Hello,
I’ve just installed Lyx 1.4.1 under Windows XP with
lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe
<ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe> . I
am using the sh.exe under cygwin, the Python 2.4, the gs8.51 and
ImageMagick6.7 Q16.
I can start Lyx with no problem and download a file. But when I want to
compile it with DVI from “edit” menu, I’ve got the following error:
---------------------------
Subsistema MS-DOS de 16 bits

5367625/3432
La CPU NTVDM ha encontrado una instrucción no permitida. (CPU NTVDM has
found an unallowed instruction)
CS:0fa9 IP:21c6 OP:63 6c 61 64 6f Elija "Cerrar" para finalizar la
aplicación.
And then
Would you know where it can come from?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Carine.
I think LyX needs to use the MSys version of sh.exe
not the Cygwin version, when installing LyX.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download
I think the error is because a script isn't running right
and Windows gives a very general error message, misidentifying
some unknown process as 16bit process not working (technically).
If you have Cygwin fully installed, there is a nice Windows
version, lyx-1.4.1-cygwin.tar.gz file at (contains readme )
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1
From the command line can you build a dvi file with
"latex test.tex" should produce test.dvi
can you view test.dvi with "yap test.dvi" (or xdvi test.dvi)?
If the above doesn't work, then the problem is in your Latex
installation, not LyX. If it does work, then try fixing LyX:
What you could do is uninstall LyX including ...\Application Data\
Lyx\ Install Msys and put it in the Windows Path statement ahead
of Cygwin (move Cygwin to the end of your Path statement).
The reinstall LyX. Save anything important first in those folders.
