Currently I am running Ubuntu 13.10 with LyX 2.1.0. I seem to be
having some problems with some of the custom modules I usually load.
Actually I have two different problems
The first problem is that I seem to have lost the ability to use a
custom module (ShortInsertNames ). Typically, I will have Natbibapa,
ShortInsetNames, Rnw(knitr) & ToDo loaded. Now when I compile and even
when I do Document > I am getting an error, “Error reading
ShortInsertNames when I try to load ShortInsetNames. Both the ToDo and
ShortInsetNames are in /home/john/.lyx.
Interestingly enough Short Label but not Short Ref appears in Custom
Insets and will insert an Undefined field in the document and I can
compile the document.
The second problem is that whenever I try to compile a document with
RnW(knitr) loaded I get an error message saying
An error occurred while running: Rscript –verbose –no-save –no-restore
"/usr/share/lyx/scripts/lyxknitr.R"
"/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.qXaUOysc4933/lyx_tmpbuf4/""lists.footnotes.endnotes.Rnw"
"/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.qXaUOysc4933/lyx_tmpbuf4/""lists.footnotes.endnotes.tex"

This was occuring before the upgrade to 2.1.0 but there was no problem
with ShortInsertNames before the upgrade. A look at
/usr/share/lyx/scripts/lyxknitr.R says that that the file exists and
when I open it, it looks fine.
The worst of it is, I cannot think of any changes I made to my setup
except I added some Brother printer drivers to my Windows 7 setup
(it's a dual-boot machine).
I'd appreciate any suggestions for either problem. If I can get the
blasted ShortInsetNames to work again I can perhaps move the
Rnw(knitr) problem to the knitr group
I have attached a small example file.
Hullo John.
I'm the writer of the ShortInsetNames module. I tried it with 2.1.0beta2
earlier today and it worked. I've now installed 2.1.0 and it doesn't,
but it's easily fixed. Open the module in a text editor and insert
double quotes so that the relevant two lines look like:
InsetLayout "Flex:ShortLabel"
and
InsetLayout "Flex:ShortXRef"
The module as you have it at present lacks the double quotes, which seem
to have become necessary only in the last "birth throes" of 2.1.0.
