BibTeX-files

2000-03-10 Thread Herbert Voss

if you need a little and easy to handle program for
tex-bibfiles:

http://130.15.74.70/JavaBib/JavaBib.html

unpack this archive in /usr/local/lib or anything else,
modify the path in JavaBiB and create a .JavaBib.cfg file

touch .JavaBib.cfg

start the application with JavaBib. there is a windows-
version too, because it's java ... ;-)

It's probably a different bug in 1.1.5cvs.

Try this patch, it will probably fix your 1.1.5cvs problem (thanks to Dekel
for spotting the fix).

For those who want to have an unstripped lyx, you can download and install
the lyxgdb RPM from my ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/devel directory.

This RPM just contains the lyx binary (named lyxgdb so it does not
conflict with the existing installation).

Well, if so, the behaviour is re-introduced in 1.1.5cvs ;-|
I had a crash today but could not reproduce it.
Maybe we should all run an unstripped lyx in a debugger (like gdb) and

Second fix for LyX 1.1.4 available

2000-03-10 Thread Lars Gullik Bjønnes


This is patch-1.1.4fix2, which is the second maintenance patch against
LyX 1.1.4.  Note that you should apply patch-1.1.4fix1 before
1.1.4fix2.

The purpose of these maintenance releases is to backport the small
bugs found during development in the latest stable release. All of the
fixes provided here have already been applied to our main cvs tree.
Do not let the size of this patch fool you: all the changes are
simple/trivial
fixes. The size of the patch cames from the configure script, which
has been
re-generated.

Since the changes in the configure script trigger some automake magic,
do the following to apply the patch

cd lyx-1.1.4pre1
make distclean
zcat patch-1.1.4fix2.gz | patch -p1
touch Makefile.in */Makefile.in src/config.h.in

Then rebuild LyX as usual.

For all questions related to this patch, mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This patch fixes the following problems in LyX 1.1.4fix1 (these are in
fact bugs of LyX 1.1.4 which were not fixed by the 1.1.4fix1 patch):

 - fix build problems on some architectures ('fl_gc' symbol not found)
 - fix warnings about missing return type in X headers for some
   gcc/egcs versions.
 - fix parsing of LaTeX log files, where some errors got unnoticed.
 - add support for textclasses with more than 128 layouts (yes some
   people do that!)
 - fix bug with filenames containing more that one "." (for example,
   a.b.lyx was exported to a.ps).
 - fix partly bug with bibtex files located in the directory of the
   document (now using an absolute path works).
 - fix bug in math editor, where greek letters (and some other
   symbols) had too much spacing around them.
 - remove function buffer-previous from binding files, since it is not
   implemented.


Thanks to Jean-Marc for providing this.

Try 1.1.4fix1 first and see if it happens there.

I fixed the problem :-), now with Lyx working, i'll breath easier.

Thanks Jean-Marc!

I thought that latex was OK because of the result of ltxcheck but it was'nt 
the case:

$ latex texte.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2)
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

It was just because I didn't put the latex.fmt file in the good place.

For archive:

With debian 2.1, there is a bug with the script fmtutil in tetex and we have 
to manually do the file latex.fmt by using (thanks to debian-french mailing 
list):

tex -ini -progname=latex latex.ini

and after put the file latex.fmt in the directory /var/lib/texmf/web2c.

Wrap text around figure

2000-03-10 Thread Raphael GURLIE


Hi Lyxers,

My question is : is it possible to have text wrapped around a 
figure in the itemize environement ?
I've tried, but the figure does not appears anywhere in the
postscript document.

(And sometimes, text is printed over the figure in the standard
environnement ... )

Something to do about this ??

LyX-1.1.4 bug

2000-03-10 Thread Ronald Florence

With LyX-1.1.4, if a document is open, and (perhaps accidentally) the
user opens the File->Open dialogue and clicks on the file name, a
popup reports that the file is already open and asks if the user wants
to reload it.  If the user clicks `yes' LyX-1.1.4 crashes.

I believe this bug is easily reproducible.  If not, I can build an
unstripped LyX-1.1.4 and run it inside gdb if a stack trace or other
information would be useful to the developers.

I don't know whether this bug is related to the random crashes that I
and others noted with LyX-1.1.4.  What is the latest stable version?
I don't recall random crashes or this bug with earlier versions.

Thanks,

cross referencing

2000-03-10 Thread Tony Dancer

I have a master document with included lyx files (Include File / LyX 
document specified) for all my chapters. I find this the easiest way to
manage the thesis. I want to insert a cross reference in one chapter
(chapter one) to refer to another chapter (chapter two). I have
inserted the label in chapter two, and in the master document if i wish
to insert a cross reference, sure enough all the labels are there. 

But when I load up chapter one, of course the reference is not on my
list of available labels, because chapter one has no explicit knowledge
(presumably) of chapter two. 

This is going to cause major problems with cross-referencing throughout
my thesis. Is there any way round this? I am sure I am missing
something obvious, but can't find the answer in the documentation
(1.0.4, which I know is a little out of date).

I'd appreciate any help.

Where do you get the message? In LyX? On the console?
What's the name of the file? Have you tried to use a 8.3 file name?
How did you create the eps file? Is it 'clean' PS (i.e. does it start
