From: "N.W. England" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am trying to export a lyx file to latex, and it seems impossible.
just some stupid questions: which directory are you in? are you on MS Windows and do you have administrator privileges? do you have the rights to write on the folder you're in? are you using extra-packages? are you connected to the web when compiling? I suppose the answer is yes. but I experienced (almost) the same problem when exporting to pdf (pdflatex). I do file>export>pdf but nothing happens. I'm on MS Win. I copied myfile.lyx to a directory in C:\ as the administrator. Then , with a non-admin account, I tried to export and I get an error (the temporary pdf file does not exist). I switch back to the admin account and it works. therefore I suggest you also check for your rights to write on disk. another problem could be related to the extra package. Depending on the mode you're in (ask for package installation or not) you won't compile if you're not connected and LyX cannot download the package (BTW this could be something to me fixed). I hope this was useful to someone. Regards, -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/ | __o | It is easier | _`\(,_ | to get forgiveness | (_)/ (_) | than permission
