Dear Lyx users,
I have a strange problem when using a newer version of Lyx. Here's my
problem:
I have written my thesis using Lyx 1.6.2. Now I have a new computer
running Lyx 1.6.7. Both computers had Ubuntu linux running.
Now the lyx file can be opened and compiled to pdf on the old computer
but not on the new one that has the newer lyx version.
I get the following error messages:
------------------------
\newpage
{}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
------------------------
I'm only guessing without seeing the rest of the file, but this looks
pretty bad, since \newpage must surely be defined. Possibly there is
some conflict between your custom LaTeX preamble and whatever LyX is
doing in 1.6.7.
The way to debug this is to export the file to LaTeX from both of your
machines, then run "diff -u file162.lyx file167.lyx" and see if there
are differences between the LaTeX versions. Also, you can manually
compile the newer one and see if you get more helpful messages.
