Jens, Everything you told me mostly works. This is very helpful -- thank
you!
So here's where that leaves me:
The viewers and exporting for dvi now work. :-)
Preview is working fine for PDF viewing. (seems fine unless there's
something else I should use)
2 of the 3 pdf conversions work. On viewing or exporting with dvipdfm, I
get the following error:
... error running dvipdfmx -p letter -o 'newfile1.pdf' 'newfile1.dvi'
dvipdfmx exists. So is the command line wrong?
I'm a little confused about which X11 to use. I installed the OSX one as
you recommended. But I still have the plain vanilla fink X11 installed.
Should I remove that? I read somewhere that I needed the fink one (and NOT
the apple one) for some things. Apple's seems to add a basic window
manager and xterm -- which is nice. But I'm not sure if there is a
disadvantage here.
Also, it seems that I have to have X11 running to use the DVI. So do I
need to start X11 before running the DVI viewer? And which? And should I
remove the other X11?
And oops -- to bring this up to the functionality I depend on in linux on
the Mac, I mostly need to be able to export to html as well as pdf. two of
three types of pdf export are working now.
I guess I assumed that I got a new html export when I upgraded to 1.4.3 in
slackware. But I've been using TTH for years now which I installed a
couple years back. So I guess that wasn't part of the upgrade then. But it
sure does work seamlessly in LyX 1.4.3 on linux if it's from that old
install. The exported files retain the important parts of the lyx
formatting I need and require little or no modification thereafter.
The other thing along these lines I need is to be able to import from Word
files. Getting all this going would handle all my import/export and
viewing needs to be able to fully use LyX on the Mac.
As a Mac newbie I've not been able to find a clear answer to exactly what
happens when you move to a .app to trash. Does it actually fully uninstall
the application?
And here one more stupid question from a long-time LyX user: what's a
"wiki"? <:-O I've seen it and probably should know what it is. Is it an
acronym?
thanks very much,
