garst gabbed,

 Hi rick, stupid question, but... did you run texhash and then
 reconfigure in LyX?

I wish I could say "no," but I did.  

The problem continues with raw latex.  I'm about ready to pull  tre 
plug on this machine and use my own box running freebsd, but I *really* 
want to have that one at home.

correct form of latex environment variables?

1999-09-05 Thread Richard E. Hawkins


hmm, looks like I just got it to work.  I set TEXFONTS to 
/home/hawk/fonts.  But it seems to me that last time I was told it 
should be :/home/hawk/fonts so as to keep system fonts as well.  If I 
ever come to understand this (rather than just having it working), I'll 
make a blurb for the docs . . .


Rick, who has parkave back, and really doesn't understand why . . .

Better to use AC_CHECK_FUNCS(strcasecmp strncasecmp stricmp strnicmp) and

#if !defined(HAVE_STRCASECMP)  defined(HAVE_STRICMP)
#define strcasecmp stricmp
#endif
#if !defined(HAVE_STRNCASECMP)  defined(HAVE_STRNICMP)
#define strncasecmp strnicmp
#endif

, that is, in case you have to use autoconf...

FYI non of strcasecmp, strncasecmp, stricmp nor strnicmp is in ANSI nor
in POSIX.  GNU libc is not always comforming to ANSI/POSIX standard.
In quite a few aspects, EMX is much more comforming to ANSI/POSIX.
However, strcasecmp and strncasecmp are in UNIX95 and UNIX98.
