions of programs that were not
compiled for Cygwin. I haven't seen this recommended in print. Sometimes
one encounters subtle conflicts with paths with spaces, a semi-colon 
delimiter

vs a colon delimiter and forward slashes vs. backward slashes.

Anyway, this is the long answer which boils down to I haven't seen your
approach supported in print. Therefore there is no documented way to
troubleshoot this problem. I don't think it is an exact analogy of the 
problem

They wouldn't. Where and what binary distribution did you find intended to
be installed with Cygwin? The current Windows binary versions don't use X11.
I've not hear of a Linux binary that works (like an rpm). That would be 
handy,
as from time to time people ask about the possibility of installing LyX 
using

Cygwin. The Cygwin LyX X11 version for Windows needs to be built. I
don't think the Cygwin Tetex latex.exe is compatible with the Miktex 
latex.exe.
I tried to use Xemtex (another distro) latex.exe with LyX and I got an 
error.
I think any binary distro built for Cygwin would have the capability of 
running the tutorial. That is not the same as saying all binary distros run 
on Windows/Cygwin

and that some features or all features would work of an incompatible binary.

There is almost always a Readme which tells which platforms are supported
at the website where you download the binary. Did it say Cygwin? I think
the assumption you are making is more likely your uninvestigated surmise.

How to export in rtf?

[Nagy Gabor]

Hi, I am writing my thesis in LyX, but the reviewer would like to review
and comment it using ms word.

I could export from LyX to LaTeX, and then convert it into rtf with
latex2rtf (http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/).

Well, the result is quite bad. Not unusable, but it lacks almost all the
format and layout of the original.

At least the text is readable, so he can review that.

Is there another way to do this? I would like to have a result which looks
somewhat similar to the real output.

Another thing: I don't really know LaTeX, but when I have exported from
the LyX menu to LaTeX, and then tried to generate the dvi, from that LaTeX
file, it has reported many missing classes and stuff.

I wonder if these warnings and errors could be the reason why the rtf
looks so ugly.

What command line am I supposed to use if I would like to generate the
same dvi from the LaTeX file that I could generate from LyX?

Cheers,
Gabor

Symbol character for Mandriva 2006 (yet).

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Some days ago, I posted a message about some symbol characters that are no 
longer correctly displayed (in math mode) in my Mandriva 2006 LE box.  This 
bug still happens in version 1.4.0.

For instance, of all the lowercase greek letters, only \epsilon and \varrho 
are not rendered at the display.  Instant preview works fine.  Of the other 
symbol characters, some are also not correctly displayed, like \partial and 
\int.

Now I looked at the /usr/local/share/lyx/symbols file and found that at the 
section 

# symbols generated from fontmath.ltx

at the column charid-in-fallback-Xsymbol-font, \epsilon and \varrho are 
identified by 0 (zero), whereas all other greek letters have some other 
number.

I tried to assign some numbers to \epsilon in this column, but so far was not 
successful, and this is a fairly boring procedure.

Could someone please enlighten me on the meaning of this option and show me 
where I can find a complete table of the greek and symbol characters that 
could help me?

Thank you.

Re: anybody know how to change the enumerate alignment?

[Marcelo Acuña]

 How do you change the alignment of the enumerate
 environment? i.e. when I get to the roman numerals
 numbering depth I find the number/label alignment is
 to the right of the numeral which is not good for
 readability.

With tweaklist package you get control over enumerate,
enumerate*, description environment.
Good lack.

Given the output above, it looks like you have tried to use a version  
of the 1.3.x mac.bind file with 1.4.0. The names of some of the LyX  
functions have changed, and you need to use the current version that  
is included as a part of the LyX.app bundle. (Have you modified this  
file? If not, simply delete the copy in ~/Library/Application Support/ 
LyX-1.4/bind/, and that problem should be fixed.)


It's hard to diagnose what other problems you're having without the  
complete console.log output. I suspect you've done something similar  
with a .ui file, since that has changed as well. I don't know what  
causes the crash on edit.

I am currently putting together a cygwin package for LyX. When finished,

am packaging two flavors of LyX, one using the native GUI and the other X11.

Re: No VIEW-DVI in LyX Win32

[Charles Schulz]

Stephen,

Once again thanks for continuing the conversation.  The LyX I'm using is 
installed by 'lyx-1.3.7 win32 setup v2.exe' which I got from the binaries 
directory on the French LyX mirror (ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/).  I 
followed the install wizard except, as I stated before, when the wizard 
wanted to get some support package (LaTeX, Python, etc.) I had cygwin 
install the equivalent package and pointed the wizard to that binary. 
After resolving all the missing pieces according to the wizard, the 
installation seemed to go flawlessly and LyX came right up.  I have only 
run across two issues:
1) The cygwin X11 binary directory wasn't on my XP environment path so LyX 
wasn't able to find X11 graphics dlls for displaying embedded images. 
Adding the path to the XP environment and redoing ./configure in 
Resources/lyx solved this problem nicely.
2) The View/DVI menu entry is missing.

I'm currently using LyX on the system since I was able to find an out of 
band work around by exporting the LaTeX source, using LaTeX (the version I 
got from cygwin) to render it to DVI, and displaying it using xdvi (also 
from cygwin).  The only complaint I have with this, other than the 
inconvenience, is that TOC's don't get generated.  This is likely just my 
limited experience with LyX (I started using it Thursday).

You are right, I'm making some blind assumptions about what is causing the 
missing menu entry.  I don't really know why the menu entry isn't there, I 
just thought it likely that its absence was due to my hack of the install 
process, and LyX is looking for a resource that it can't find on my system 
and therefore not populating the menu.  If I knew what resource LyX is 
looking for when it is deciding to populate the DVI entry on the menu, 
then I can get what it wants and probably make it happy by fooling around 
with paths and rerunning the configuration.

I would prefer not to rebuild LyX for two reasons:
1) I prefer to leave that to the experts as they will more readily notice 
things that go wrong and will have some idea of how to fix them.
2) I'm interested in LyX as a user and therefore have little motivation to 
learn about the details of how it is written and built.

You may reasonably ask why I chose to pull cygwin packages rather than 
just let the wizard do it's thing.  The reason is stability of my machine. 
 I use cygwin everyday and trust it to be stable.  The cygwin people work 
to make sure that the packages work well together and the upgrade path is 
automated.  If I download a lot of packages from individual developments 
I'm not as confident that the versions I have on my system will play well 
together.

 Your suggestion that I follow either Enrico's or Kayvan's instructions

 feature.  This begs the question Why would anyone distribute a version 
of 
 a program which cannot even run the included tutorial?.



They wouldn't. Where and what binary distribution did you find intended to
be installed with Cygwin? The current Windows binary versions don't use 
X11.
I've not hear of a Linux binary that works (like an rpm). That would be 
handy,
as from time to time people ask about the possibility of installing LyX 
using
Cygwin. The Cygwin LyX X11 version for Windows needs to be built. I
don't think the Cygwin Tetex latex.exe is compatible with the Miktex 
latex.exe.
I tried to use Xemtex (another distro) latex.exe with LyX and I got an 
error.
I think any binary distro built for Cygwin would have the capability of 
running the tutorial. That is not the same as saying all binary distros 
run 
on Windows/Cygwin
and that some features or all features would work of an incompatible 
binary.

There is almost always a Readme which tells which platforms are supported
at the website where you download the binary. Did it say Cygwin? I think
the assumption you are making is more likely your uninvestigated surmise.

Keep it simple,
Stephen

LyX looks for the following programs xdvi windvi yap kdvi in that order.
It simply checks that an executable named like that exists in the PATH and
it picks up the first one it finds.

The results are then stored in ~\LyX\Resources\lyx\lyxrc.defaults where
a line

\viewer dvi xdvi

is put *if* xdvi is spotted. If your xdvi is not found, than either it is not
seen as an executable or it is not in your PATH.

If from a terminal you do

   cd C:/Program files/LyX/Resources/lyx
   sh configure

you can follow the entire process, and if you scroll back the window you
can see when it is looking for xdvi. If it is not found, you would see
other checks for windvi, yap, and kdvi.

Re: No VIEW-DVI in LyX Win32

[Charles Schulz]

Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.  However, I'm somewhat confused.  My current 
installation of LyX works just fine except I don't have the DVI rendering. 
 I'd assumed that this was because it couldn't find the DVI convert 
helper.  And this because I either don't have the needed helper on my 
system, or I messed up when configuring the system.  I've spent some time 
trying to hack the configuration files to try to get LyX to link to xdvi 
with no success.  Your suggestion that I follow either Enrico's or 
Kayvan's instructions implies that the binary distribution I'm using was 
built without this feature.  This begs the question Why would anyone 
distribute a version of a program which cannot even run the included 
tutorial?.  I guess the response I was expecting to the inquiry was 
something like LyX Win32 is built assuming DVI renderer xxx.  You need to 
get xxx from yyy and make LyX aware of it by zzz.

So I tried Enrico's instructions first and ran into the following issues:
The sourceforge cvs repository seems to be broken.  It won't let me log 
into qtwin as anonymous.  So I down loaded the source from the sourceforge 
web site, noticing that this was qt-3 not qt3.
The patch file mostly works except for some #includes in one file which I 
fixed up, and an #ifdef associated with multi head monitors which aren't 
of interest to me anyway.
Make fails because undeclared function wcsncpy in qprinter_win.cpp.  Also 
warns about /* within a comment so I'm guessing that this is a result of 
another patch incompatibility.  Note: the patch file does not touch 
qprint_win.cpp.
Gave up on this path.

Looked at Kayvan's suggestions for X11 build of LyX 1.4 which requires a 
down level of the gcc compiler and asked myself if I wanted to start down 
another path which will probably have problems and decided to write a 
reply to your note.

Is there a simple path to getting the DVI rendering working which 
doesn't require rebuilding LyX and qt3?

site, noticing that this was qt-3 not qt3.
The patch file mostly works except for some #includes in one file which I 
fixed up, and an #ifdef associated with multi head monitors which aren't of 
interest to me anyway.
Make fails because undeclared function wcsncpy in qprinter_win.cpp.  Also 
warns about /* within a comment so I'm guessing that this is a result of 
another patch incompatibility.  Note: the patch file does not touch 
qprint_win.cpp.

Gave up on this path.

Looked at Kayvan's suggestions for X11 build of LyX 1.4 which requires a 
down level of the gcc compiler and asked myself if I wanted to start down 
another path which will probably have problems and decided to write a reply 
to your note.


Is there a simple path to getting the DVI rendering working which doesn't 
require rebuilding LyX and qt3?

There used to be a LyX version built for Cygwin and you could download
and install it like Tetex or other Cygwin programs along with dependencies.

The Cygwin LyX was removed from the download programs months ago,
which made me speculate on what/where you got your LyX version, because
http://www.cygwin.com/

What Isn't Cygwin?
* Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to 
rebuild

your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.

* Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX 
functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps 
from source

if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
-

So I've used Claus Hentschel's port to Cygwin. But I see he has taken down 
his
instructions. Also Cygwin LyX and recently Enrico's method to install Cygwin 
LyX.
I had misgivings about your method but am not an authority. Cygwin LyX is 
very
rarely used and I only know of two experts. I've never seen a prior problem 
like

your reported for Cygwin.

The instructions are for using Msys which has its own versions of sh.exe and
sed.exe which are used for executing scripts and I've seen LyX installations 
for

native windows LyX fail because Cygwin was before Msys in the path and the
wrong versions of either/or sh.exe or sed.exe were invoked.

I don't know if that is a factor in the reverse situation. I think Enrico 
mentioned

Python and a symlink because I _think_ there is a Python script which reads
the Tetex or Miktex directory and populates Tex Information. And also I
think an sh script that sets up your Viewers and Path_prefix. The recent LyX
versions use Qt3 and are called native Windows versions, they don't use X11.

There is no assumption made that they will work on Cygwin and you will find
nothing in the documentation that says they can. ImageMagick is a LyX helper
program. When I recently built LyX140x using Enrico's instructions I had the
Cygwin version installed and the Windows version of ImageMagick installed.
I had to remove the Cygwin version in order for the Windows version to work.
I don't mean that Cygwin's version wouldn't work with Cygwin. So I gathered
that you might have installed Windows versions of programs that were not
compiled for Cygwin. I haven't seen this recommended in print. Sometimes
one encounters subtle conflicts with paths with spaces, a semi-colon 
delimiter

vs a colon delimiter and forward slashes vs. backward slashes.

Anyway, this is the long answer which boils down to I haven't seen your
approach supported in print. Therefore there is no documented way to
troubleshoot this problem. I don't think it is an exact analogy of the 
problem

Your suggestion that I follow either Enrico's or Kayvan's instructions 
implies that the binary distribution I'm using was built without this 
feature.  This begs the question Why would anyone distribute a version of 
a program which cannot even run the included tutorial?.




They wouldn't. Where and what binary distribution did you find intended to
be installed with Cygwin? The current Windows binary versions don't use X11.
I've not hear of a Linux binary that works (like an rpm). That would be 
handy,
as from time to time people ask about the possibility of installing LyX 
using

Cygwin. The Cygwin LyX X11 version for Windows needs to be built. I
don't think the Cygwin Tetex latex.exe is compatible with the Miktex 
latex.exe.
I tried to use Xemtex (another distro) latex.exe with LyX and I got an 
error.
I think any binary distro built for Cygwin would have the capability of 
running the tutorial. That is not the same as saying all binary distros run 
on Windows/Cygwin

and that some features or all features would work of an incompatible binary.

There is almost always a Readme which tells which platforms are supported
at the website where you download the binary. Did it say Cygwin? I think
the assumption you are making is more likely your uninvestigated surmise.

How to export in rtf?

[Nagy Gabor]

Hi, I am writing my thesis in LyX, but the reviewer would like to review
and comment it using ms word.

I could export from LyX to LaTeX, and then convert it into rtf with
latex2rtf (http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/).

Well, the result is quite bad. Not unusable, but it lacks almost all the
format and layout of the original.

At least the text is readable, so he can review that.

Is there another way to do this? I would like to have a result which looks
somewhat similar to the real output.

Another thing: I don't really know LaTeX, but when I have exported from
the LyX menu to LaTeX, and then tried to generate the dvi, from that LaTeX
file, it has reported many missing classes and stuff.

I wonder if these warnings and errors could be the reason why the rtf
looks so ugly.

What command line am I supposed to use if I would like to generate the
same dvi from the LaTeX file that I could generate from LyX?

Cheers,
Gabor

Symbol character for Mandriva 2006 (yet).

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Some days ago, I posted a message about some symbol characters that are no 
longer correctly displayed (in math mode) in my Mandriva 2006 LE box.  This 
bug still happens in version 1.4.0.

For instance, of all the lowercase greek letters, only \epsilon and \varrho 
are not rendered at the display.  Instant preview works fine.  Of the other 
symbol characters, some are also not correctly displayed, like \partial and 
\int.

Now I looked at the /usr/local/share/lyx/symbols file and found that at the 
section 

# symbols generated from fontmath.ltx

at the column charid-in-fallback-Xsymbol-font, \epsilon and \varrho are 
identified by 0 (zero), whereas all other greek letters have some other 
number.

I tried to assign some numbers to \epsilon in this column, but so far was not 
successful, and this is a fairly boring procedure.

Could someone please enlighten me on the meaning of this option and show me 
where I can find a complete table of the greek and symbol characters that 
could help me?

Thank you.

Importing a text file with German accented characters

How do I do this? If I use the import ASCII the accented characters 
appear as two junk characters. However, I can type the characters on the 
keyboard and they are displayed no problem. I just don't feel like 
typing in a 100 page German document by hand! There must be a way to get

Given the output above, it looks like you have tried to use a version  
of the 1.3.x mac.bind file with 1.4.0. The names of some of the LyX  
functions have changed, and you need to use the current version that  
is included as a part of the LyX.app bundle. (Have you modified this  
file? If not, simply delete the copy in ~/Library/Application Support/ 
LyX-1.4/bind/, and that problem should be fixed.)


It's hard to diagnose what other problems you're having without the  
complete console.log output. I suspect you've done something similar  
with a .ui file, since that has changed as well. I don't know what  
causes the crash on edit.

Re: No VIEW-DVI in LyX Win32

[Charles Schulz]

Stephen,

Once again thanks for continuing the conversation.  The LyX I'm using is 
installed by 'lyx-1.3.7 win32 setup v2.exe' which I got from the binaries 
directory on the French LyX mirror (ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/).  I 
followed the install wizard except, as I stated before, when the wizard 
wanted to get some support package (LaTeX, Python, etc.) I had cygwin 
install the equivalent package and pointed the wizard to that binary. 
After resolving all the missing pieces according to the wizard, the 
installation seemed to go flawlessly and LyX came right up.  I have only 
run across two issues:
1) The cygwin X11 binary directory wasn't on my XP environment path so LyX 
wasn't able to find X11 graphics dlls for displaying embedded images. 
Adding the path to the XP environment and redoing ./configure in 
Resources/lyx solved this problem nicely.
2) The View/DVI menu entry is missing.

I'm currently using LyX on the system since I was able to find an out of 
band work around by exporting the LaTeX source, using LaTeX (the version I 
got from cygwin) to render it to DVI, and displaying it using xdvi (also 
from cygwin).  The only complaint I have with this, other than the 
inconvenience, is that TOC's don't get generated.  This is likely just my 
limited experience with LyX (I started using it Thursday).

You are right, I'm making some blind assumptions about what is causing the 
missing menu entry.  I don't really know why the menu entry isn't there, I 
just thought it likely that its absence was due to my hack of the install 
process, and LyX is looking for a resource that it can't find on my system 
and therefore not populating the menu.  If I knew what resource LyX is 
looking for when it is deciding to populate the DVI entry on the menu, 
then I can get what it wants and probably make it happy by fooling around 
with paths and rerunning the configuration.

I would prefer not to rebuild LyX for two reasons:
1) I prefer to leave that to the experts as they will more readily notice 
things that go wrong and will have some idea of how to fix them.
2) I'm interested in LyX as a user and therefore have little motivation to 
learn about the details of how it is written and built.

You may reasonably ask why I chose to pull cygwin packages rather than 
just let the wizard do it's thing.  The reason is stability of my machine. 
 I use cygwin everyday and trust it to be stable.  The cygwin people work 
to make sure that the packages work well together and the upgrade path is 
automated.  If I download a lot of packages from individual developments 
I'm not as confident that the versions I have on my system will play well 
together.

LyX looks for the following programs xdvi windvi yap kdvi in that order.
It simply checks that an executable named like that exists in the PATH and
it picks up the first one it finds.

The results are then stored in ~\LyX\Resources\lyx\lyxrc.defaults where
a line

\viewer dvi xdvi

is put *if* xdvi is spotted. If your xdvi is not found, than either it is not
seen as an executable or it is not in your PATH.

If from a terminal you do

   cd C:/Program files/LyX/Resources/lyx
   sh configure

you can follow the entire process, and if you scroll back the window you
can see when it is looking for xdvi. If it is not found, you would see
other checks for windvi, yap, and kdvi.

Re: No VIEW->DVI in LyX Win32

[Charles Schulz]

Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.  However, I'm somewhat confused.  My current 
installation of LyX works just fine except I don't have the DVI rendering. 
 I'd assumed that this was because it couldn't find the DVI convert 
helper.  And this because I either don't have the needed helper on my 
system, or I messed up when configuring the system.  I've spent some time 
trying to hack the configuration files to try to get LyX to link to xdvi 
with no success.  Your suggestion that I follow either Enrico's or 
Kayvan's instructions implies that the binary distribution I'm using was 
built without this feature.  This begs the question "Why would anyone 
distribute a version of a program which cannot even run the included 
tutorial?".  I guess the response I was expecting to the inquiry was 
something like "LyX Win32 is built assuming DVI renderer xxx.  You need to 
get xxx from yyy and make LyX aware of it by zzz."

So I tried Enrico's instructions first and ran into the following issues:
The sourceforge cvs repository seems to be broken.  It won't let me log 
into qtwin as anonymous.  So I down loaded the source from the sourceforge 
web site, noticing that this was qt-3 not qt3.
The patch file mostly works except for some #includes in one file which I 
fixed up, and an #ifdef associated with multi head monitors which aren't 
of interest to me anyway.
Make fails because undeclared function wcsncpy in qprinter_win.cpp.  Also 
warns about /* within a comment so I'm guessing that this is a result of 
another patch incompatibility.  Note: the patch file does not touch 
qprint_win.cpp.
Gave up on this path.

Looked at Kayvan's suggestions for X11 build of LyX 1.4 which requires a 
down level of the gcc compiler and asked myself if I wanted to start down 
another path which will probably have problems and decided to write a 
reply to your note.

Is there a "simple" path to getting the DVI rendering working which 
doesn't require rebuilding LyX and qt3?

bibtex inserting % in url reference

[Russell Davie]

Hi
when Lyx is compiled to make a pdf, Lyx inserts a  % in the end of a hypertext 
reference!

the source and  output are here: 
http://home.exetel.com.au/randombits/lyx/lyx.html

how can this be fixed?

thanks in advance!

Place one (or several) blanks in the url, preferably after the slashes.

worked a treat!

and I thought it was a Lyx till I got the same with kile!

now is this a fault with bibtex, or latex? or what?

jed install problem

[Holger Lillqvist]

According to the packages database jed-nox (= text version) is
available only as unstable.

I have configured fink to use unstable (edited fink.conf, then run
selfupdate, index and scanpackages). However, after this the list
command doesn't include jed, and install fails: no such package. 

So, what could be wrong?

I'm sure it can with an appropriate script. Ask the sed masters on this list.

anybody know how to change the enumerate alignment?

[Jeoffrey Young]

hello,

How do you change the alignment of the enumerate
environment? i.e. when I get to the roman numerals
numbering depth I find the number/label alignment is
to the right of the numeral which is not good for
readability.

thanks..

It wants a version of libstdc++.so.6 that contains symbols in version 
GLIBCXX_3.4.6. Your library is probably too old. You can find out what 
versions it contains with

strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

If you have a clean fc4, and got the rpm 
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.0/lyx-1.4.0-1fc4_qt.i386.rpm, then it 
was not compiled with a clean fc4 installation and should be replaced.

You should be able to find an aiksuarus rpm in fedora extras.

Alternatively, you can issue the command

yum localinstall lyx-1.4.0-1fc4_qt.i386.rpm

in the directory where the rpm is placed. It will not install LyX (rpm
not signed), but it you tell you what packages are missing. With yum,
install the missing packages and then
run

rpm -Uvh lyx-1.4.0-1fc4_qt.i386.rpm

Stephen,

Thanks for the reply.  However, I'm somewhat confused.  My current 
installation of LyX works just fine except I don't have the DVI rendering. 
I'd assumed that this was because it couldn't find the DVI convert helper. 
And this because I either don't have the needed helper on my system, or I 
messed up when configuring the system.  I've spent some time trying to hack 
the configuration files to try to get LyX to link to xdvi with no success. 
Your suggestion that I follow either Enrico's or Kayvan's instructions 
implies that the binary distribution I'm using was built without this 
feature.  This begs the question "Why would anyone distribute a version of a 
program which cannot even run the included tutorial?".  I guess the response 
I was expecting to the inquiry was something like "LyX Win32 is built 
assuming DVI renderer xxx.  You need to get xxx from yyy and make LyX aware 
of it by zzz."


So I tried Enrico's instructions first and ran into the following issues:
The sourceforge cvs repository seems to be broken.  It won't let me log into 
qtwin as anonymous.  So I down loaded the source from the sourceforge web 
site, noticing that this was qt-3 not qt3.
The patch file mostly works except for some #includes in one file which I 
fixed up, and an #ifdef associated with multi head monitors which aren't of 
interest to me anyway.
Make fails because undeclared function wcsncpy in qprinter_win.cpp.  Also 
warns about /* within a comment so I'm guessing that this is a result of 
another patch incompatibility.  Note: the patch file does not touch 
qprint_win.cpp.

Gave up on this path.

Looked at Kayvan's suggestions for X11 build of LyX 1.4 which requires a 
down level of the gcc compiler and asked myself if I wanted to start down 
another path which will probably have problems and decided to write a reply 
to your note.


Is there a "simple" path to getting the DVI rendering working which doesn't 
require rebuilding LyX and qt3?

There used to be a LyX version built for Cygwin and you could download
and install it like Tetex or other Cygwin programs along with dependencies.

The Cygwin LyX was removed from the download programs months ago,
which made me speculate on what/where you got your LyX version, because
http://www.cygwin.com/

What Isn't Cygwin?
* "Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to 
rebuild

your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.

* Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX 
functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps 
from source

if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality."
-

So I've used Claus Hentschel's port to Cygwin. But I see he has taken down 
his
instructions. Also Cygwin LyX and recently Enrico's method to install Cygwin 
LyX.
I had misgivings about your method but am not an authority. Cygwin LyX is 
very
rarely used and I only know of two experts. I've never seen a prior problem 
like

your reported for Cygwin.

The instructions are for using Msys which has its own versions of sh.exe and
sed.exe which are used for executing scripts and I've seen LyX installations 
for

native windows LyX fail because Cygwin was before Msys in the path and the
wrong versions of either/or sh.exe or sed.exe were invoked.

I don't know if that is a factor in the reverse situation. I think Enrico 
mentioned

Python and a symlink because I _think_ there is a Python script which reads
the Tetex or Miktex directory and populates Tex Information. And also I
think an sh script that sets up your Viewers and Path_prefix. The recent LyX
versions use Qt3 and are called native Windows versions, they don't use X11.

There is no assumption made that they will work on Cygwin and you will find
nothing in the documentation that says they can. ImageMagick is a LyX helper
program. When I recently built LyX140x using Enrico's instructions I had the
Cygwin version installed and the Windows version of ImageMagick installed.
I had to remove the Cygwin version in order for the Windows version to work.
I don't mean that Cygwin's version wouldn't work with Cygwin. So I gathered
that you might have installed Windows versions of programs that were not
compiled for Cygwin. I haven't seen this recommended in print. Sometimes
one encounters subtle conflicts with paths with spaces, a semi-colon 
delimiter

vs a colon delimiter and forward slashes vs. backward slashes.

Anyway, this is the long answer which boils down to I haven't seen your
approach supported in print. Therefore there is no documented way to
troubleshoot this problem. I don't think it is an exact analogy of the

They wouldn't. Where and what binary distribution did you find intended to
be installed with Cygwin? The current Windows binary versions don't use X11.
I've not hear of a Linux binary that works (like an rpm). That would be 
handy,
as from time to time people ask about the possibility of installing LyX 
using

Cygwin. The Cygwin LyX X11 version for Windows needs to be built. I
don't think the Cygwin Tetex latex.exe is compatible with the Miktex 
latex.exe.
I tried to use Xemtex (another distro) latex.exe with LyX and I got an 
error.
I think any binary distro built for Cygwin would have the capability of 
running the tutorial. That is not the same as saying all binary distros run 
on Windows/Cygwin

and that some features or all features would work of an incompatible binary.

There is almost always a Readme which tells which platforms are supported
at the website where you download the binary. Did it say Cygwin? I think
the assumption you are making is more likely your uninvestigated surmise.

How to export in rtf?

[Nagy Gabor]

Hi, I am writing my thesis in LyX, but the reviewer would like to review
and comment it using ms word.

I could export from LyX to LaTeX, and then convert it into rtf with
latex2rtf (http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/).

Well, the result is quite bad. Not unusable, but it lacks almost all the
format and layout of the original.

At least the text is readable, so he can review that.

Is there another way to do this? I would like to have a result which looks
somewhat similar to the real output.

Another thing: I don't really know LaTeX, but when I have exported from
the LyX menu to LaTeX, and then tried to generate the dvi, from that LaTeX
file, it has reported many missing classes and stuff.

I wonder if these warnings and errors could be the reason why the rtf
looks so ugly.

What command line am I supposed to use if I would like to generate the
same dvi from the LaTeX file that I could generate from LyX?

Cheers,
Gabor

Symbol character for Mandriva 2006 (yet).

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Some days ago, I posted a message about some symbol characters that are no 
longer correctly displayed (in math mode) in my Mandriva 2006 LE box.  This 
bug still happens in version 1.4.0.

For instance, of all the lowercase greek letters, only \epsilon and \varrho 
are not rendered at the display.  Instant preview works fine.  Of the other 
symbol characters, some are also not correctly displayed, like \partial and 
\int.

Now I looked at the /usr/local/share/lyx/symbols file and found that at the 
section 

# symbols generated from fontmath.ltx

at the column charid-in-fallback-Xsymbol-font, \epsilon and \varrho are 
identified by 0 (zero), whereas all other greek letters have some other 
number.

I tried to assign some numbers to \epsilon in this column, but so far was not 
successful, and this is a fairly boring procedure.

Could someone please enlighten me on the meaning of this option and show me 
where I can find a complete table of the greek and symbol characters that 
could help me?

Thank you.

Given the output above, it looks like you have tried to use a version  
of the 1.3.x mac.bind file with 1.4.0. The names of some of the LyX  
functions have changed, and you need to use the current version that  
is included as a part of the LyX.app bundle. (Have you modified this  
file? If not, simply delete the copy in ~/Library/Application Support/ 
LyX-1.4/bind/, and that problem should be fixed.)


It's hard to diagnose what other problems you're having without the  
complete console.log output. I suspect you've done something similar  
with a .ui file, since that has changed as well. I don't know what  
causes the crash on edit.

I am currently putting together a cygwin package for LyX. When finished,
I'll upload it to a public place for downloads. If you are interested in
