If yap and/or gsview32 are not in your path you can specify the complete path here. With this it works for me (official 1.1.4fix1 version from CVS). I do not know whether Claus Hentschels port has additional changes. > Second: my system is completely hanging when in the lyxrc-file behind /ps_command the default words "gs" are not > removed ; this also > happens with 'UserGuide.lyx' and 'Extended.lyx'; when I delete gs there is no problem; why? You can try to do the following in your lyxrc file. \view_pspic_command gsview32 \ps_command gswin32c Though inlined pictures do not work because of certain limitations in ghostscript and presumably problems with the fork calls. These problems will not go away anytime soon so you are best off finding a Linux box if you really desire to see inlined pictures :-) Regards Roland > Greetings, > Sjaak Kamerling > Holland PS: Sorry for the "premature posting earlier" - Netscape Messenger just plain sucks.... -- Dr.-Ing.
