Are you interested in packaging eLyXer for Fedora? May I help in any way? The Debian package is in testing (ready for the next stable) and it is quite mature. The latest version is also in Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/elyxer Alex.

No, this is entirely a Fedora issue. It should be sufficient to post to fedora-l...@redhat.com, which, if you're a Fedora user, you should probably subscribe to, anyway. rh

Dear Manoj, Unfortunately, I had no time to contact Fedora packagers. I thought it was more important to write to the Lyx users first. Regards, Gyorgy
Re: Lyx in Fedora 12
This is probably a packaging error on Fedora 12. Have you tried to discover and contact the maintainer for this package? -- Manoj On Wednesday 06 January 2010 08:05:39 am Dr. Gyorgy Pota wrote: > Dear Users, > > Lyx did not show any eps figures in a freshly installed Fedora 12 > system.

Lyx in Fedora 12
Dear Users, Lyx did not show any eps figures in a freshly installed Fedora 12 system. Running Lyx in a terminal revealed that "convert" was unsuccesful. Finally it turned out that ImageMagick was not installed for Lyx although I installed Lyx via yum, which, in principle, installs everything necessary. I was so angry, I almost went back to a well-known non-free op. system and to its famous word processor. :-) I hope this helps some of you. Gyorgy Pota
