Re: Cannot build lyx-1.3.1qt src rpm
OK, I found entries in the latest config.log refering to the qt compile fail.
It is looking for qt2 libs/includes?! Surely this isn't a qt2-based
frontend? I have specifically pointed it at /usr/lib/qt3 by setting
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 and using the configure switches specifically telling it
to go to /usr/lib/qt3/includes and /usr/lib/qt3/libs for all the qt devel

Spacing problems in document
I have a document that must have double spacing between all lines and paragraphs. It also needs doublespacing between section headings and the following paragraph. Within paragraphs the spacing is OK as is the doublespacing between paragraphs...unless I make that paragraph a heading. All I do is write a heading (ie, 1.2 The complexity of HIV) and hit enter, move on to the following paragraph. The problem appears only when I alter the heading so that it is not indented. All the paragraphs are indented. Magically, turning off indentation causes the heading to have a triple space above and below it. A no-no. How do I prevent this? How do I FORCE doublespacing no matter what? praedor

OT: problem with extracting images from pdf
In viewing a pdf the graphics appear fine, but when I extract the images using pdfimages, the jpegs are OK but all the pbm or ppm images turn out with reversed video (white is black and vice versa) but with the loss of SOME information, ie, a plot loses its black plot lines (they are not reversed to white, they either vanish or stay black - making them invisible with a black background). Is there a way to extract the images in a pdf without reverse video occurring? praedor

Hi.. I was just trying to do this yesterday on some slides actually..
and this is what worked for me - right before your Bibliography inset,
insert ERT and put {\large and right after the inset, insert another ERT
box and put } in there... so it'll look like:
ERT: {\large
BibInset
ERT: }
OK, I did get it to work but I had to eliminate the brackets. If I tried
entering the brackets as you have it above, it produces several errors. Just
adding an ERT: \large prior to my BibTeX inset worked. I assume that
adding something like ERT:\rm after the inset would go back to document
normal fonts/cancel the \large ERT?

Apparently not. Once again, adding the pair of { and } produces errors
and prevents processing. As with the font size command, dropping the
brackets may work but I would need to know what the counter tex command is
for \baselineskip10pt. Would it be \normalskip?
