AFAIK, it doesn't matter what the setting is in the Win version,
aspell is always used.

You installed aspell and the dictionary in C:\Aspell, as per the

Now I'm having this same problem with my thesis.

The small difference is that I'm using the ieeetr number only 
citation style, and a protected blank after the author name
if I use it in the text because I don't want a numbered reference
starting a new line. The author name gets flushed to the margin,
with the citation hanging over, like:

...Smith~[7],
| - this is the margin, protected blank also shown

I'm already using the cite package and it doesn't help.
This is with MiKTeX and LyXWin 1.3.6.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

He could try, but it's a long shot: upgrade from RHL9 to FC4 is a
_gigantic_ leap of faith, most of the people on Fedora will flatly 
dismiss it as unsupported.

I'd just back up your home dir and do a fresh install of FC4
(it really is a nice system after all).

No need for that, LyX is in Fedora Extras, just get it through yum
(still 1.3.5 though, but I didn't find any improvements in 
1.3.6 all that important to warrant an upgarde).

How about, working as root:

# ./configure

Look through the output, does it find the classes ok? Then run

wasysym and LyX 1.3.6 for Windows

I've upgraded my trusty 1.3.5 on Win2k, and my thesis 
no longer compiles. I noticed there were already some
reports on the wiki about the problems with wasy symbols 
eairler, as there is a claim these are resolved:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel&m=11182490653

but this is certainly not the case where I'm sitting:

Font U/wasy/m/n/10=wasy10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found

I understand this might be also a MikTeX bug since it
works ok on a Linux box, and .tfm files really are
missing in MikTeX, but it still beats me why the wasysym
package should be loaded after amsmath to redefine 
\int & co., shouldn't it be the other way around? My
thesis compilation worked ok without the wasysym

I can only recommend the same.

Although a better way would be building a RPM with the lyx.spec
included in the tarball.

In the meantime, you can also use the 1.3.4 packaged RPM from 
the old fedora.us repository and install it and its dependencies

I guess you could use the prettyref package and define the eq: label 
cross-reference style to your needs (see the prettyref documentation), 
and then choose "Formatted reference" from the drop down menu in the 
cross-ref window.

The downside is that, although likely, you can never know for ceratin

Inserting the brackets manually around the cross-ref is a safer bet in

You have to install the elsart class manually, it doesn't usually come

author gateway. Bibtex style files are distributed separately for some 
reason, don't forget those.

with elsart this will give you authors on separate lines with address for 
each individual, which is senseless if they are from the same institution. 
So yeah, ERT seems to be the only way to get the other output style with

I've done something like that with xfig: 

import your eps first (graph, coordinates, text, whatever), then import the
bitmap over it, and finally export the whole thing as eps again.

I'm still confused with the dpi values, it seems xfig defaults to different ones
when importing eps and bitmaps (72 vs 80 vs 96, don't remember exactly which is
which), so you might have to scale accordingly.

There are probably other/better ways, but this worked for me so far.

installed in a directory with no spaces, i.e. D:\GnuWin32 and put

Word import via wvWare in Windows

[Milos Komarcevic]

I've noticed that the GnuWin32 project ported wvWare for converting Word 
documents, and LyX supports it, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here are 
the results.

As expected, doesn't work out of the box because wvCleanLatex that LyX 
calls is a shell script (a bit useless since GnuWin32 doesn't provide a 
shell???). Tried invoking it with MSYS sh.exe that comes with Ruurd's port 
of LyX, but no dice, that sh.exe doesn't understand commands like 
'basename' etc. So I did my own Win .bat file (very primitive, equivalent 
to only the last line of the original script, i.e. doesn't do any input 
checks, please feel welcome to extend it).

Here goes:
- create GnuWin32\bin\wvCleanLatex.bat with the following line
 @ wvWare -x %~dp0..\share\wv\wvCleanLatex.xml -d %~dp2 -b %~n2 %1 > %2
- make sure GnuWin32\bin is in your path
- reconfigure LyX, restart and you're ready to go (there still the isuue of 
a .relyx1 file not being cleaned up)

If you found this useful, could someone please add it to the Wiki.

reLyX on Windows

[Milos Komarcevic]

Found yet another quirk while importing LaTeX:
in \lyx\bin\reLyX.bat you really need to change all ~p0 to ~dp0 again, 
like in the old 1.3.3 configure.bat; it might not be absolutely 
necessary, but it's better to be safe if you're running across different 
partitions?

With the addition of \lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx.cmd as per the Wiki, 
the importing works mostly OK on Windows (the *.relyx1 file doesn't get 
cleaned up though, but the others do?!)

My feeling is that original LyX config files shouldn't be touched unless 
absolutely necessary, as that is difficult to follow and maintain. 
Instead, we should concentrate on enabling proper tools and utilities on 
the Windows platform. There is already a good enough workaround for this 
problem, until MSYS updates its tools. If simple sed.exe replacement 
doesn't work for you (as it doesn't for me), try to

- install GnuWin32's sed with its installation package
- add path_to_gnuwin32\bin to your %PATH%
- rename \lyx\bin\sed.exe to something else

Although there are still some minor issues with the math mode (offset of

Don't do this! It doesn't matter in which path/folder it is installed. Two 
installations are one too much and could cause troubles.
I agree with this one. If you already have Acrobat Reader installed in
C:\Program Files you could use something like the attached acroread.bat
batch file to launch it. Just put it in a regularly name directory
without spaces (like C:\Adobe or even where your LyxWin32 lives)
and use it as the pdf viewer in LyX preferences.
Avoid to edit the configure.bat manually!!!
Actually I did have to edit the configure the configure.bat manually.
The problem is when LyX and user's %HOME%/.lyx do not live on the
same drive - Edit->Reconfigure fails from within LyX then.
A minor change from %~p0 to %~dp0 everywhere in the batch file fixes that.
I already posted this some time and was hoping Ruurd will consider this
for future versions.
So the only remaining mystery for me is the usage errors from updated sed 4.0.9

Are you sure this is sed 4.0.7?  What happens if you open a DOS prompt
and type sed --version?
This definitely is a real problem, I was seeing this too on  Win2k
with sed 4.0.9 if I just replaced the .exe and .dll's in the lyx/bin
directory. Installing sed with the GnuWin32 installer worked fine and
I still can't figure out what the difference is. See

RE: Lyx 1.3.3 for Windows startup error

Hi Rob,

At 18:14 14/03/2004, you wrote:
Try installing the newer sed from sed.exe direct onto C drive. Ensure
that the GnuWin32 bin directory is in your path.
My path is:

For a quick check to see if you are using the newer sed after this:

From within lyx 1.3.3 - reconfigure (1.3.2 you will need to open a cmd
window and cd to c/??/lyx/share/lyx and run configure.bat)
Check the resulting log in the shell window
If it has gone through without an error and also you can now read the
latex configuration file (from lyx help menu) then all is ok.
However, if it after running reconfigure the resulting listing shows
towards the end "unknown option to s" or something along those lines
then it is still using the older (supplied by Ruurd) version of sed.
installing sed with the GnuWin32 setup package and putting it in the
path really does work.
I don't know how this is different to just replacing sed.exe and associated
dll's manually in the lyx/bin directory as that one is added to the path
by Ruurd's configure script anyway, and that results in sed usage errors
as someone already reported on the list.
Thanks for the tip,

Re: Lyx 1.3.3 for Windows startup error

Paul,

1.  Open a DOS prompt in the LyX bin directory and type sed --version.  If
it reports version 3.something, go to
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=
16429, download sed 4.0.9 (or the latest 4.x release), and install that
version of sed.exe over the one in the bin directory.  Then try running
configure again.
I never got this to work; I replaced sed.exe with newer 4.0.9 and
also added the required libiconv2.dll and libintl3.dll in the lyx bin
directory, but configure fails with usage errors from sed.
Does sed replacement actually work for you (i.e. you're sure cygwin's
sed is not used instead)? Maybe I'm missing something somewhere...

In Ruurd's Win32 version it is important that Acrobat Reader 
(and LyX, LaTeX, Ghostscript etc) is installed in a directory 
without any spaces, I remember having a similar problem when 
that was the case.

I use  MikTeX under Windows with Ghostscript/ImageMagick/etc. I also found
put the class paper.cls and it's layout in d:\programme\texmf\tex\latex\base
as I did in Linux. Ater taht I turned to MikTeX Options and refreshed the

the layout should go I think in \lyx\share\lyx\layouts (or ~\.lyx\layouts)
followed by LyX reconfigure, otherwise it doesn't know where to pick it up.

I have no such problems here on Win2k, it configures ok from the DOS window

The problem is solved by replacing the two instances of "%~p0" with "%~dp0"

Couple of things I've noticed:

- output of LaTeXConfig.lyx is still zero because of the old version of sed

- there is now an additional console window open when LyX is started, which

Re: DVI Viewer gone missing from menu

[Milos Komarcevic]

I have Lyx 1.3.2 Win32 installed on my Windows XP system and had access 
the the DVI menu option under "View>DVI" until I tried editing the file 
conversion preferences.  Now the DVI option is gone and I can't get it 
back (although Yap is listed with path under the viewer preferences).

Any suggestions?
Open the file ~/.lyx/preferences (~/ being your home directory, possibly
C:\Documents and Settings\username) and delete the lines beginning with
\converter dvi ps

\viewer dvi

That should bring you back to default configuration.

On the note of viewing images in documents, search the list, it's a known 
problem
with the convert script calling ImageMagick.

 Also, now that I think of it, can Lyx 1.3.2 be upgraded to 1.3.3 under 
the Win32 port (without too much unix understanding)?
It can't be "upgraded". One would need to recompile and repackage it from 
scratch.
One would need the non-commercial Qt library for Win32 in order to do that.
If somebody does that, then we can just replace it with the newer version.

Curious, there's no such line in my profile (also default).


Do you have  base-files-1.1-1 installed?
That comes with /etc/profile.default that has that line in it,
and hence my /etc/profile too

Try commenting out the export HOSTNAME line in /etc/profile and see if
the problem disappears.


That did solve the problem and LyX started successfully.
So now we know which 'tr' is hanging, can we find out why is it so?
It does not hang when I open just a bash window, and the HOSTNAME var
is set correctly.


FWIW, I've bumped into situations where something worked ok in DOS but
not Cygwin, or vice versa.  It turns out that permissions for the same
file may be different (or at least appear different) between DOS/Windoze
and Cygwin.  (This only applies to Win 2K and XP, and maybe NT.)  I'm
wondering if maybe lyxwin32, running under DOS rather than Cygwin, tries
to invoke some other program for which it lacks, or appears to lack,
permission.


I've tried this with or without CYGWIN=ntsec, no difference.

I'm cc'ing this to the cygwin list also, maybe somebody can shed
some new light on this.

So what's the difference between lyx.exe and lyxwin32.exe?
lyxwin32.exe will do the following to ensure a proper environment:

1) Running all startup scripts, i.e. the system wide /etc/profile
   all script in /etc/profile.d as well as your personal
   $HOME/.profile and your $HOME/.bashrc.
2) Executes the file /etc/lyxprofile
3) It starts lyx.exe sending error output into the file /tmp/lyx.out

So any command in any of those files will be executed before calling lyx.
lyxwin32 does not call tr a standard unix command (translate). It seems that
that tr command does not terminate and therefore lyxwin32 can't proceed to
start lyx.exe at the end. So who does call that? SO why does it not exit?


The only one I could find is the line

export HOSTNAME=`hostname | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`

in /etc/profile (that is the default one, hasn't been changed).
But that doesn't seem to cause problems and hang when I open a
bash window, start XFree86 and xterm or anything else,
just with lyxwin32.exe
The only change I did to /etc/lyxprofile is comment out the 'export HOME=...'
as I've already set it as my Windows env. variable.



> There seem to be two processes started when I type 'start .\lyxwin32.exe'
> from the DOS command window: tr.exe and lyxwin32.exe (both in

So why do you use a DOS window? Try my startlyx.bat file to start Lyx using
lyxwin32.exe! There will be used the run command!


Because 'start .\lyxwin32.exe' is in rynlyx.bat and that batch file is
run from the DOS/Windows environment, no? I am just trying to do whatever
runlyx.bat is doing step-by-step.

startlyx.bat fails in exactly the same way (tr.exe + lyxwin32.exe hang)

In both of these cases, no /tmp/lyx.out is being created at all.


You can start the X server first. Then open a bash window and in that window
enter
lyxwin32
Watch the screen for output. After that look do
cat /tmp/lyx.out
to have a look into the error output written by Lyx itself.


This works and starts LyX ok! ??? The output is:

'Command is: |lyx /tmp/lyx.out|'

and /tmp/lyx.out is created and empty.

So I don't really understand what is going on??? For what it's worth,
I'm running Win2k+SP3 and have CYGWIN env. set to
'binmode ntsec tty nosmbntsec'
Is there more switches on lyxwin32.exe to get more debugging info?

ANNOUNCE: Lyx 1.3.0 for Windows

shortcut
to runlyx.bat (attached below). The X server is started ok and then it 
starts the
wrapper lyxwin32.exe, but nothing happens afterwards (the process lyxwin32.exe
is present in the task manager).

If I start with 'lyx' from cygwin bash shell and a running X server everything
is fine.

Is this a known problem and how do I fix it?
I have the latest lyxsupport-1.7 installed.

Re: Which drawing program?

Xfig does the job for me, it just takes a bit of 
time getting used to. Haven't tried Dia or Sodipodi yet,
but they also look promising.

As far as equations in figures go, I use psfrag:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/psfrag.html
It lets you replace any text in the eps figure with any 
latex code with some ERT in the figure float in Lyx. 

The only drawback with psfrag is when you want PDF output: 
you have to do the latex->dvi->ps->pdf route, which means 
no hyperlinks. I don't think you could do pdflatex or dvipdfm.
I wish that someone could prove me wrong.

Read the bibunits documentation. It is not enough to just load the package.



Ok, so I have in the preamble:

\usepackage{bibunits}
\def\@bibunitname{\jobname.\the\@bibunitauxcnt}
\let\stdthebibliography\thebibliography
   \renewcommand{\thebibliography}{%
   \let\chapter\section
   \stdthebibliography}

In the master document I have at the beginning in ERT:

\bibliographyunit[\chapter]
\bibliography*{mybibfile}
\bibliographystyle*{ieeetr}

and then at the end of each chapter I added a \putbib in ERT.

When I compile, questionmarks appear instead of references, the
"Bibliography" headings appear at the correct place and level, but
there is just nothing there.

When I remove the BibTeX insets from the end of my chapters, I cannot
compile at all, I get some errors after the 3rd latex run.
I don't want to have to remove the BibTeX insets anyway, because then I can't
cross-reference without ERT in LyX while I'm writing.

(I think the problem is because the BibTeX insets define a global 
\bibliography,
so, according to the bibunits documentation, you have to use \cite* instead of
\cite which would mean even more ERT.)

This bibunits stuff is getting too complicated, I'm tempted to ditch 
koma-script
and stick with chapterbib or put all the references at the end...

I can do all the available AMS math environments from the menu

Do you have the amsmath Latex package? You maybe need to run

Re: Special math characters

Definitely something strange going on here...

without the script in mathed.lyx, I have the following
in my $LYX_XFONTS/fonts.dir:

-unknown-cmex10-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific

msbm10.pfb
-unknown-msbm10-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific

These were found and configured by $LYXDIR/configure after
installation I presume.

When I add $LYX_XFONTS in the catalogue of my xfs (I'm running
RH 7.3) and restarting xfs,X and lyx, I get most of the symbols
except a couple in Table 8.11 - Large delimiters.

I then try to run the script from mathed.lyx, with some changes in 
fonts-xlfd (eufr10 and eusr10 are eufm10 and eusm10 on my system)
and I get the following $LYX_XFONTS/fonts.dir:

15
cmr10.pfb -bluesky-cmr-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-adobe-fontspecific

logobf10.pfb
-hoekwater-logo-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific

But when I restart xfs,X and lyx - I'm back to square one - 
none of the symbols that were enabled in the previous step 
show up any more (even though all of these show up as present in
xlsfonts).

What's going on? Maybe wrong definitions in fonts-xlfd?

Re: LyX does not run BibTex

[Milos Komarcevic]

Hi Claus,

I'm running MikTex 2.0up1 and it seems to run fine manually.
It looks like LyX doesn't sense my bibliography file for some reason,
as it is not listed in the .dep file.

Here is also the beginning and the end of my .tex file from the tmp-directory:

\batchmode
\makeatletter
\def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}
\makeatother
\documentclass[12pt,english]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{a4}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage{subfigure}

\makeatletter

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}

%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{psfrag}
\renewcommand\floatpagefraction{.9}
\renewcommand\topfraction{.9}
\renewcommand\bottomfraction{.9}
\renewcommand\textfraction{.1}
\setcounter{totalnumber}{50}
\setcounter{topnumber}{50}
\setcounter{bottomnumber}{50}

\makeatother
\begin{document}
...
\bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}

\end{document}

which looks allright to me... or does it?
If there is a line \def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}, maybe the full path is 
not necessary
in the \bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}, just as it doesn't show up in 
the lines
that include eps figures (only the filename).

Thanks,

Milos

LyX does not run BibTex

[Milos Komarcevic]

My LyX 1.1.6fix2 for Win32 does not seem to run bibtex at all after
the first latex run, although it runs latex for 3 times.
I had no problems inserting the bibtex references and citations, and
my .bib file is in the same directory as my .lyx file.
When I do a manual latex-bibtex-latex-latex sequence on the exported tex
file, everything is fine, so it doesn't seem to be a tex system problem.

Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Thanks,

Milos

P.S. I also run LyX 1.1.6fix2 under Linux where everything works flawlessly
