Hi Jamin, It's possible that the problem is the way LyX invokes gv. Try using a separate script to view your output. I run the following script from outside LyX to rebuild my book's table of contents, output it to postscript, and view it. The book is utp.lyx. ================================= #!/bin/sh cd /home/slitt/data/books/utp rm -f utp.ps rm -f utp.aux rm -f utp.dvi rm -f utp.idx rm -f utp.ilg rm -f utp.ind rm -f utp.log rm -f utp.tex rm -f utp.toc lyx --export latex utp.lyx latex utp.tex makeindex utp.idx konqueror utp.ind utp.ilg lyx --export ps utp.lyx gv utp.ps cd - ================================= Unless you're making indexes on the fly, you can get rid of everything from the second rm command through the makeindex command.
