lyxdiff
Hi I've been looking for a tool that compares two .lyx-files and marks the places where they differ. Searching the net, I found a small script called "texdiff". There was no manual or anything, but I got it working. It is used as follows:texdiff new_version old_version and produces a new file: new_version.diff.tex that you can compile and look at. The differences have been marked according to different styles (bold text, with margin arrows, or withing thick brackets). This works, but first you have to convert both versions of you .lyx-files to .tex-files. This might be possible to do directly with a .lyx-file. Unfortunately, 'texdiff' uses a program called 'sed', and I don't know enough about it or the .lyx-format to make it work with a .lyx-file. If there is anybody out there that has the time and sed-skill to convert "texdiff" into "lyxdiff", I've attached the "texdiff"-files (that I found at: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/PUB/italiano/texdiff/ ) Christian Ridderström PS. I saw something in the announcement about the Lyx file-format being changed, so maybe this should wait. Maybe it is just bad practice to let other programs/scripts mess with the .lyx-file?

xforms 0.89 (was: Re: 1.1.6pre3 RH7 compile problem)
Allan is correct.
Stay the hell away from the xform RPM in RH's powertools directory.
Compiling Lyx against that (xform-0.88-15) will bomb! Refer to my
previous email.
What I did was to build my own RPM for 0.89. Here is the .spec file for
your enjoyment...
For the RH newbies:
1. Copy xforms.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
2. Download
ftp://ncmir.ucsd.edu/pub/xforms/linux-i386/elf/bxform-089-glibc2.1.tgz
and copy it to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS; rpm -ba xforms.spec
Off you go! You should get 3 RPMS in the end. Runtime, Demo, and Devel.

Allan is correct.
Stay the hell away from the xform RPM in RH's powertools directory.
Compiling Lyx against that (xform-0.88-15) will bomb! Refer to my
previous email.
What I did was to build my own RPM for 0.89. Here is the .spec file for
your enjoyment...
For the RH newbies:
1. Copy xforms.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
2. Download
ftp://ncmir.ucsd.edu/pub/xforms/linux-i386/elf/bxform-089-glibc2.1.tgz
and copy it to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
3. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS; rpm -ba xforms.spec
Off you go! You should get 3 RPMS in the end. Runtime, Demo, and Devel.

"lyxdiff"
Hi I've been looking for a tool that compares two .lyx-files and marks the places where they differ. Searching the net, I found a small script called "texdiff". There was no manual or anything, but I got it working. It is used as follows:>texdiff new_version old_version and produces a new file: new_version.diff.tex that you can compile and look at. The differences have been marked according to different styles (bold text, with margin arrows, or withing thick brackets). This works, but first you have to convert both versions of you .lyx-files to .tex-files. This might be possible to do directly with a .lyx-file. Unfortunately, 'texdiff' uses a program called 'sed', and I don't know enough about it or the .lyx-format to make it work with a .lyx-file. If there is anybody out there that has the time and sed-skill to convert "texdiff" into "lyxdiff", I've attached the "texdiff"-files (that I found at: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/PUB/italiano/texdiff/ ) Christian Ridderström PS. I saw something in the announcement about the Lyx file-format being changed, so maybe this should wait. Maybe it is just bad practice to let other programs/scripts mess with the .lyx-file?

SIGSEGV signal caught (LyX 1.1.6pre3)
Hi, nearly at the end of the compiling process of LyX 1.1.6pre3 on a SuSE 6.2 an error message appeared: [...] make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/lyx-1.1.6pre3/lib´ ./build-listerrors . lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX [...] ./buld-listerrors: line 24: 18158 Aborted $lyx --export literate $dir/examples/Literate.lyx [...] Nevertheless I started LyX from the "src"-directory and everything seems to work very well.

Is there a masterthesis style for Lyx ?
Hi all there, I am quite new to LyX (using LyX 1.1.5 under SuSE Linux). I am just writing my master thesis using the "article" document style. But is it the right style for my purpose ? I found the files thesis.cls and thesis.sty somewhere in the Internet, but I couldnt get them to work. I did a copy of report.layout, renamed it to thesis.layout and replaced all "report" occurrencies with "thesis". But nothing happend. Anybody knows which style to use preferable for master thesis and how to activate it ? Please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], because I am not on the mailing list at the moment. Thanks a lot for your help, ROLF -- * Rolf-Armin Puin * * [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * http://www.puin.de http://www.el-clan.de * Die kürzeste Formel um etwas zu erreichen: Tu es!

Lars, has this been solved recently? Almost anytime LyX dumps core at startup the problem has turned out to be that you have mismatched glibc and xforms libraries. RH do a good job of getting the xforms library versions wrong on their powertools cd. I'd recommend you go to ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ and see what Kyvan has there or better yet go for the xforms ftp site at: ftp://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/ which appears to be down at the moment or goto ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/XFORMS/ and get the xforms-glibc2.1 tarball for linux. RH always seems to keep the xforms-glibc tarball instead which is incorrect. One way to help ensure xforms has a bad name isn't it: bundling the wrong library with your distro. Of course this could be some other problem but without a backtrace I can't do more than guess. > BTW: Are the lyx lists archived somewhere?
