LyX-1.1.6 compile problem on OSF
Hi everybody ! unlike for all the previous releases i'm unable to compile LyX-1.1.6 today: === Platform configuration: === DEC alphaev56 with OSF1 V4.0e == Some configure messages that might be of interest: but those were also present for the former LyX releases and they compiled OK. == checking for working aclocal... missing checking for working autoconf... missing checking for working automake... missing checking for working autoheader... missing checking for working makeinfo... found = Final configure messages: = === The following minor problems have been detected by configure. === Please check the messages below before running 'make'. === (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file) == LyX should work ok with version 0.89.0 of xforms, but it is an unproven version and might still have some bugs. If you have problems, please use version 0.88 instead. Configuration of LyX was successful. Type 'make' to compile the program, and then 'make install' to install it. == make messages: as a matter of fact the dir ~/lyx-1.1.6/sigc++/macros exists and acconfig.h is located in ~/lyx-1.1.6/sigc++ == No suffix list. <--- what about this ? Making all in intl Making all in po Making all in sigc++ Make: Don't know how to make ./macros/acconfig.h.m4. Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. The Makefile is attached. Can somebody help ?

LyX-1.1.6 compile OK, now first launch problem on OSF
Hi LyXers ! Allen's hint was the solution to the compiling problem. The make version (that -apparently- worked fine for former releases) was not the right one. Now with GNU Make version 3.74 and gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release) but also using --with-included-string with ./configure, the compilation was successfull. BUT: Now it seems unable to read the ~/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults it just created before during the first run (i removed the former version ~/.lyx directory). ??? I also tried to copy the lyxrc* files from ~/lyx-1.1.6/lib to the new ~./lyx directory, did not help. With no ~/.lyx directory LyX should run and create this dir and create the files in it, and lyxrc will be written later by selecting "preferences" (if one could - after a short welcome LyX dies), right ?

LyX 1.1.6. does not launch on OSF
Hi LyXers ! still/again trying to get the thing going. LyX is still unable to start (with the former version ~./lyx dir removed); is any other OSF user more lucky ? Now i tried the debug option, maybe this shows an obvious reason that jumps into the eye of some LyXexpert. Idea: unlike for the former versions installation is it perhaps also neccessary to remove files in the ~/tex/share/lyx dir that might be forgotten my the installation script ?

As you see i'm not installing in usr/local but in my user dir. Could that be an explanation for some path confusion and not finding the icons ? Now i found that the new ~./lyx/lyxrc.default is exactly the same as the one generated by lyx_1.1.5fix2. Is that OK ? I also tried with the lyxrc.default that is contained in the ~/lyx-1.1.6/lib dir, this too could not be read. Have there been changes in the file format of lyxrc.default ? I have the feeling that it might be rather a read (source, compiler ?) than a file format or location problem (i use gcc version 2.95.1).

table float with caption at the bottom
Hi Lyxers, Inserting table floats with the caption below the table does not work as in previous versions (before 1.1.6 fix2), I don't get it to work at all: insert -> floats -> table floats then write mycaptiontext, then insert table between "Table:" and mycaptiontext produces the following error: Paragraph ended before \@caption was complete. \end{tabular} mycaptiontext} ...

"long view" of digest messages with kmail
Hi: Not really a LyX question, but anyway: I did not get kmail to display the messages of the daily digest, even with smart or inlined attachments activated, only the icons and message number are listed and have to be klicked, very annoying because one has to memorize the message number to klick open each subject of interest one by one (while Netscape messenger lists all messages in full length and detail). Did anybody find a solution for this ? Thanks Peer

Re: fancy style: switch off header but not footer on first page
Thanks Herbert ! sounds logic but...I'm sorry, it seems not to work (see error message), LaTeX does not know about \afterpage. - are additional settings required besides fancyhdr? - Is DocumentClass "article" OK ? - I also did not find any doc about this.

A very nice feature seen on Papyrus/TOS (10 years ago) would also be very nice in LyX: to be able to change the first letter of a word from minuscule to Capital (and vice versa) via some accelerator key. -- Peer FRANK Skytec Aircraft Design Fuggerweg 19 D-86874 Mattsies mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://home.primusnetz.de/pfrank

suggestion for style selector
Hi Lyx ! Little annoying detail: The style selector where one chooses standard, itemize, section etc. has more entries than the length of the list. Often one has to scroll prior to be able to choose the style. IMHO I think the list could be made long enough to generally avoid scrolling and still fit in the window. Besides that work is just great fun with LyX Bye Peer

paper custom size zero margin dissapears
using LyX 1.2.1 (Aug 20) Hi folks, setting zero margins (e.g. top) for the document paper layout seem to vanish. It works once, but when the dialog is closed and reopened the entries have vanished and the 0 value is not used anymore and a default instead. A bug ? A workaround is to set a small non zero margin.

graphics conversion for preview
Hi ! LyX (1.2.1) is converting all the figures for each preview or update which is getting annoying for documents with plenty of figures. - isn't it possible to have this done only once (initial run or after any change on graphics files) and keep the converted files in a tmp directory ? -- Peer
Re: graphics conversion for preview
It is strange, same version - different behavior. Did I miss a switch? The bug was for TIF and XFIG files only ? My graphics files that are converted on each update are jpg's and png's - ps files are not converted. A tmp dir is created and kept after each LyX launch and the converted eps files are written there into the dir lyx_tmpbuf0. Everything stays there until they are removed after exiting LyX. So I still get all my jpg's and png's converted for each preview which of course takes very much longer than the required LaTeX run alone.

copy & paste problem with klipper
Hi LyXers, have just installed SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.0.5. Any copy and paste action makes Lyx (1.2.1) crash when klipper is running in the taskbar. This is resolved when klipper is stopped with right klick/quit. (not disabled) i have no more details for the moment, maybe klipper needs some settings tweeking for better cooperation with LyX. The versions: LyX: 1.2.1 Qt: 3.0.5 KDE: 3.0.5 Klipper: v0.9.2 Linux: 2.4.19-4GB SuSE: 8.1 Bye Peer
