Problem (File does not exist) with Lyx 1.6.2 and XeTex (under TexLive 2009)

2009-08-23 Thread Clemente Beghi

Dear LyX-Users, I am on Ubuntu Linux. If I run lyx from a terminal, then along with the LyX window I get a terminal where I can see what LyX is thinking when it generates PDFs, etc. This is a very useful debugging tool, but I only need it a relatively small fraction of the time I am using LyX.

how tell which installer?

When I'm ready to upgrade (to LyX 1.6.4, say), how do I tell which installer I used -- the standard one or the alternate one? I'm working in Windows XP, and I see in the main LyX directory the file LyXWinUninstall.exe. Does that help to answer the question? -- Murray Eisenberg
