LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem

[Kerensa McElroy]

Hi,

I'm trying to get LyX up and running on my system (Mac OS X 10.6.2) for the 
first time. I've installed MacTeX2010 without a problem. Then when I try and 
install Lyx, I get the following problem:

1. Removing obsolete files 
... Done removing obsolete files.

2. Testing to see if old LyX user's folder should be moved to new location 
... Done moving LyX user's directory to new location.

3. (No preferences file found at ~/Library/'Application Support'/LyX-1.6/.)

4. Installing default LyX templates 
... Done installing default LyX templates.

5. Installing LyX's special LaTeX files 
• Found TeX installation at .
• Local TeX directory set to ~/Library/texmf.
• Installed LyX's additional LaTeX .cls and .sty files.

*** ERROR: Cannot run texhash command. Please run manually.

... Done.


After, all my classes are 'unavailable'.  Also, when i try and run sudo texhash 
from terminal, it simply says 'command not found'. 

I've trawled the web for a solution to this problem. It looks like a lot of 
other people have come across this. However, none of the 
suggested solutions are working for me.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Kerensa.

Did you see this thread? --

My suspicion is that you really don't have MacTeX installed (at least
not properly); otherwise, you wouldn't have a problem running texhash
from the Terminal. You need to find where your MacTeX binaries are
(default is /usr/texbin) and make sure that path is one of the entries
in LyX  Preferences  Paths  PATH Prefix.

SOLVED: LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem

[Kerensa McElroy]

Hi everyone,

yes, I did see this 
thread,http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg84463.html, to no 
avail originally,
however it jogged me into working out a solution now that I've read it again!

Here is the complete instructions to solving this problem, for anyone who needs 
them:

1. change into directory /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin
2. type sudo ./texhash (and enter password)
3. open lyx, go to LyXPreferencesPaths PATH Prefix. Remove whatever else is 
there and replace with  /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. Save.
4. Go to LyX Reconfigure.
5. Close LyX and open it again.

Kerensa.

This looks to me like a workaround for a botched MacTeX installation.
Take a look at:

http://www.tug.org/mactex/2010/What_Is_Installed.pdf

You should have a softlink at /usr/texbin that points to
/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. If not, then something
went wrong, and I'd wonder whether you might encounter other problems
down the road.

I'd suggest checking to see that everything was installed where that
document says it should be, and then opening System Preferences,
clicking on the TeX Distribution button at the bottom, and ensuring
that TeXLive-2010 is selected. If that creates the /usr/texbin
softlink, then you should use that in LyX -- restoring the original
list for PATH Prefix in LyX's preferences. If not, when you upgrade to
MacTeX-2011, LyX won't know how to find it.

Re: SOLVED: LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem

[Kerensa McElroy]

hmm.  No /usr/texbin softlink. And no tex installations at all listed in system 
preferences. 

So, I repeated the installation for MacTeX2010, exactly as it says to. Same 
problem.

Any suggestions?

Not a Mac user, but try to open a Console, type texhash, and hit

 Probably a silly question, but do you have a LaTeX distribution installed on 
 it?  (I don't know what all comes standard on a MacBook.)

To this, I would ask, which LaTeX distribution do you have installed?  (Mac OS 
X does not come with a LaTeX distribution by default, though most OS X users 
seem to use MacTeX, http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/.)

If you are using MacTeX, it's also important to know where you have it 
installed.  If you used the default location, you might try to execute texhash 
with the sudo command:

sudo texhash

This will give texhash admin rights for your computer, and allow it to 
read/write to protected directories.

Just some thoughts.

Not a Mac user, but try to open a Console, type texhash, and hit
enter. It might be possible that you need admin rights to do so.

Lyx+Miktex2.7+Windows7RC - installation problem

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I will also ask this to question in the Miktex forum but I have just
wanted to check if any of you has met the same problem as me before
posting:
I am running W7RC in Virtual box and wanted to install the full LyX
installer. Lyx installs fine but Windows meets a problem during Miktex
install, because it crashes when it arrives to LatexSetup.exe. Then
Windows asks me to close the program. When I try to repeat the
installation, it crashes at the same point.

Re: Lyx Installation problem on Mac OS X

[John Schulman]

I tried running the OSX installer directly and the installation seems
to go through but then there are other problems that prevent me from
opening a document or starting a new one.
Thanks for the help, but I think I'm going to give up on LyX 1.6 since
my current installation of 1.5 works.

I've installed LyX with the LyX 1.5.1-1 installer for Windows (win XP, SP1). All
is very easy, thanks a lot.

But when I try to launch LyX, this report error appears:

"Debug log
TextClassList::Read: no textclasses found!
Completed"

What does that mean and what should I do??
Please, note I'm not at all a geek! 

Thanks for your help
Sara

Does this workaraound help?:

Delete the files "textclass.lst" and "packages.lst" in the folder
~:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\LyX1.5.x and restart LyX."

First question: are these machines self-contained, or do users have 
their home directories on a remote server?  (There have been two reports 
of this problem recently from people using remote servers.)


Assuming that your home directories are stored on the machines, you 
might try opening a DOS shell and changing to the Resources folder under 
the LyX installation directory.  There is a script 'configure.py' there. 
 Try running it.  (If you don't have the full Python installed and 
associated with .py file types, you will need to run 'python 
configure.py' or possibly 'path\python configure.py', where path is 
the path to the copy of Python installed by LyX.


In the event that doesn't work (it usually does), you should at least 
get some informative error messages in the DOS window.

Windows installation problem (and fix)

[Serge Barbosa Da Torre]

For reference for other users:

I installed  Lyx 1.4.2  (with version Lyx-1.4.2-1.exe installer).
Unfortunately it completely fails to start. A cmd window start and 
disappear. Lyx does not start.


Running it from cmd window here is the message:

 Exception caught:
 boost::filesystem::is_directory: 
D:\msys\home\lyx-142\build\installprefix\Resources\chkconfig.ltx: Le 
périphérique n'est pas prêt.

 Unable to determine the system directory having searched
   C:/appli/LyX14/bin/C:/appli/LyX14/Resources/
 Use the '-sysdir' command line parameter or set the environment 
variable LYX_DIR_14x to the LyX system directory containing the file 
`chkconfig.ltx'.


The fix is obviously to modify the launch script lyx.bat to add the 
-sysdir option to the executable as following:


C:\appli\LyX14\binmore lyx.bat

@echo off
SET LC_ALL=en_EN
SET AIK_DATA_DIR=C:\appli\LyX14\aiksaurus
start LyX C:\appli\LyX14\bin\lyx.exe -sysdir c:/appli/LyX14/Resources %*


I am wondering why it works for other people.

Nothing special. Actually I installed it a first time with the default

Seeing in the list that some people had problem with the space in the 
pathname, i reinstalled it in c:/appli. Same problem.

Yes.
Note that this message is confusing:
  - did it search separately c:/appli/lyx14/bin, and 
c:/appli/lyx14/resources (in which case it should have found the correct 
dir), and did the error printing by concatenating the 2 dirs?
  - or did it search a single dir of the form 
c:/appli/lyx14/bin/c:/appli/lyx14/resources/  ?? Note that if i pass a 
bogus dir to the -sysdir option, it reports that dir on a new line.

Re: Installation problem on WinXP

[Mario]

Well... yes: I'm using the complete Installer and the latest version 1.4.1
(something that I can't use in my beatiful Debian becasue It isn't Sid) from
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
and yes: I usually uninstall LyX before reinstalling it.

I'm trying to install LyX to computers that runs WindowsXP in spanish.

When attempting to install LyX in Spanish, this error happens just before the
LaTeX configuration. LyX itself installs (Lyx.exe and many of the programm
files) but I can not modify LyX.bat because it does not exists.

When attempt to install in English, this error DOES NOT happens. Everithing is
fine, even the menus are in spanish! (but not the document or spellchecker
options, nothing to worry about).

I think It's just a weird bug in the C programm that is in charge of making the
Lyx.bat file (Can't modify because I don't understand it, I hope someboy can).

Thank you very much for tracing this bug.

--

Enrico Forestieri suggested for users to add the following line to lyx.bat:

set LYX_LOCALEDIR=LyXdir/Resources/locale

where LyXdir should be replaced by the path where LyX
was installed.

Maybe this will help in the process of fixing things.
I think it fixes like menus being in English instead of Spanish.

Enrico Forestieri suggested for users to add the following line to lyx.bat:

set LYX_LOCALEDIR=LyXdir/Resources/locale

where LyXdir should be replaced by the path where LyX
was installed.

Maybe this will help in the process of fixing things.
I think it fixes like menus being in English instead of Spanish.

Installation problem on WinXP

When trying to install LyX 1.4.1 under Windows XP and selecting spanish as
language, an error says "Lyx.cmd could not be created" and then LyX can not be
run because of the Lyx.bat file is missing.

The configuration script uses a number of Unix/Linux utilities, 
including (prominently) sed.  Older versions of sed don't work with the 
configuration script.  I haven't updated my Cygwin installation in a 
long time, but the sed that Cygwin installed back when is definitely too 
old.  (There may be other utilities that need updating, but I know from 
painful personal experience that sed is one.)  Also, I had problems once 
with the LyX installation script seeing the version of LaTeX that Cygwin 
installed before finding the MiKTeX version, and deciding Cygwin's 
latex.exe would not work.  Might have been a faulty LaTeX installation 
under Cygwin, but in any case that problem was resolved by ensuring that 
MiKTeX preceded Cygwin on the Windows command path.


If you're willing to install MinSYS (and put it on the command path 
ahead of the Cygwin bin directory), I think that will cure your problem. 
 Otherwise, you should check whether there are updates available for 
Cygwin.  (Don't know if the most recent Cygwin is compatible with LyX or 
not.)


One other alternative:  people have compiled the LyX source under 
Cygwin.  (I'm assuming you installed the 1.3.7 Windows binary, rather 
than compiling yourself.)
