Re: lyx-users Digest 8 Jun 2006 00:42:35 -0000 Issue 1922
I think the problem is with ImageMagick (convert utility), which cannot find GhostScript executable or some related file as gs_init.ps. ImageMagick in fact uses other programs (as GhostScript) to manage different file type (as eps). these programs are called coder modules and must reside in ImageMagick path. I'm waiting for some feedback from ImageMagick user list on how to add program directory to ImageMagick coder module search path.

Regards, Stephen It is not always safe to have two different versions of the same .dll, they can cause conflicts just as two different versions of convert will can conflict. For instance the Msys sh.exe needed to run LyX scripts works, but not the sh.exe which comes with Cygwin which some Windows users have on their machines. Try renaming the 6.2.8.dll to 6.2.8.dllbak and then run convert someimagefile.* to a different someimagefile.* where the * is a jpg or png or eps, some image format that is small that you have on hand for a test. Run this from the directory where the LyXWininstaller has put C:\ImageMagick with the test file in the same directory. Putting cross-ported program in directories which have spaces in them, like Program files, can create odd errors.

Hello everyone,
I exported my PhD thesis LyX file to html by exporting from LyX to
latex and then running htlatex, bibtex'ing each aux file corresponding
to each bib file included (I have sectioned bibliography, i.e. I'm
using bibtopic in LyX, I guess). I also found somewhere that the bug
with exporting to html from LyX may be related to the use of bibtex
itself.
Now I have a new problem: equations in the object html document don't
show as figures but rather as:
( )T G(x,y) = ∂I, ∂I∂x ∂y -- in Firefox
(2.1)
in MS internet explorer
I think it is a mix of misinterpreted figure and text...
I had a look on various discussion groups but couldn't find any
problem report like this. Have any hint on this? What kind of
information is needed to detect the problem source?
Thanks for your support,
Diego
