I use LyX just often enough for the re-learning curve to be annoying, but
it is still much less annoying than using Word. This coming week, I'll be
trying to sell a group consisting of Unix/Linux users, MacOS users, and
Windows users on the merits of using LyX and CVS for a few jointly
developed, long lived documents. To that end, I promised them a demo.
Unfortunately, since I used it last, my LyX configuration seems to have
rotted. I hope you can help.
My FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE system has the latest ports release of LyX, version
1.3.3. When I tried using it with the QT front end, it dumped core
instantly. No problem; xforms doesn't crash.
Unfortunately, LyX won't even print its own documentation. Whenever I
bring up /usr/local/share/lyx/doc/DocStyle.lyx and click the Print button,
LyX generates three errors, saying nobody def'ed any of the three,
\floatname{}{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\floatstyle{}
and, yes, that document does have a "float:figure" in it. Can someone
give me a quick pointer?
Thanks.
