I would report the same problem... and I'm using Lyx-1.0.3 on RedHat Linux 6.0 with Xforms-0.88 properly installed (I think). If I rename the file.lyx.emergency as file.lyx, I have a correct file with all my eps figures inserted. But I hope in a solution for this annoying problem! Greetings Alessandro

Add the following command in TeX mode, at the beginning of the
bibliografy:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
This if you are using report style... if you are using article you
should change chapter with section. And if you are writing a document in
Italian language, you should put Bibliografia instead of Bibliography.
I hope this may help.

I indeed found that the correct Latex command to do that is
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
...
\end{sidewaysfigure}
but I had to modify the exported tex file by hand. Wouldn't be an useful
option in the insert-->float-->figure command in Lyx?
I would suggest a very useful Latex document about figures (using
graphicx, rotating, lscape... packages):
"Using EPS graphics in LaTeX2e Documents" by Keith Reckdahl.
I found it in the CTAN (check epslatex.ps or fepslatex.ps for the french
version):
http://tug.ctan.org/find.html
So... only a suggest!
Greetings.

Landscape figures
Hi there! I'd like to insert a figure in landscape orientation (and the caption too), but I want the page-number in the normal position (at the bottom of an A4 page). I tried the landscape orientation in the layout document, but (obviously) the page-number goes in landscape too. Any suggest? Thank you in advance! Alex

In each cell of the table I inserted an EPS-figure (but not INLINED) and finally I removed the lines from the table. Thank you for the help! Goodbye Alessandro
Figure position
Hi. I would like insert one floating figure in a document with 4 figures inside it (e.g. from 4 different .eps files). My question: is there a way to insert two figure side by side (not only up and down)? Can LaTeX accomplish this? Thank you for the help. Bye Alessandro
Old vs. new Lyx
Hi. A little question. I need to write a document with an old version of LyX (0.10.7): is the generated LyX file compatible with the newer version 1.0.3, that is can I read/write the document with the newer version? Thank you in advance. Bye Alessandro Coluccelli

You can get them at the following sites: Xforms: http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms libXpm: http://metalab.unc.edu/ see also the LyX home page (www.lyx.org) for details. You need the version 0.88 of Xforms (I tried with version 0.89 but it didn't work) and libXpm-4.7 (it worked fine for me... I have RedHat 6.0 too). Follow carefully the (easy) instructions in the readme files and you should not have any problem. Here is a quick installation guide: Xpm: you may untar in /usr/local then from inside the directory: xmkmf -a make make install make install.man Xforms: I 'untarred' them in /usr/src make install Then compile Lyx and enjoy it! Ciao Alessandro

Uh, sorry... the \addcontentsline command is AFTER \begin{thebibliography}
command. I forgot to tell you that I need to run Latex twice to have the
correct table of contents.
For the \pagenumbering command... it is only to have the index pages numbered
in a different format... but you can omit it.
Let me know if is it all ok! Bye
Alessandro

I usually put in the Latex generated file the following two lines:
\pagenumbering{roman} %% after the \begin{document}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}%% before
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
Here Bibliography is exactly the title of your bibliography section (if
you have changed it you should put the new name in the command above). Bye
