Are you using Linux? And if so, what flavor?
On Debian Woody (i.e. testing) there has been a similar happening for a
while (since early June, I think). I found out that the xdvi-part is a
little bit broken:
- lyx calls /usr/bin/xdvi which is a sh-script
-> this script then calls xdvi.bin -binary-executable
- xdvi.bin does not exist
-> nothing much happens.
There is, however, xdvi.real binary executable and I solved the problem by
creating a link xdvi.bin -> xdvi.real (with command "ln -s xdvi.real
xdvi.bin" as root in /usr/bin directory). There may be better ways, but
this works here.
