I am trying to export a lyx file to latex, and it seems impossible.
Weird.
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.
Does file->export->pdflatex generate a tex file?
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.
A work around would be to find the tex file in the /tmp directory and copy it from there.
(and I have tried searching the mail archives but couldn't find anyone else with this problem)
This is the first time I have heard of this problem. You could try doing a reconfigure and restarting lyx. Also what version of LyX are you using, on which operating system, and did you install from package or compile from source? -- John C. McCabe-Dansted PhD Student University of Western Australia
