Hello, Although I can't offer much help, I can confirm this problem. I have tried doing various things to get LyX to number equations (or label them), but nothing seems to work. I've also read the page (numbering.php3). My exact steps were:
1) Be in math editing mode. 2) Click on the bottom bar and type in "math-number". 3) All I get is the message "(math-number: [M-m n])" in the status bar, then nothing happens. I also tried: 1) Be in math editing mode (I tried with the cursor in various parts of the equation and with none of/some of/whole equation selected). 2) Go to Insert->Label... (I also tried M-m n, but that just echoed my keystrokes in the status bar for a while [2-3 seconds], then it switched it back to the file's general status, i.e., telling me that the file has been changed since the last save). 3) Nothing happens. I am running 1.1.6fix4 on SunOS 5.7 (which I believe is Solaris 2.7). I installed the latest tetex, xforms (0.89 -- supposedly 100% backward compatible), and xpm libraries, and the installation went fine. The document I am editing is using the 'article' class with no modifications. This is also the first time I am using LyX, but I did everything the installation and docs told me to do. The Label dialog does come up if I am not inside mathed. One thing I did notice (just as I was typing this email) is that if I open up the User Guide (Help->User's Guide) and try to add a number/label to an equation in there, it works. This is extremely puzzling, since I have not done anything out of the ordinary when creating my document (I know NO Tex/Latex). All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sachin.
