Re: Lyx and prosper
I forgot to tell you. I once put a prosper guide on the departmental helpdesk. You can find it via http://www.stat.rice.edu/~helpdesk/howto. Hope it helps. I can send you the layout files if you can not find them.

HI I'm trying to use prosper with lyx 1.2.0a (cygwin versiion) and having problems compiling the file. I installed cluster and get 83 errors. On the other hand, the file cluster.tex compiles pretty good. Does any one has more experience with this package in cygwin enviroment to share? Thanks Eugenio
RE: LyX and Prosper
It is like miracle. I changed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Yesterday night, lyx could not find prosper but now it can! What can I say? Maybe lyx needs to receive order from authorities like Kayvan. :-) Anyway, thank you all for help. Bo > -Original Message- > From: Kayvan A.

LyX calls LaTeX, and if you have your environment variables set correctly, it should work. I can only think of one situation in which you would see this behavior: If you set TEXINPUTS in a shell and then use a Window-manager button to launch LyX. Then your LyX will be operating with the environment you had when you started your desktop, not what you set in the shell. Try running it from the same shell that you successfully did a latex of cluster.tex. The first thing you should do is Edit->Reconfigure and then try. -- Kayvan A.

Okay, Do this: Set the LaTeX stuff up in a private directory (/some/directory). Then: export TEXINPUTS=".:/some/directory:`kspepath tex`" This should add . and /some/directory to the standard list of directories that LaTeX searches. -- Kayvan A.

The problem is that I do not have the privilege to write to /usr/site/tkTeX/tex, so I have to use $TEXINPUTS to point to my personal folder. It turns out that latex can reach this folder via $TEXINPUTS so it can compile cluster.tex but lyx just reconfig packages under standard latex directory.

What should I do? Installing prosper needs to put the prosper2.cls in directory that latex can reach it (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/prosper/ for my TeX) and the prosper.layout in the directory that lyx can reach it, eg. $HOME/.lyx/layout/ or /usr/X11R6/share/lyx/layout/. Then run texhash to re-built TeX database and later open lyx and run Edit --> Reconfigure. That is what I have done. I have no problem compile the Dekel's cluster.lyx file with lyx.

RE: LyX and Prosper
Hello, I am trying to use prosper under lyx following this previous email. But I could not succeed: 1. What is prosper 2? prosper2.cls claims itself a newer version but the newest version on http://sourceforge.net/projects/prosper is 1.004. Is it a CVS file? 2. I set my $TEXINPUTS and add prosper directory. "Latex cluster.tex" is working OK but I could not let lyx recognize prosper class. During reconfig, it seems that lyx only check standard folders, not all folders in $TEXINPUTS. What should I do? Thank you very much.

Re: LyX and Prosper
Dekel's page contains useful info: http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/ I had to do some work to make it work for me. See below. Good luck, Bas Spitters --- Combining prosper and LyX. Tested on Linux (Redhat 7.0) and Solaris 7 LyX 1.1.6fix2 Get cluster.tar.gz for http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/ copy prosper.layout theorem.inc theorem-unnumbered.inc to ~/.lyx/layout Put prosper2.cls somewhere where Tex can find it, i.e. put it in one of the directories of the TEXINPUTS environment The same holds for dsfont.sty, if you want to run cluster.lyx. (I found dsfont.sty at: http://mechatro2.me.berkeley.edu/resources/latex_resources/latex/dstroke/) Do Edit/Reconfigure in LyX. Restart LyX Copy red-bullet-on-white.ps and similar files from the prosper-dir to the cluster directory. Try cluster.lyx Use View PDF. NOT: PDF (pdfLaTeX) Remark: This does not seem to work very well under xpdf 0.92 But it does work with acroread.
