From experience this means that you have a old layout file or module
that have an encoding that is not utf-8. In your case I assume that
the culprit is either in latin1 or latin9 (the difference between
those is the presence/absence of the euro sign).
Also I thought that we had fixed all the remainder errors like this in
2.3.5.2
So my suggestion is to go to your personal lyx directory and check the
encoding of file. By default in linux the location of the personal
directory is ~/.lyx. You can see this in LyX using the menu:
Help->About LyX->Version and see the User dir entry there.
Using the shell in my case I have:
$ cd ~/.lyx
$ file bind/*
bind/user.bind: ASCII text
My suggestion is to check the layouts directory that could be the
likely source of the problem:
$ file layouts/*
You got it right, as I had several old modules from Editorium
<http://www.editorium.com/lyxconverter.htm> of type:
Non-ISO extended-ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
I have converted them to
UTF-8 Unicode text
and now configure.py recognizes all the modules.
On the other hand, executing *Reconfigure* inside LyX no longer gives an
error message.
However, it still does not recognize Inkscape, even though it is
installed. So in the log file the following is listed:
INFO: checking for a SVG -> PDFTeX converter...INFO: +checking for
"inkscape"... no
Thanks you very much
Ramom
