I'm trying to install lyx-1.2.3 on my Windows 2000 machine.
It seemed to be successful, but I'm having a couple of
problems.
(1) I can't get the ".lyx" directory created in my home directory.
(2) I can't view the document with XDVI and so forth, and I have
no export options to .DVI, .EPS, .PDF, etc. (which I assume
I could deal with once my .lyx directory problem is resolved,
so that I can input the proper configurations.
For the record, I'm using CygWin with fpTeX, and Exceed is
my X-server.
When I fire up the "lyxwin32.exe" executable, I get the error alert from LYX
"Error! Couldn't create directory:
C:/My Home/Lyxfiles/.lyx "
I can dismiss this error and run LYX, but I can't set up my DVI preferences
and all that (or am I wrong in assuming it's impossible without the .lyx
directory in place?).
I've attached a copy of my "lyxprofile" file which is located in
C:/cygwin/usr/local/share/lyx/etc
Thanks for any help.
