Hello,
I am a long time user of lyx but am having the same sort of problem as was mentioned
on the lists once about missing menu entries in the VIEW menu (for viewing as
{ps|pdf|dvi|...}). I saw the problem this person was having was related to .lyx config
files from 1.2.0 being used with 1.2.1, so I removed ~/.lyx, tried reconfigure and
still no enties.
I played with the "lyx -dbg init" and playing with prefereneces (selecting gv and such
in the gv conversion display section). This got me up to a HTML (after adding viewer
as dillo), Latex (view as emacs) and Ascii (viewer as emacs) entries in VIEW menu.
I am really not understanding why it can't find the entries for all the tools
installed for conversions which are in the same place they have always been
(/usr/bin); gv, xdvi, ps2<whatever>, etc....
So now I have uninstalled lyx, cleaned out all my user lyx files in ~/.lyx and setup
again to be able to report from a clean install.
I run a sourcebased linux distro called SourceMage, have compiled lyx with the
following setup:
./configure --build=i686 --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
make install
This puts everything in /usr/share/lyx with the exception of:
/usr/bin/{lyx | noweb2lyx | reLyX}
/usr/doc/lyx
/usr/man/man1/{lyx.1 | reLyX.1}
The output from "lyx -dbg init":

Any ideas? I have lost a complete day trying to sort this out.... :(
