Here's my sure fire way to update the index. Note that I run latex several
times to make sure the index gets updated. The actual index updating is done
by makeindex, which I believe comes with my LaTeX distribution (tetex).
Here's the script I use:
rm -f $1.aux
rm -f $1.dvi
rm -f $1.ps
rm -f $1.pdf
rm -f $1.idx
rm -f $1.ilg
rm -f $1.ind
rm -f $1.log
rm -f $1.tex
rm -f $1.toc
lyx --export latex $1.lyx
latex $1.tex
makeindex $1.idx
ilglines=`wc -l $1.ilg | cut -d " " -f 1`
if test "$ilglines" = "6"; then
latex $1.tex
latex $1.tex
# Two commands below DO NOT ensure embedded fonts.
# dvips -o $1.ps $1.dvi
# ps2pdf $1.ps
# Two commands below ensure all fonts embedded!
dvips -t letter -Pdownload35 -o $1.ps $1.dvi
ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true $1.ps
#nohup gv $1.pdf &
#exit 0
else
echo ERROR: Inspect $1.ilg and $1.ind!
gvim $1.ilg $1.ind
echo ERROR: Inspect $1.ilg and $1.ind!
exit 1
