Hello SuSE LyX-ers I uploaded an rpm for SuSE 8.1 compiled with the qt frontend against qt3. This file will hopefully soon be available in the bin directory of ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/. For the impatient, you can also get it from http://nf-pro.sckcen.be/download/lyx-1.3.0-1.i386.SuSE-8.1-KDE3.1-qt3.rpm Let me know if you have problems with it. A note for preview-latex: you need to install the packages preview-latex and AUC Tex seperately since they are not included wth the SuSE distribution. Install AUC Tex first. preview-latex can be found on http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/ and auctex can be found on a CTAN server near you After installation, lyx will use them automatically Regards Paul Lars Gullik Bjønnes wrote: Public release of LyX version 1.3.0 === We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.3.0.

I considered renaming the lyx executable, package name and config (shared files) to avoid the original being overwritten, but dropped that in the end to be as close as possible with the LyX defaults and avoid the errors generating the rpm package. prefere /usr over /usr/local or vice versa, but changing the path just causes unnecessary confusion without real benefit. (e.g. linked user defined templates and layouts have to be relinked to the other path.) But anyway, thanks for the rpm - saves me a lot of time :) And not to forget the nice QT interface. My god!

[Fwd: Re: Announce: LyX 1.3.0 released.[SuSE]]
Hello SuSE LyX-ers I uploaded an rpm for SuSE 8.1 compiled with the qt frontend against qt3. This file will hopefully soon be available in the bin directory of ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/. For the impatient, you can also get it from http://nf-pro.sckcen.be/download/lyx-1.3.0-1.i386.SuSE-8.1-KDE3.1-qt3.rpm Let me know if you have problems with it. A note for preview-latex: you need to install the packages preview-latex and AUC Tex seperately since they are not included wth the SuSE distribution. Install AUC Tex first. preview-latex can be found on http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/ and auctex can be found on a CTAN server near you After installation, lyx will use them automatically Regards Paul Lars Gullik Bjønnes wrote: > Public release of LyX version 1.3.0 > === > > We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.3.0. >
Re: broken compiler with lyx + qt
There is a little secret: you need to update the gcc package from the on-line distribution of SuSE 8.1. The versions there are more recent than the ones on DVD/CD. They are NOT in the upgrade directories or suse's web site, although they clearly are.

RPM of lyx 1.3.0-pre3 with Qt front-end for SuSE 8.1
Since the ftp.devel.lyx.org is temporarily closed for uploading rpm packages, I made a temporary http download location for those who want to try it: http://nf-pro.sckcen.be/download/ It is built on SuSE 8.1 with KDE 3.1 (including qt3) and installs in /usr/local.

Re: Third Prerelease of LyX 1.3.0 (SuSE 8.1 troubles)
Hello Chris, I managed to compile and run LyX by downloading a newer version (3.2-46) of the gcc compiler suite (needs to be the 3.2 series since qt was also compiled with it). I got them from ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/gcc/8.1/ Downloaded all of them (except the source rpm) and installed. After this LyX compiled and runs nicely (used the qt frontend). BTW, the regular download of SuSE 8.1 also includes a newer version than the one found on the stock CD/DVD distribution. It is not in the update section, so that's the reason why I overlooked it. Happy now Regards Paul

Re: Third Prerelease of LyX 1.3.0
Same result here, when I tried to compile it on SuSE 8.1, same gcc but with KDE 3.04. It does not matter which front-end you use. I really wanted to see the QT front-end in action though :-( It appears to be a bug with the gcc 3.2 compiler shipped with SuSE, not the one by FSF (they closed a similar bug report for this reason). There are no updates from SuSE (yet). It does not only happen when compiling LyX 1.3.0, but for others too. LyX 1.2.3 compiled fine however. Maybe I found a possible workaround with google, which is to lower the optimisation level. Gonna try this later this weekend. Maybe you can try it too. Regards Paul

Re: thanks and pstopdf-question
See comments below In short gs_6.x: it has some issues for pdf generation (math and other font problems which surface when other people try to print it under Windows) I now installed gs_6.01 (which is quite a hard work for a non-programmer) and the pdf files are nicely small. Also the text charakters are looking good. Is it really not recomendable to use the latest gs_7.0 or the gs_6.5? I use both 6.01 and 6.5 (6.5 with a small patch which I can send you privately, or wait a little for the 6.51 release) and did not encounter major problems except for the minus symbol problem below. I did not try gs_7.0 yet. There is one strange thing left. When I export the document from Lyx to a ps-file and then do ps2pdf all the minus symbols from math mode are gone?? When I export from Lyx a DVI-file and then do dvips -Ppdf and after that ps2pdf everything seems to be OK. I noticed the same problem when printing gs6.x generated pdf files to postscript and non-postscript printers with acrobat reader in Windows. The minus symbols were present on-screen though! No problems with printing to postscript printers under Linux (from Acrobat reader). So my question is how can I specifie this -Ppdf inside Lyx? I added this option in LyX 1.1.6fix2 preferences (Converters-Converters), with LyX 1.1.5fix1 this should be possible by defining \dvi_to_ps_command dvips -Ppdf in ~/.lyx/lyxrc With this change, other problems are introduced!

Re: thanks and pstopdf-question
See comments below In short gs_6.x: it has some issues for pdf generation (math and other font problems which surface when other people try to print it under Windows) > I now installed gs_6.01 (which is quite a hard work for a >non-programmer) and the pdf files are nicely small. Also the text >charakters are looking good. Is it really not recomendable to use >the latest gs_7.0 or the gs_6.5? I use both 6.01 and 6.5 (6.5 with a small patch which I can send you privately, or wait a little for the 6.51 release) and did not encounter major problems except for the minus symbol problem below. I did not try gs_7.0 yet. > There is one strange thing left. When I export the document from >Lyx to a ps-file and then do ps2pdf all the minus symbols from math >mode are gone?? When I export from Lyx a DVI-file and then do >"dvips -Ppdf" and after that ps2pdf everything seems to be OK. I noticed the same problem when printing gs6.x generated pdf files to postscript and non-postscript printers with acrobat reader in Windows. The minus symbols were present on-screen though! No problems with printing to postscript printers under Linux (from Acrobat reader). > So my question is how can I specifie this "-Ppdf" inside Lyx? I added this option in LyX 1.1.6fix2 preferences (Converters->Converters), with LyX 1.1.5fix1 this should be possible by defining \dvi_to_ps_command "dvips -Ppdf" in ~/.lyx/lyxrc With this change, other problems are introduced! For example, fi character sequences in normal text became a pound sterling sign Conclusion: do not use gs_6.x for distributing LyX generated (through ps2pdf) acrobat documents Hth Paul

Re: Bug in pretty ref
Hi Vincent,
I ran into the same problem and the cause is that for prettyref to work, the
labels need to start with a tag describing their content (figure, table,
equation,...)
Valid labels are:
eq:my_equation2
fig:my_figure1
tab:my_table_of_useful_info
Maybe this should go in the FAQ, as not everyone reads the doc upon noticing the
prettyref features introduced recently.
Best regards
Paul

Re: poor quality of on-screen fonts in PDFs from Lyx
Rachel,
I had the same problem. There are two ways that work for me by changing
settings in LyX (versions 1.1.4x, 1.1.5, 1.1.6cvs, probably earlier
versions too):
1) put
\usepackage{pslatex}
in the latex preamble (see Layout- LaTeX preamble)
or
2)
select "psfonts" in Layout - Document | fonts
After this, ps2pdf on a postscript output should be better when viewing
with Acrobat Reader, except formula's for which I did not find a
solution...yet
Do expect that the fonts are not equal with these settings (most
pronounced with helvetica ps fonts, which differ substantially from the
LateX equivalent)
Best regards
Paul

ISTR someone else having this problem but don't recall seeing an answer. I
get the same results if I export as Tex and convert to PDF using pdflatex,
or if I go through dvi, or if I export as Postscript and use ps2pdf.
