Hi, i have a problem with instant preview: it simply claims that the
latex compilation failed, see below --- despite that I could compile
it manually. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks,

When you say could compile it manually, does "it" refer to the original
document or specifically the math inset (0lyxpreview.tex)? Are the
paths in the last message above (to lyxpreview2bitmap.py and to
0lyxpreview.tex) valid? And, importantly, is Python installed? (If you
open a command prompt in the directory where lyxpreview2bitmap.py lives
and execute lyxpreview2bitmap.py, do you get a usage message?)
