Subject: LyX + WinME + MikTeX
Hi!
Getting LyX installed on my WinME was not really
that easy :) compared to installing MikTeX + WinEdt; however, since I might
recommend it for use on other PCs at work, Linux and Win2K, I tried to get a
feeling of what it is and does.
1. Cygwin installed
fine
2. X-Win32 installed
fine
3. LyX + ISPELL installed as
directed
BUT
even though I had ghostscript (4.03) in the LyxInstall dir, the setup program
did not recognize it and didn't install it.
4. I managed easily to run
LyX
5. Opened some LaTeX files in
it AND
here is the problem:
I tried to read the doc + help + faq and play
with lyxrc etc but still:
a. I cannot produce DVI, PS,
PDF, out of my LaTeX file
b. It exports as ASCII and TeX
but no other formats.
c. It does not even give an
error message, it says everything is all right!
d. I give the same commands as
introduced in lyxrc in DOS and they work!
Here is what I have in my lyxrc:
############### Testing some flags and
commands
\Format dvi dvi DVI D
\Format
eps eps EPS ""
\Format latex

\Format lyx

\viewer pdf "//c/Program
Files/Adobe/Acrobat 5.0/Acrobat/Acrobat.exe"
\spell_command "ispell"
\font_encoding
"T1"
Could anyone please help me to find solution to my problem? I've also to
say that the new MikTeX does not install in the dir structure as it is assumed
in the step by step installation for LyX. It is now installed in
c:\texmf\miktex\...
