Re: View -> DVI doesn't work for me

I am beginning the Lyx tutorial, and it says to type a few words, save the file, then "Run LaTeX to create a dvi file, with View -> DVI."

When I do this the disk thrashed for second as if something is happening, but
nothing does. I think maybe I am missing something. I did a "rpm -qa | grep dvi" and got the following:

tetex-xdvi-1.0.7-47
kdvi-3.0.3-0.7.2
tetex-dvips-1.0.7-47.1

Is there another package(s) that I need to have for this to work correctly, or does something need to be configured differently? Thanks for any help.

The default DVI viewer is gv, which you may not have installed. Otherwise, change it to kdvi.
