Hi!
I'm a TeX/LyX newbie who's been using 1.1.4 without problems (great freeware :D!
I'm now writing all my papers in LyX and feeling sorry for my poor colleagues
who use Word under Windoze...). However, upon installing and using 1.1.5pre3 I
encountered the following problems (Solaris 2.6, SPARCstation 5, GCC 2.8.1).
1) When running 'configure' I used --with-lyxname="lyx-1.1.5". The compilation
worked fine, but when I ran 'make install' my old lyx binary in /usr/local/bin
was overwritten (?) with the new binary using the same name as my old version,
'lyx'. However, the directory /usr/local/share/lyx-1.1.5 was created, and when
starting LyX ~/.lyx-1.1.5 was created. Is this a bug?
2) When opening a document written in 1.1.4 everything looks fine. However, when
I want to view the dvi or postscript file (File -> View dvi) the LaTeX run
produces the following errors and fails (from the LaTeX log):
Illegal parameter number in definition of \reserved@a.

You meant to type ## instead of #, right? Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere
earlier, and things are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.
The piece of text is from the end of a figure caption in a figure float.
According to the coding in the lyx-file there is no excess '}'. Below follows
the caption text extracted using cut-and-paste:
Entrainment rate E as a function of s=\sin \varphi . The simple formula
([eq:E_bope80_simple]) is compared to ([eq:E_bope80]), as tabulated in Table 5.4
of \citeN{bope80} for the lower values of C_{D}, and the results of
\citeN{eltu59} (determined from the fitted curve in their Fig. 8).
Now, the interesting part is that if I remove the citations everything works
(?)! Putting them back produces the same errors again. Is this a bug in
1.1.5pre3, that one cannot have citations in figure captions?
Cheers,
Olof
