I am trying to export a lyx file to latex, and it seems impossible.

I have tried file->export->latex which results in the status bar displaying "(buffer-output latex)" but no file being created and the contents not in the clipboard.

if I type "lyx -export latex <file.lyx>" then it displays a lot of text including that it has written ~/file.tex, but the file is not there.

I can do lyx -export text/dvi/pdf etc and it works fine. -export tex results in a format not known error.

I presume I am doing something stupid as lyx will happily convert to a latex file on the way to anything else, but it seems impossible to get it to output the actual latex file.

Thanks!

(and I have tried searching the mail archives but couldn't find anyone else with this problem)
