This is quite strange, as both share the same user and system dir. I think that this can happen only if you use tetex with lyx-x11 and miktex with lyx-win. In this case you will see the TeX Information only with the first one of the two you used for generating it. Try renaming ~/.lyx as ~/.lyx.save and then launch lyx-win asking for TeX Information. I suspect that now you will see the TeX Information with lyx-win but not with lyx-x11. [...] > lyx-x11 also uses xpdf and xdvi(k) Ok.

This is because you have not set the DISPLAY variable. If you launch lyx-winbin through its wrapper (lyx-win) everything should work if you have Xwin running (lyx-win will not launch it, only lyx-x11 does) because in this case /etc/lyxprofile gets read and there DISPLAY is set. Try "setenv DISPLAY :0" if you use tcsh, or "export DISPLAY=':0'" if you use bash, before launching lyx-winbin from the command line. You can insert those setting in your $HOME/.tcshrc and $HOME/.bashrc, respectively, such that you don't have to type them all the time. > Nor does lyx-1.3.7_win32_setup_v2 (which Chuck is using) > work with any Cygwin apps, with or without batfiles, with or > without startx for Cygwin.

You should rather put them in ~\LyX\bin or have C:\lyxcyg\bin as the first component of PATH prefix. -- Enrico
