That may be because the desktop does not know your specific PATH setting. (Only 
your sh knows).
To set it for the desktop, create the file ~/.pam_environment. (This expands
the file /etc/security/pam_env.conf on your login. Should be there, but maybe 
is empty)

The syntax of this file is described in man pam_env. For examples look into 
/etc/security/pam_env.conf

Define the PATH like this (On my ubuntu):
PATH OVERRIDE=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}

provided the path to your latex is the same

That may be because the desktop does not know your specific PATH setting. (Only

To set it for the desktop, create the file "~/.pam_environment". (This expands
the file "/etc/security/pam_env.conf" on your login. Should be there, but maybe 
is empty)

The syntax of this file is described in "man pam_env". For examples look into

Hi,

Is that right?  Which logfile should I check?  The
dialogue /documents/settings/fonts/use non-Tex fonts via XeTex/LuaTex,
is greyed out. The package fontspec needs to be installed to use this
dialogue box, it is installed in TexLive2011
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.sty) on
my system, but the box is still greyed out. Do you need to put
\usepackage{fontspec} in the preamble of every document to use XeTex ?

 Thanks Stefano,
 Document  Latex Log is greyed out

It won't be activated until you comiple something. Create a new Lyx
file with just a word in in it and then do Viewpdflatex (for
instance). After successful compilaiton you should be able to see the
log file


 Tools  Tex with show path is showing packages
 from /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/foo/foo.sty (for example)
 so it would seem lyx is not aware of TexLive2011 in /usr/local/

Right, I guess the problem is that lyx finds the ubuntu packages
before it hits texlive.

First of all: have you reconfigured Lyx (ToolsReconfigure)? It may
be all you need.

If that does not work, a couple of options:

1. Uninstall the Ubuntu text-live package. This may not be feasible,
though, because you probably have it as a dependence of Lyx and
possibly other packages
There is a way to replace Ubuntu's outdated texlive with a dummy
package but I am afraid I forget how to do it. Other people on the
list may know (I left Ubuntu some time ago).

2. Check the order of your executable path in your $PATH environmental
variable. In fact, open a terminal and do

$which pdflatex

you should get something like:
/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex


and then do something like:

$kpsewhich fontspec.sty


and you shoud get
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.sty

 If not, try

$printenv $PATH

Do you see the path to the texlive2011 installation occurring before
the path to the Ubuntu installed executables?

Hi, The paths are all correct,  Starting lyx from the terminal and
reconfiguring did the trick as far as using TexLive2011 goes I just
can't start Lyx from the desktop icon if I want to use TexLive2011,
but I can live with that. It can be done but time is short . There are
other problems but I will post separate question about them. \

Hi,

Is that right?  Which logfile should I check?  The
dialogue /documents/settings/fonts/use non-Tex fonts via XeTex/LuaTex,
is greyed out. The package fontspec needs to be installed to use this
dialogue box, it is installed in TexLive2011
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.sty) on
my system, but the box is still greyed out. Do you need to put
\usepackage{fontspec} in the preamble of every document to use XeTex ?

Hi, The paths are all correct,  Starting lyx from the terminal and
reconfiguring did the trick as far as using TexLive2011 goes I just
can't start Lyx from the desktop icon if I want to use TexLive2011,
but I can live with that. It can be done but time is short . There are
other problems but I will post separate question about them. \

configuring lyx to use an alternative Texlive version

[Alasdair Reed]

I would like to configure Lyx to use Texlive2011 in ubuntu 11.10, to
use the latest version of Xetex. My system installed Texlive  is
Texlive2009 I have installed Texlive2011 as per the Texlive page
http://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-170003.1.1
in /usr/local/texlive. Added all the suggested lines to my .bashrc.
Starting Xetex in the terminal produces the message
Code
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-0.9997.5 (TeX Live 2011)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
Code ends
I imagine this is ok. How do I configure lyx to find texlive2011
in /usr/local/ instead of using the system default?

Configuring LyX and Sweave for R on a Windows platform

[Dan]

Hi.

I'm trying to configure Lyx to work with Sweave on a Windows XP platform. I 
have done various searches of the web and found some information on how to do 
this, but it appears as though all the information I can find is specific only 
to *nix systems. 

I don't have time to waste trying to get things up and running. This should be 
an automatic thing in LyX (under Windows or *nix). I think that life would be 
lots easier if I could just point Lyx to my R directory and my MikTeX 
directory and then it just self-configures to allow Sweave use!

Can this be done? Otherwise, is there any 'specific' information giving the 
step-by-step procedure for making LyX and R work together via Sweave under a 
Windows environment?

Thanks,
Dan.

Hello,
I have just spent some time to solve this configuration problem. I have been
able to make it work, starting from information provided by other Lyx users
and tuning them a little bit. I summarize on my blog the necessary
operations:

Re: Configuring LyX for Arabic or Persian

[amp3030]

My LyX version is 1.5.1 (This is what Synaptic offered to me). I want to
write the entire document in Persian/Arabic. I followed exactly LyX's
official wiki for Arabic language. (Instructions for Persian were
incomplete.) I followed instructions for configuring Arabic in linux using
ArabTeX (I made bind file, etc). I can see some outputs, though very buggy.
But I cannot extend it to Persian (Farsi). What I really want is Persian,
not Arabic. Thanks again.

Tomoharu run into one major problem -- lyx cannot seem to locate the
Tomoharu latex/pdflatex that is installed. I have a standard teTeX
Tomoharu distribution installed, and other TeX programs (e.g.
Tomoharu TeXShop) seem to see it fine. However, in the preferences
Tomoharu panel in Lyx under Converters, there is no command specified
Tomoharu for Lyx-DVI or Lyx-PDF.

Tomoharu Running reconfigure from the edit menu results in:

Tomoharu checking for a LaTeX2e program... (latex latex2e) +checking
Tomoharu for latex... not useable +checking for latex2e... not
Tomoharu useable checking for the pdflatex program... (pdflatex)
Tomoharu +checking for pdflatex... not useable checking for a LaTeX
Tomoharu - LyX converter... (reLyX) +checking for reLyX... yes

I think that lib/configure sees latex and friends, but decides that
they do not work. A reason for this may be that latex does not work as
root. Did you try to run EditReconfigure as a normal user?

configuring Lyx in Darwin

[Tomoharu Nishino]

I finally managed to get xfree86 and Lyx compiled and running rootless in
MacOSX/Darwin.  And Lyx runs, but I have run into one major problem --
lyx cannot seem to locate the latex/pdflatex that is installed.  I have a
standard teTeX distribution installed, and other TeX programs (e.g.
TeXShop) seem to see it fine.  However, in the preferences panel in Lyx
under Converters, there is no command specified for Lyx-DVI or Lyx-PDF.

Running reconfigure from the edit menu results in:

checking for a LaTeX2e program... (latex latex2e)
+checking for latex... not useable
+checking for latex2e... not useable
checking for the pdflatex program... (pdflatex)
+checking for pdflatex... not useable
checking for a LaTeX - LyX converter... (reLyX)
+checking for reLyX... yes

..

checking for a DVI previewer... (xdvi)
+checking for xdvi... no

..

So, I am guessing that for some reason Lyx is not seeing the teTeX
installation.  Is there any way to force the search path on Lyx?  How
does one fix this?

Apologies if this is a really novice question, but it's been years since
I got anywhere near Unix.

Thanks.

Are they in your path?

Try:
set path
env | grep PATH

or something similar.  Actually,

which latex

should be all you need to know if it's visible or not.

Are you starting LyX from an icon on your desktop or from a command line?
If the former and it works when using a command line then you have some
environment variables (like path) that aren't set when LyX is started from
the icon.

You could just try rerunning Edit-Reconfigure from a running LyX as your
installation environment variables may have been different to those used
for the user account you are now using.

a stupid question but have u actually made it exist in proper
directories, you know /usr/include and such... /usr/lib ... and then
did a ldconfig?

Configuring Lyx

[Tom Beale]

I am trying to configure Lyx 1.1.5 on Redhat 
6.2. It brings up the error message that it cannot find the Xpm or 
Xforms Libraries. I therefore installed the respective RPM's using 
KPackage but this didn't make any difference. I have checked that 
these are the versions of Xpm and Xforms needed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tom.

Re: Configuring Lyx

[Tom Beale]

I have managed to make it happy over xforms and libxpm, however it is still
complaining about finding forms.h - I thought this was a file within xforms?
I did try installing xforms 0.89 instead of 0.88, but that didn't seem to
help.

Thanks very much

Tom.

Configuring Lyx

[Thomas.Beale]

I am trying to configure Lyx 1.1.5 fix 1 on Suse Linux v6.4.   When I
get to the configure stage I get the error message that it can't find my
X-windows libraries and/or headers.   I have tried specifying there
location with 

./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 

but this produces no change.Do I need an additional set of libraries
that I have not installed?

Thanks

Have you installed the package 'xdevel'?
