You can work around this if you do the following: 1. Open document in LyX and view as PS 2. Without closing the PS-document open a schell and change to /tmp/lyxtmpdir???? 3. Look for a file ending in .idx: do a find . -name "*.idx" 4. copy said file into the same directory as your LyX-file 5. run makeindex yourfilename.idx - for details check man makeindex - you can do some fancy stuff this way. 6. include the output into your LyX-document and throw out the index-tag If you change your index you have to redo the procedure. I also believe that RedHat 7.1 showed the same problem, but the SuSE 7.2 distrubution worked fine in this regard. Hope this helpes, Michael
Dear Herbert and Michael, Sorry for late reply, and thanks for your help. The log fil says "no file filename.ind". Michaels suggestion works. I have not had time to try Lyx on Suse, but assume problem is a Michaels says. The other problem is that when I add a chapter, the TOC shows it has been added and I can navigate to it, but cntrl T, to view in PS viewer shows the new chapter, but the TOC has not been altered. If I go in and delete TOC, then add it then cntrl t, PS viewer shows TOC to be now correct.
