Hi Jean-Marie,
thanks for your extremely prompt reply. I am using Lyx 1.6.0 with the version
of KomaScript that came with the installation of Kubuntu 8.10. I am not sure
which version it is. The class file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87668 2008-07-04 03:24 scrlttr2.cls
seems recent, but there are no version information within the file itself.
The problem I am encountering is rather peculiar: with the document language
set to French (in the LyX settings), LaTeX does not compile the letter. If I
change the setting to English, French, or German (the other languages I am
interested in), everything seems to work fine. My rather limited knowledge of
LaTex and almost complete ignorance of the scrlttr2 class is preventing me
from identifying the source of the error.
I can live with this, as my main languages are English and Italian, but I
would like to understand what's going on.
Cheers,
Stefano
