I have installed LyX, the word processor, on OS X 10.4.11. I have spent only a couple of hours with it, but there seem to be some oddities.
First of all, when pasting text which has been copied from within LyX, or when opening a LyX Help file, this message appears in a dialog box: The layout file requested by this document, article.layout, is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output. I have seen other versions of the message where article.layout is something else. After I dismiss the dialog, the pasted text appears as expected. When pasting text that has been put into the clipboard from a "normal" Mac program such as Text Edit, the dialog box does not appear. Also, clicking on the Adobe logo in the tool bar results in a dialog box that says this: No information for exporting the format PDF (pdflatex). Clicking on DVI and PS have similar results. (Note that the Tutorial says that there should be a View>DVI menu item but there is none.) Finally (for now), images are not rendered. For example, in the User's Guide, instead of seeing a platypus in Section 4.6.1, I see a box with this text in it: platypus.eps Error converting to loadable format Thanks for any help, Jerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
