Re: lyx: Inverted question mark
Robert Denham wrote: Dear LyX users, I have just installed the latest version of lyx and think it looks pretty good. One thing I like about it is its internationalisation (?). My girlfriend is doing a Spanish course so I thought I would set LyX up for her to write in Spanish. If I use the american-2.kmap I have no problems with accents, but I'm not sure how to get an inverted question mark. In latex I think it is just '? and also '! but these will need to be set as TeX commands in LyX, and they won't appear on the screen. Is there an easy way to bind a key to this so it appears upside down on the screen? If your X-Server is setup correctly to use the compose key, you can insert it just by typing "Compose ? ?" and you get "¿" (even works in other programs like xterm/bash and emacs then...)

Re: installing lyx 1.0
Thanks for the info - did as per your sugegstion and it started off fine... After a VERY long time compiling (funny how you never actually remember a 486 being so slow), the compile on lyx failed with the following: /tmp/cca00130.s: Assembler messages: -1.0.0/po' /tmp/cca/00130.s:70023: Internal error!1.0.0/src' Assertion failure in tc_gen_reloc at targ-cpu.c line 3013.yx_cb.C Please report this bug For quite a while the make failed because there was not enough virtual storage. I am now using a 13mb swapfile (not partition) and there is 18mb currently free on the hard disk (about 23-25 if i make clean the lyx installation). Anyone ideas whats going on, and whether it is fixable?

It seems to occur in data.o Tony and sxpm.o and types.h, and says, for example: Tony /usr/include/bytesex.h:6: linux/version.h: No such file or Tony directory and /usr/include/sys/types.h:4: /linux/types.h No such Tony file or diretory /usr/include/sys/bytesex.h:6: /linux/version.h Tony No such file or diretory /usr/include/sys/errno.h:27: Tony /linux/errno.h No such file or diretory You need to make sure that you install the kernel sources and that /usr/include/linux points to /usr/src/linux/include (the exact name might be wrong).

Spacing between equations and paragraphs
Hi all, I am trying to write an article with lyx and it is neccesary to specify some aspects, such as the space between the equation and the above and below paragraphs must be fixed to 6pt. How can I manage this with lyx ? Thank you in advance for any hints -- Oscar Lopez Garcia Instituto de Investigacion Tecnologica Santa Cruz de Marcenado, 26 28015 Madrid, SPAIN phone: 34 1 5422800 fax: 34 1 5423176 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Lyx for multiauthor documents
Hello, Here I go again, I installed (actually, the sysadm installed) a recent version of LaTeX and everything works fine. I'd like to ask you for advice in the following: I am involved in the project of writing a book. There will be five more people located in two continents writing different parts of the book. Two people (including me) are more or less experienced LaTeX users, while the rest are new to LaTeX, so I thought LyX would be very useful for them (and I found out it would be for me, also). My question is: what are the main difficulties or shortcomings we should face because of having several authors? I saw there is the possibility of inserting a lyx file into another one, so I think we could e-mail lyx files to the project master and he could include the different files and compile them. Am I right? I saw a message in this list saying LyX was not recommended for multiauthor documents. Why? Any suggestion or comment will be highly appreciated. Our alternative to LyX seems to be MSWord, so I am willing to do *whatever* it takes to make LyX/LaTeX a viable choice.

lyx on SGI
jph I just installed lyx-1.0 on irix 6.5.2 with development option.
jph I had previously installed gcc and gnu-make which are used by
jph default.
jph No major problem so far, although configure warned that Xpm was a
jph rather oldish version with threats of 'weird crashes'. No
jph problem installing teTeX/xforms either.
jph Only glitches so far: -WARNING: plp: context IRQ out of
jph order-stop printing
?? What is that?
please ignore
jph -what looks for lpr does not find it-calllp by hand
And is that a problem on your system?
yes, see below
JMarc
I first thought my install was successful,
but i am now discovering problems
some of which i have not yet fixed. Help welcome :-)
1 i could not print direct from menu, a dvips config problem
(no native lpr here)
in /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps need to edit
line: o |lpr
into: o |lp
==
2 i could print Intro and Tutorial (with some
mentions of Tex errors and wrong parameters),
but UserGuide wont print beyond page 16:
[30 Tex errors detected, you should try to fix them]
UsrGuide.log looks like this:
.
[16]
! Undefined control sequence.
\reserved@a -\@nil
l.4688 \texttt{\~{}/.lyx/lyxrc}
%
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
.etc, etc...
is this a doc, lyx, teTeX or sgi install problem?
--i don't know.
===
3. i have not yet located a source of Xpm version 4.7 for irix
