I am having trouble getting lyx to play nicely with teTeX.
I've installed both packages, first as a binary from the
FreeBSD-3.4Release CDROM. When I experienced problems, I
used the FreeBSD ports system to get a successful build of
both the teTeX-1.0.6 port and the lyx-1.0.4 port.
However, I still get the same errors as when I originally
installed the binary package. I open the help documents
from the lyx menubar, then I "view DVI". My thoughts are
that typesetting the documentation will expose all relevant
features of my LaTeX (provided by teTeX) installation. If
I have a broken LaTeX installation, it will show up here.
Well, it does.
The simplest of these documents, Introduction to Lyx, cannot
even be typeset correctly. I think the User Guide gave me
241 errors. Obviously, I have a broken installation of
something. Does anyone have any suggestions? I get the same
errors whether I am myself or root, so I don't think it's
permissions. Here are the errors, can anyone point me in the
right direction? I haven't a clue how to proceed.
Lyx has always just worked. BTW, no joy from the
freebsd-questions list yet.

misspelled it (e.g., '\hobx'), type 'I' and the correct
