Thanks Herbert for the reply.

These are the results of kpsewhich for the .pro files:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/pstricks/pst-node.pro
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/pstricks/pst-dots.pro
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/pstricks/pstricks.pro

I generated the .pdf file (File|Export|PDF) from boxNode.lyx and it shows exactly what is on http://www.pstricks.de/Nodes/nodes.phtml

Attached is the Lyx file.

I am trying the Pstricks package to create box matrices using the examples from http://www.pstricks.de/Nodes/nodes.phtml.

I imported boxNode.tex into Lyx and run DVI.

However i get three error messages in Xdvi and a simple matrix without the boxes:
cannot find postscript file for inclusion in document: pst-node.pro
cannot find postscript file for inclusion in document: pst-dots.pro
cannot find postscript file for inclusion in document: pstricks.pro
but kpsewhich recognises all three files.


what does kpsewhich really say?

Running PDF gets the thing done perfectly


no, not possible, PDF cannot understand the PostScript code.

Lyx 1.3.3 on MacOsX 1.2.8

is this normal? any hints? (particularly Herbert)


give the LyX example file
