Re: Can't insert BibTeX Bibliography; TeXFiles.py fails.

2011-01-30 Thread Paul A . Rubin 
What happens if you open a DOS window in the lyx\Resources\scripts directory
and run TeXFiles.py there?  (If Python files are properly registered -- meaning
they show up in Explorer with a Python icon, which I won't even attempt to
describe -- you can just type 'TeXFiles.py return' to run it; otherwise,
you'll need to run 'python TeXFiles.py', and maybe supply the path to 
python.exe.)

Also, when you click Tools  TeX Information, is the file list empty?

It looks to me as if something is wrong with your Python installation, 
but I am not on Windows, so do not know for sure. You might want to 
check that the mentioned file is actually there. Probably the solution 
is to re-install LyX.



I'm also using JabRef (2.6) to push BibTeX entries to LyX which seems to work
except I get a [?] in the resulting .pdf wherever I have a citation. My
understanding is that I need to insert a BibTeX bibliography in the LyX document
to fix this and actually have the bibliography included in the .pdf, is this
correct?

   

Yes.

Thanks Richard,

I just reinstalled LyX using LyX-1.6.8-2-Installer.exe but I'm still having
the same problem.

I also checked to make sure TeXFiles.py file is there, which it is.

I also noticed the same error happens when I go to Tools  TeX Information.

Any suggestions? Should I try installing a full version of python?

Thanks again,
