Guys
Found the problem. Think it's a bug in Lyx. The only way I can get it to view
the latex log file is by starting lyx in the directory in which my file
resides. Generally I launch lyx from the desktop icon which starts Lyx in my
home dir and therefore it can't see the log file. Maybe the solution is to use
full paths or check where the log file is being written to.
Below is the output from "strace lyxgdb >trace.out 2>&1"
stat("lyx_tmp9978aaa", 0xbffff234) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("lyx_tmp9978aaa", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("./", {st_mode=0, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
access("./", W_OK) = 0
stat("./elba-sim-letter.log", 0xbffff360) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("./elba-sim-letter.none.out", 0xbffff360) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("./elba-sim-letter.none.out", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
connect(137077112, ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
{...}, 1076546752) = 13
chdir("./") = 0
open("elba-sim-letter.log", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
