Re: Is uninstalling required ?
Hello I 've written Conversely, sh -c "latex file.tex" runs, as the command is search inside the string itself. Although this is true, it is not the reason why lyx didn't compile my imported LaTeX. First, I relied on the ps command in trying to figure out what was happening. But ps does not show the double quotes (if any) when displaying processes, I see. So I said but didn't know. I could at last compile some imported LaTeX, when commenting out \pagestyle{fancy} If uncommented, lyx freezes when making a dvi. I suppose that pagestyle makes no sense in lyx ? -- herve

Hello, I've mistyped : On a Mandriva, sh behaves the same way : sh -c "find -name toto" runs a quite different way from this sh -c find -name toto Sorry about typing in hurry. -- herve
Re: Is uninstalling required ?
Hi, I wrote : should I type make uninstall in Lyx-1.5.1 before make install in 1.5.2, or just make install in the most recent source tree ? I've uninstalled 1.5.1 (in case of...) and installed 1.5.2. LyX-1.5.2 can't compile tex files, either. It hooks in an endless waiting, as it forks(?) to run sh -c latex 'latexdoc.tex' When typed in a shell, sh -c makes latex to ask for the filename, so noone can reply anything here... Does anybody know what's going wrong here ? -- herve
Is uninstalling required ?
Hi there, I'm new again in LyX, currently 1.5.1 under Linux. I've been trying using it years ago, but I gave up because of difficulties in maintaining documents, especially when formulas had to be edited, as far as I can remember. Importing to and from LaTeX was quite poor, too. I've tried again : I just wanted to import a simple page and... It'been a long time since I hadn't seen a frozen app ;-) Let's say I'd better upgrade before trying again. So, my point : if I compile Lyx, should I type make uninstall in Lyx-1.5.1 before make install in 1.5.2, or just make install in the most recent source tree ? Regards -- herve
