Has anyone tried LyX in Rosetta 2 on a Silicon (M1) Mac? If so, what issues did you encounter? -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: set default bibliography path on Mac
Everyone, thank you for your help with setting the preferences on a Macintosh to use BibPath, a different .bib path by default. Based on the links you provided, this worked for me: 1. sudo su 2. vi /etc/launchd.conf 3. Make this a line in that file (no quotes): setenv BIBINPUTS BibPath 4. Reboot. David David R.

upgrade but keep customized stationery
After upgrading from version 1.6 to 2.0 (Windows Vista), I no longer have access to the words the system recorded whenever I checked spelling and told it to Add a word it flagged as misspelled. I have no idea where those words were stored. Is there a way I can get version 2.0 to use them? Any help would be appreciated. David

cross-reference inside table
When I put cross-references to sections inside the cells or caption of
a floating table, I get error messages like the following:
Missing $ inserted.
Details and references \protect \T
1\textsection \ref{sub:FWER-control...
...t \T1\textsection \ref{sub:FWER-control}
\protect \T1\textsection ...
Extra }, or forgotten $.
I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.
Any workaround or other help would be appreciated.

Re: cross-reference inside table
Hi David,
I found that your problem was not with cross-referencing but rather
with putting the § symbol in the cell or caption. A simple workaround
is to include this in your Preamble:
\DeclareMathOperator{\sect}{§}
Then you just type \sect in Math Mode.

selective compilation document versions
For a class I am teaching, I would like to be able to generate a PDF file that only has the displayed equations of a LyX file without losing the ability to generate a PDF file from the whole Lyx file, including text between displayed equations. In Word, I would accomplish this by considering everything except the displayed equations to be Tracked Changes and then printing either the entire document or just the document without the changes. I wonder whether there is a way to do this in LyX by somehow maintaining two versions of a LyX document within the same .LyX file. If not, is there a more generic LaTeX solution? David -- David R.

Re: BIBINPUTS under Windows??
Thank you very much, Siegfried. I added my .bib location to the Path variable, but that did not enable LyX to find the .bib file when I compiled.

Re: BIBINPUTS under Windows??
Thanks, Richard. It works now. In summary, this changes the default path to .bib files: 1 Start > Control Panel > System > Adanced > Environment Variables (as Siegfried instructed); 2 add a BIBINPUTS variable with the path to the bib files (as you instructed); 3 reboot.

change default path to .bib files
I keep my .bib files on a portable hard drive so I can easily work from multiple computers. The only way I have been able to get LyX to use these .bib files is to have it put the full path to my .bib directory in the .lyx file. The problem with this is that I share the .lyx file with other users whose computers do not recognize that path. Is there a way that I can instead set the preferences on my computer to use a different .bib path by default? That worked well in Scientific Word. I use Windows XP and Windows Vista with LyX 1.6.1.

\begin{definition}
In Scientific Word, I saved my file as portable LaTeX. From Lyx, I
imported the file as plain LaTeX. When I try to compile it,
\begin{definition} causes this error: LaTeX error: environment
definition undefined.
That problem is not addressed here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ImportingFromSWP
I am using Lyx 1.6.1 on Windows XP.
Any help would be appreciated.
Re: \begin{definition}
Thanks, Uwe. I filed a bug report. Unfortunately, adding the deleted \usepackage lines back to the LyX file did not prevent the error. David On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 4:31 PM, Uwe Stöhr uwesto...@web.de wrote: David Bickel schrieb: Thanks, Uwe. I reproduced the error using the following file contents. The problem is that the file exported from SWP has a huge amount of definitions in the document preamble that are not used in the further document. For example the counter MaxMatrixCols is set. This can only be done when the package graphics is loaded. When importing to LyX, LyX's tex2lyx converter checks what packages are used in the document. But in your document you don't have any graphic and matrix, therefore tex2lyx kicks out the unneeded package graphics and you then get an error when compiling your document that MaxMatrixCols is unknown. This has been proven useful because every unneeded package may cause problems or interferences with other packages. But although the export from SWP contains unneeded definitions, your file must work. Can you therefore please file a bug report at bugzilla.lyx.org (CC me there), I'll try for fix this for the next LyX release. How should I modify the preamble for proper import? Delete the packages from the preamble of your LaTeX documents that are not used in the further document. But to know that, you must be a LaTeX expert, therefore there's no general workaround. The easiest way is to add all lines starting with \usepackage that have been deleted by LyX to the preamble of the LyX document got by importing a TeX file. To see what packages you need to add, use in LyX the menu View-Source and use there the option complete source. Then compare the \usepackage lines with that from the LaTeX file and add the missing ones to the document preamble in LyX (menu Document-Settings). regards Uwe
