 It's already in:
 
 URL: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/33492

I get the error:
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libiconv.la' or unhandled 
argument `/usr/lib/libiconv.la'
make[5]: *** [lyxclient] Error 1
make[4]: *** [install] Error 2

unless I specify
--without-aspell --without-pspell
OTOH --disable-stdlib-debug  doesn't seem to be needed for me (10.6 with

Re: Displaying pdf output of LyX with AcroReader

[Lavaud Michel]

John McCabe-Dansted a écrit :


  

with my LaTeX installation and it produces output readable by Acroread. And
I compiled also the LaTeX export of my LyX test file (with File / Export /
Latex (pdflatex)), and this produces also a pdf file readable by Acroread.

Could you display correctly the pdf file I sent in my first message ?



Not in Acroread.

  

Could
you send me the pdf output you created successfully, so I can check if I can
display it with my installation of Acroread? Thanks.



The file I generated worked fine in my Acroread so it should work fine
in yours too. Attaching anyway.

  
No, I cannot display it with my installation of Acroread, so it would 
seem that the problem comes from a lack of adaptation between LyX and 
Acroread in the way LyX (or rather pdflatex ?) points to the fonts, and 
the way Acroread is supposed to get their location, at least for the 
versions of Acroread we use (on my current machine, I use Acroread 
v8.0.1) ?


This reminds me of a joke about Acrobat reader : it is is so named 
because of the contortions one has to do to avoid its bugs :-) Well, so 
it seems that the solution to the problem is either to avoid using 
Acrobat Reader and when posting pdf files on a web site, to warn people 
to use other software than Acroread to display the pdf ; or to enforce 
the inclusion in the pdf output, of all fonts used, as suggested in the 
reference given by Liviu,

wrong hint change the encoding to UTF8

[Guenter Milde]

Dear LyX developers,

once again, a post on lyx-users regarding the wrong hint:

  changing the encoding to UTF8 might help

displayed with encoding errors.

LyX's unicodesymbols file is more complete than inputenc's utf8
definitions, so this is just misleading.

 It says changing the encoding to UTF8 could help, but that's what I  
 already chose.
...

 For now, your best bet is to open View  Source, search for the
 character (it is marked in red in the source), and remove it.

This is by far a more useful troubleshooting hint, so pleas let this be
shown instead of the obsolete one.

Export latex - any way to inline bibtex formatted refs?

[Manoj Rajagopalan]

Hi lyx developers,

   Has someone suggested this feature for future inclusion yet? If not, how 
should one go about implementing it?

   I'd started a thread with the same subject on the users list.

thanks,
Manoj

This issue comes up so often that it is surprising indeed that there is 
no built-in Lyx method of doing that.  What I do in such cases (every 
time I send out a manuscript to a journal, for example), is to:

   1. Export from Lyx to plain Latex
   2. Run Latex on the file, to generate correct references AND a .bbl
  file related to my manuscript
   3. Open the Latex file with an ASCII editor and paste the .bbl file
  into it.
   4. Save the file, and send it to the journal.

 Hi all,

 A journal I am planning to submit a paper to wants all references to be
 inlined into the main .tex file - they don't accept separate bibtex files
 or .bbl files. Is there any way to achieve this with LyX when I export to
 latex? If not with lyx only, is there any other way to achieve the same
 effect using a combination of lyx and shell scripts? My platform is KUbuntu
 8.04 / i686

 Thanks,
