1.4.3 windows binaries don't work?
hi there, I just downloaded and installed the new 1.4.3 windows binaries but when I try to start lyx, nothing happens. obviously windows can't execute the file... whats the problem? had anybody else similar experiences? hans

It doesn't work for me either. This is what happens. Once I install Lyx, when I click on run Lyx, nothing happens.

So your only chance is probably to load the algorithm package yourself (and

1) If I load algorithm (again) after hyperref, LyX (or LaTeX) ignores
it and always gives me the undefined control sequence error message.
in fact, LyX loads algorithm with the command \newfloat, before the
user preamble, I guess (I exported to plain LaTeX)
2) you can use a package declaration in the preamble only, not after
the \begin{document} command.
so I don't see an escape. like a dog eating his tail (?).
Is there a way not to load a (default) package in LyX? in this case I
could load it manually in the preamble. Is there a way to unload a
package in LaTeX in the preamle?
I also tried to export to LaTeX and cut the algorithm declarationand
and paste it in the preamble after the hyperref declaration, but I
messed things up.
otherwise I have to choose between bookmarks (which look pretty good

look for a solution later. but let me know if you have any idea, and

so I don't see an escape. like a dog eating his tail (?).
Is there a way not to load a (default) package in LyX? in this case I
could load it "manually" in the preamble. Is there a way to "unload" a
package in LaTeX in the preamle?
I also tried to export to LaTeX and cut the algorithm declarationand
and paste it in the preamble after the hyperref declaration, but I
messed things up.
otherwise I have to choose between bookmarks (which look pretty good
btw) and algorithms I think I'll choose the latter for the moment, and
look for a solution later. but let me know if you have any idea, and
thank you.

Diego
Re: 1.4.3 windows binaries don't work?
Dear all, I had similar problem, when I compiled it from source (linux, SuSe x64 10.0, GCC 4.0.2 20050901). I had to rename the configuration directory for successful lyx start. The configuration directory contained valid config for the 1.4.3svn! Alex Mukhtar Ullah wrote: > Same problem here. I was afraid to ask thinking I must be doing somethin > wrong. > > >

Me too. the "Dos" window flashes for a moment and disappewars immetiately. If I were on Unix-like systems (as I normally am) I would say it's a matter of permissions, because trying to call the program from a "dos" window I get an error messages sayng that it is not possible to start this program. Sorry, because I was showing the program to a Windows-W***d-IE addict who was very inpressed by LyX on my Linux system...

Indeed, oxon is somewhat of a weird bird: it has harvard as background, yet it
uses only the plain \cite command; so I found I can get my job done using the
standard citations provided by LyX.
Thanks to the makebst and LyX developers.

But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex, ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update them directly. As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ? Yes, that is correct. Once you have all the ancillary programs installed (although calling MikTeX "ancillary" is a bit of the tail wagging the dog), you need only upgrade LyX itself (using the more compact of the installers). Similarly, ImageMagick, Ghostscript/GSView and MikTeX can be upgraded independently. (I would be a bit hesitant to upgrade Aspell, as the connections from LyX to Aspell are hard-wired.) In point of fact, I don't know that I've ever upgraded ImageMagick, I upgrade Ghostscript at best sporadically, but I do try to keep MikTeX up to date, and that seems to work well for me. /Paul
Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.4.3 is relelased
Thanks Paul, you have been very patient with me; sorry for MikTeX, it was not really my feeling to call it an ancillary. I appreciate your tolerance for those beotians who are just using without knowing the details ... and being quite happy with that. Thanks again Paul "Paul A.
