[SOLVED] Conversion error message -- no PDF output
Hi, following Richard's hint -- LaTeX export and then manually running latex -- I was able to see that all links to embedded objects were incomplete. No idea what caused this, though ... After a bit of experimenting, I moved my LyX file to the LyX working directory, along with all source files for embedded objects (PDF, PNG and so on), double checked they were properly linked and voila, the PDF output was produced. I'm still puzzled as to why a working LyX document would all of a sudden refuse to compile. It was compiling alright three days ago, I only corrected some typos, and now all the object links were broken. Weird. Thanks, rh, -- Christian ### Hi, I have a LyX document that compiled just fine three days ago (pdflatex), but now I keep getting an error message with the description: basic_filebuf::_M_convert_to_external conversion error and no PDF output is produced. Only minor changes have been made since the last printing. I can not locate the problem. I deleted bits of my document, but no matter how much I remove, I keep getting the same error message. Any ideas what else I could try? I'm on LyX 1.6.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Many thanks, -- Christian Does LaTeX export work? I'm guessing maybe not. And if not, it's a LyX problem, somewhere. If so, then try running latex manually on the exported file. rh
