Can't Print to File in Lyx on Windows
Hello All, I am trying to print to a file and I keep getting the following message: Windows cannot find 'and'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, then click Search. This message is generated when lyx executes the following command: python -tt C:/Program Files/LyX14/Resources/scripts/clean_dvi.py MyTextFile.dvi tmpfile.out After I click OK on the above error message it gives me one more pop up box before it returns to the text: Please make sure your printer is set up properly. I am running Windows XP Home edition. I installed from the network install of lyx for Windows. The executable is lyx-143-5-bundle.exe Thanks. Craig
error compiling on Slamd64 11.0
Hi, I'm trying to compile LyX 1.4.3 on Slamd64 11.0. I used to be able to do this on Slamd64 10.1 and I recently did a reformat/reinstall of my system. It seems to get through the entire compile process and then barf on the final linking. I've tried forcing library paths to /usr/lib64 and so on, played with using either static or dynamic linking, tried the included boost library, and played with the pic option. I'm using the qt frontend. The linker barfing might be related to the boost library, as those are the objects that are listed near the error. Error messages seem to be: `.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost2io6detail22parse_printf_directiveIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPKcSsEESt5ctypeIcEEEbRT2_RKSD_PNS1_11format_itemIT_T0_T1_EERKT3_mh' referenced in section `.rodata' of support/.libs/libsupport.a(lstrings.o): defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost2io6detail22parse_printf_directiveIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPKcSsEESt5ctypeIcEEEbRT2_RKSD_PNS1_11format_itemIT_T0_T1_EERKT3_mh' of support/.libs/libsupport.a(lstrings.o) `.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9re_detail15_reg_format_auxINS0_19string_out_iteratorISsEEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPKcSsEESaINS_9sub_matchIS8_EEEcNS_12regex_traitsIcT_SE_RKNS_13match_resultsIT0_T1_EERPKT2_NS_15regex_constants12_match_flagsERKT3_RNS0_15case_flags_typeE' referenced in section `.rodata' of ../boost/libs/regex/src/.libs/libboost_regex.a(cregex.o): defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9re_detail15_reg_format_auxINS0_19string_out_iteratorISsEEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPKcSsEESaINS_9sub_matchIS8_EEEcNS_12regex_traitsIcT_SE_RKNS_13match_resultsIT0_T1_EERPKT2_NS_15regex_constants12_match_flagsERKT3_RNS0_15case_flags_typeE' of ../boost/libs/regex/src/.libs/libboost_regex.a(cregex.o) Any suggestions? thanks, Nathan
picturesize in PDF-file exported from Lyx
Hello, I've tried Lyx for the first time, and I have to mention, that I don't have any knowledge of LaTeX. I've created a documentation that included a lot of screenshots (PNG-files), and exported it as PDF-file. Everything worked so far, except the pictures. In Latex they are shonw in the correct size, but in the exported PDF-file the are much too big and very low quality. This does also happen when I convert them to EPS before importing them into Lyx. Setting the size in percent does have no effect at all, all I can do is set then to an exact size, for example a width of 17cm. Since I've imported about 60 pictures in this documentation this ist not a real choise because I then would have to set every single picture to a size I don't know exactly, and would have to do this by try and error. At last I should mention that I'm runing Kubuntu Linux 6.10 with Lyx-Qt 1.4.2 installed from the official Kubuntu-repository. Any suggestion what to do about this would be welcome.
