Subject says it:
I'm having a problem with LyX. When I try to view DVI or view postscript
or export as DVI etc., it fails to actually do anything. If I launch it
from a console I get error output thus:
Attempting to view DVI
file:randomfile.dvi: No such file or directory
Attempting to view Postscript, or print
This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)
dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened.
Attempting to export DVI
sh: ./randomfile.tex: Permission denied
... and so on.
Exporting as TeX works fine, and on the output from that I can manually
run all the latex/tetex tools eg: texi2dvi, texi2pdf, dvips, xdvi etc.,
all those work fine, but LyX seems incapable of running them properly.
BTW, if I export as TeX and *then* try to view DVI or Postscript, I
still get the same errors.
Now:
I'm running all this under Linux using SuSE 6.4. At first, naturally, I
tried it with the versions of tetex, LyX etc. supplied with SuSE, and
when it failed, thinking it might be an error in their distribution, I
removed it and built both tetex and LyX up from source, from the latest
available stable versions (teTeX 1.0.2, LyX 1.1.5, though still using
the XForms, Ghostscript etc. supplied by SuSE (the LyX GUI is fine with
that btw)). The exact same errors occur but, again, the command-line
tools in teTeX are working fine.
Help! :-)
