Hello, I am a newbie running a computer with Ubuntu 8.1 (intrepid) where I tried installing Lyx and have it work with XeTex. Eventually I opted for the latest Lyx package on getdeb (version 1.6.2) and the repository files for TexLive/Xetex. I later realised that the latex/xetex were way too old so I got the TexLive 2009 installer (somehow I had some problems installing the TexLive 2008 DVD). Now, after setting Lyx up for XeTex, I get the following message when I try to export or view with XeTex: File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ6121/lyx_tmpbuf0/Test.pdf I didn't get it before with the 2007 repository version (although I had problems with other things that eventually pushed me to try to update everything). If I run a tex file with xetex with the command line I get: This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.0 (TeX Live 2009) restricted \write18 enabled. ---! /home/arjuna/.texlive2009/texmf-var/web2c/xetex/xelatex.fmt doesn't match xetex.pool (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
I hope someone can help. All the best
