(Most of my posts should really go to a tinkerers' list --
[email protected]? -- for matters lying between the developers' list
and the users' list.)
When I reconfigure LyX and then look at the configure log, I find LyX
has, among others, checked for and not found inkscape, gnumeric,
firefox, mozilla, ghostview, acrobat, acroreader, abiword, oowriter, yet
all these programs are installed on my computer. As far as I'm aware
there's no special permissions or access restrictions that might make
them invisible.
Windows Vista, LyX 2.0.3, but this state of affairs has existed through
a great many versions of LyX. It doesn't seem to interfere with LyX's
functioning, but what is LyX doing if it can't find programs that are there?
LyX does find programs in the MiKTeX bin folder, and also notepad.
