Hi! I'm a new user of LyX although I have a good knowledge of LaTeX and
reasonable programming skills. I can't read the LyX tutorial and some other
though not all lyx files. I've read the mailing list archives and found nothing
similar so here goes:
LyX version 1.01 running on DEC Alpha with Digital Unix v3.2.
Code compiled with egcs 1.1.1 without any problems.
I can read the Introduction to Lyx and the Known bugs, but attempting to open
the Tutorial causes the program to crash. If this has been reported before, my
apologies; could you point me at the solution. If not, then here is the output
from gdb.
Any help gratefully received.
Angus
