Re: Install
Because I use their distro only seldom. If the KDE people would use proper C++ I'd probably have come to that decision much earlier due to the support for that other toolkit... Why not rewrite lyx with qt ( http://www.trolltech.com ) : it would run on windows natively (lyx + cygwin can't be compared to any other professional windows application), on macOsX, and all the X11-unixes. And beleive me, as a project manager, I ported my software to Qt a year ago (in 5 month), and qt is really cool and easy. You get a very nice InterfaceBuilder, multiplatform code and makefiles... now I spend my time adding and improving features, not fighting X and Motif.

Re: Class files not installed on the system....
Herbert, thanks for the detailed explanation. But it seems that lyx can't do what I need. I need all the files in one directory (including the latex class files) unpack it and run it through lyx. I will do the replacement by hand for now. Hopefully a later version of lyx will support it (an easy fix would be to be able to specify the documentclass line in latex ocde). Thanks a lot. Rainer.

Splitting figure across 2 pages w/ caption on 1st page ... possible under LyX? ERT?
Hi , maybe this is a LaTeX question ... but, I need to split a figure across 2 pages ... panels a-d on 1st e-g on next pg. I'd like the caption to be under the 1st chunk (Figure X. This shows ... ) and then the next page to say Figure X (continued) without incrementing the Figure counter etc. Ideally, can this be done in LyX? Or, can someone point me to a source that explains how to do it with ERT? Thanks. I have a 325+ page book in LyX it works beautifully other than the occasional xforms hiccup. Great work! Gerald Cecil

I guess Mike is right, I should try GCC on irix to compile lyx.
I don't think Irix's MipsPro C++ is broken. It works fine and efficiently
for a large number of projects.
I'd say that lyx's configure can be improved on IRIX.
and maybe I should use another STL on IRIX... Stl hell...
Best regards from Paris, France.
If someone can contribute a howto compile lyx on IRIX, or better,
provide up-to-date executable...

Herbert, thanks for the detailed explanation. But it seems that lyx can't do what I need. I need all the files in one directory (including the latex class files) unpack it and run it through lyx. I will do the replacement by hand for now. Hopefully a later version of lyx will support it (an easy fix would be to be able to specify the documentclass line in latex ocde). Thanks a lot. Rainer.

Splitting figure across 2 pages w/ caption on 1st page ... possible under LyX? ERT?
Hi , maybe this is a LaTeX question ... but, I need to split a figure across 2 pages ... panels a-d on 1st e-g on next pg. I'd like the caption to be under the 1st chunk (Figure X. This shows ... ) and then the next page to say Figure X (continued) without incrementing the Figure counter etc. Ideally, can this be done in LyX? Or, can someone point me to a source that explains how to do it with ERT? Thanks. I have a 325+ page book in LyX it works beautifully other than the occasional xforms hiccup. Great work! Gerald Cecil

bug in 1.1.6fix 3 with center feature!?
Hello, I'm not sure if it's a bug but here is what I experience. I upgraded from 1.1.5fix1 to 1.1.6fix3 on a Solaris machine. I have a main LyX document that include a bunch of other LyX files. Some of the included files are completely center justified. All the other file BEFORE the center justified one are fine while all the file AFTER the center justified... are all center justified too. Looks like that once you have a center justified included file, it 'forgets to close' the center justification. Of course, that problem wasn't occuring with 1.1.5fix1 Anybody experiencing this? Any thoughts? Stephan

I guess Mike is right, I should try GCC on irix to compile lyx.
I don't think Irix's MipsPro C++ is broken. It works fine and efficiently
for a large number of projects.
I'd say that lyx's configure can be improved on IRIX.
and maybe I should use another STL on IRIX... Stl hell...
Best regards from Paris, France.
If someone can contribute a howto compile lyx on IRIX, or better,
provide up-to-date executable...

The solution: Put a dummy paragraph at the end of that file: either use a comment paragraph, or use a standard paragraph and enter % in latex mode.

Herbert, thanks for the detailed explanation. But it seems that lyx can't do what I need. I need all the files in one directory (including the latex class files) unpack it and run it through lyx. I will do the replacement by hand for now. Hopefully a later version of lyx will support it (an easy fix would be to be able to specify the documentclass line in latex ocde). Thanks a lot.

Splitting figure across 2 pages w/ caption on 1st page ... possible under LyX? ERT?
Hi , maybe this is a LaTeX question ... but, I need to split a figure across 2 pages ... panels a-d on 1st & e-g on next pg. I'd like the caption to be under the 1st chunk (Figure X. This shows ... ) and then the next page to say Figure X (continued) without incrementing the Figure counter etc. Ideally, can this be done in LyX? Or, can someone point me to a source that explains how to do it with ERT? Thanks. I have a 325+ page book in LyX & it works beautifully other than the occasional xforms hiccup. Great work!

Lyx does compile on Irix using gcc --- I'm running it at home. I never managed to get it to compile using MIPS C++ which is a shame as this generates much better code.

Or possibly not. An awful lot of autoconfigured stuff breaks under Irix because it tries to add /usr/lib to the search path for libraries. For better or worse, IRIX has 3 incompatible binary API formats (or something) --- o32 ones live in /usr/lib, n32 ones live in /usr/lib32, and n64 ones live in /usr/lib64.

cool. no lyx and not on the list ...

use a nonfloat and in/decrease the counter by yourself. have a look at

where i had the same problem with tables. you can define your

bug in 1.1.6fix 3 with center feature!?
Hello, I'm not sure if it's a bug but here is what I experience. I upgraded from 1.1.5fix1 to 1.1.6fix3 on a Solaris machine. I have a main LyX document that include a bunch of other LyX files. Some of the included files are completely center justified. All the other file BEFORE the center justified one are fine while all the file AFTER the center justified... are all center justified too. Looks like that once you have a center justified included file, it 'forgets to close' the center justification. Of course, that problem wasn't occuring with 1.1.5fix1 Anybody experiencing this? Any thoughts? Stephan

./src/support/sstream.h line 40 : #include
included from ./src/Lsstream.hline 22 : #include "support/sstream.h"
included from formula.C line 22 : #include "Lsstream.h"
Please note that I created in ./src a file named iostream containing
#ifndef IOSTREAM_KLUDGE
#define IOSTREAM_KLUDGE
#include
namespace std { void iostream_kludge(); };
#endif
Without it, I get with formula.C an error in /usr/include/CC/iostream
(system file)
#error This header file requires the -LANG:std option
Well, STL hell again and again.
And as often, configure that doesn't work... (I'm a bit desapointed today :)
Thanks for any help,
Olivier

My last try gives:
setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/lib32 -n32
setenv CXXFLAGS -n32
setenv CFLAGS -n32
setenv x_libraries /usr/lib32
./configure
and configure tells me :
checking if C++ compiler uses std namespace ... yes
configure: warning:
===
WARNING: This compiler platform does not have the iostream library
in the std namespace. This presents a problem for writing portable
STL code. To run the demos, you will need to place a file with the
following in a file called iostream in your include directory.
---iostream
#ifndef IOSTREAM_KLUDGE
#define IOSTREAM_KLUDGE
#include

#endif

then

I guess Mike is right, I should try GCC on irix to compile lyx.
I don't think Irix's MipsPro C++ is broken. It works fine and efficiently
for a large number of projects.
I'd say that lyx's configure can be improved on IRIX.
and maybe I should use another STL on IRIX... Stl hell...
Best regards from Paris, France.
If someone can contribute a "howto compile lyx on IRIX", or better,
provide up-to-date executable...
Thanks in advance
Olivier

Any thoughts? It is a known bug (it was already fixed in CVS). The problem happens only when you have a centered paragraph at the end of an included file. The solution: Put a dummy paragraph at the end of that file: either use a comment paragraph, or use a standard paragraph and enter % in latex mode.

Applications written in qt run very fine on windows. (and has all 'modern' features (docking windows, toolbars, MDI, subprocesses)). A good lyx application (with easy preview of images jpg/png) on windows would beat any other document package... best regards Olivier
