 I had a similar problem with foiltex and viewing in gv. The problem
 was intermittent. I haven't used foiltex for about 6 months, but every
 so often, a landscape page or pages would have no left side margin. I
 never was able to resolve the problem. I was able to go into the
 postscript code and manually fix it (which is a pain). It appears that
 some how the margin instructions on some landscape pages get mangled
 when using foiltex when creating the postscript. This was with LyX
 1.1.6 or earlier. I haven't used foiltex with 1.2.1 but it appears
 from what you are saying there is still a problem.

Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's
because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with
foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to
portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now
I got a similar problem:

I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I
nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to
view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and
when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set
up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. 

Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide =
landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of
course?)

Hi,


Well, I just reinstalled gcc, which seems to be a C compiler. Since it 
was my C++ compiler that was lacking, if I did have any, I also 
installed gpp, the C++ compiler. This probably solved it, 'cause 
configuration went fine. The machine recognized gcc as my C compiler 
and gpp as my C++ compiler, I needed both.

Now I'm facing new difficulties.

1. It can not find libforms or libxforms. Since I do have XForms 
installed, the 0.89-1 rpm, I have to direct it there with the 
--with-extra-lib option, according to the INSTALL file. I do not have 
the faintest idea where these files should be. Could you help?



2. It cannot find forms.h. I suppose they should be part of XForms as 
well. Might there be something wrong with my XForms package? According 
to the INSTALL file, this could be the case if I haven't installed the 
kernel sources. Does that mean that I shouldn't have the rpm installed 
but have compiled it from source code instead? Do you have a good 
solution for this. If I do have to remove my current XForms 
installation and install it from source instead, LyX 1.2.1, which uses 
my current XForms, might not work anymore, even if I install the new 
version, right? Or will everything go fine as long as i run ldconfig 
after make install?

Well, there is progress though... :)

Hello,

you need to install the package xformsd to compile anything related to 
xforms.
But you should really update  to xforms1.0 if you can

lyx on cygwin

2003-01-29 Thread Max Bian
Hi guys, 

I am trying to get lyx working on cygwin so that I can work on my
thesis from both linux and windows if I need to.

I first tried the tetex package distributed with cygwin. I works on
small files. If I throw my thesis on it, it just won't go. The errors
are something like tex capacity exceeded.

I then tried pfTex or TexLive. That's Windows native. I have big
trouble to get it work. First of all, it is missing many basic files
like setspace.sty. Also it has a strange koma-script package that needs
scrlfile.sty and it doesn't even have it. When I run reconfig from lyx
within the cygwin shell, I saw some errors.I am not sure if it is
possible to just drop in the lyx files from a linux system to expect
work in that environment. I have all my paths the unix-way, eg.
/usr/

Can anyone give me advice on which one I should fix?  Should I fix the
tetex package comes with cygwin? If so, how do I fix that error: tex
capacity exceeded.  If the other one is better, anyone had
experience with that pfTex?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response.

After installing the missing sty files in the pfTex package, I tried my
lyx file. The error is still the same! Tex Capacity Exceeded

So, the same file works ok on linux with tetex perfectly, but won't
work with tetex or pfTex on windows.

Did I misuse any macro?

3) When I export to latex and then run latex2html on the result (having

this case.

Any help is very much appreciated.

the web site for a long time.  Tetex went through a complete re-packaging and
upgrade at cygwin during the Fall of 2002.

And both before and after the cygwin upgrade, and through the course of
several LyX upgrades, I never saw any problems with tetex + lyx, even for a
book-size project (although probably with fewer fonts and packages being used
than might be the case in some projects.)

Of course, I am in no position to offer any guarantees, but my experience with
cygwin's tetex has been quite positive.  Plus, if there are tex-related
problems (like running out of memory), the fact that more people (around here,
anyway) use tetex than other distributions is a plus.

lyx-code and box

2003-01-29 Thread Eric . Doutreleau

Hi

I'm using lyx for some moment but i m a novice latex user.

I'm using lyx-code to write the content of files on my
documentation.
Now i would to customize the way lyx-code appear on the final
document.
I have read yhe archive of list and i found the way to change
the fonts by adding some configuration on the latex preambule.

I would like to make my lyx-code paragraph surrounded by a box
to make it separated from the text.

I have tried something but i had no luck.

does someone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,

I'm trying to use SPSS-generated diagrams in LYX. Everything's working
fine, only german umlauts are not shown. Not in LYX, not in gv or
Kghostview.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Re: lyx on cygwin [Solved! 100%]

2003-01-29 Thread Max Bian
After checking all the files, the problem is finally solved with
version 3.7 of the drftcite package and the cygwin version of tetex.

Bibtex from fptex cannot deal with the cygwin (unix) style path in the
.aux files becaue it reads /home/max/.

Thanks for all of you who helped.

Well I dont know if its the best way to do it but what I have done in

twice with

\caption [text to appear in list of   figures for figure 1]{text to 
appear directly under the picture for figure 1 }\caption [text to appear

see the example attached. Lyx wont be able to find the image so you will 
need to change it to one of your own.

 I had a similar problem with foiltex and viewing in gv. The problem

 postscript code and manually fix it (which is a pain). It appears that
 some how the margin instructions on some landscape pages get mangled
 when using foiltex when creating the postscript. This was with LyX
 1.1.6 or earlier. I haven't used foiltex with 1.2.1 but it appears
 from what you are saying there is still a problem.

Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's
because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with
foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to
portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now
I got a similar problem:

I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I
nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to
view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and
when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set
up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. 

Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide =
landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of
course?)

Hi,


Well, I just reinstalled gcc, which seems to be a C compiler. Since it

configuration went fine. The machine recognized gcc as my C compiler

Now I'm facing new difficulties.

1. It can not find libforms or libxforms. Since I do have XForms 
installed, the 0.89-1 rpm, I have to direct it there with the 
--with-extra-lib option, according to the INSTALL file. I do not have 
the faintest idea where these files should be. Could you help?



2. It cannot find forms.h. I suppose they should be part of XForms as 
well. Might there be something wrong with my XForms package? According 
to the INSTALL file, this could be the case if I haven't installed the 
kernel sources. Does that mean that I shouldn't have the rpm installed 
but have compiled it from source code instead? Do you have a good 
solution for this. If I do have to remove my current XForms 
installation and install it from source instead, LyX 1.2.1, which uses 
my current XForms, might not work anymore, even if I install the new

Well, there is progress though... :)

you need to install the package xformsd to compile anything related to

lyx on cygwin

2003-01-29 Thread Max Bian
Hi guys, 

I am trying to get lyx working on cygwin so that I can work on my
thesis from both linux and windows if I need to.

I first tried the tetex package distributed with cygwin. I works on
small files. If I throw my thesis on it, it just won't go. The errors
are something like tex capacity exceeded.

I then tried pfTex or TexLive. That's Windows native. I have big
trouble to get it work. First of all, it is missing many basic files
like setspace.sty. Also it has a strange koma-script package that needs
scrlfile.sty and it doesn't even have it. When I run reconfig from lyx
within the cygwin shell, I saw some errors.I am not sure if it is
possible to just drop in the lyx files from a linux system to expect
work in that environment. I have all my paths the unix-way, eg.
/usr/

Can anyone give me advice on which one I should fix?  Should I fix the
tetex package comes with cygwin? If so, how do I fix that error: tex
capacity exceeded.  If the other one is better, anyone had
experience with that pfTex?

Thanks.

So, the same file works ok on linux with tetex perfectly, but won't

 teTeX is not bad, I've never used pfTeX, so _I_ would try to

It is called fpTeX and it is just a native port of tetex to
Windows. I would strongly recommend to use it instead of cygwin
tetex. However, it is probably correct, that the problem is not
in the TeX distribution (all of them are capable of processing

Of course, I am in no position to offer any guarantees, but my experience with

Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's
because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with
foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to
portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now
I got a similar problem:

I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I
nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to
view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and
when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set
up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. 

Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide =
landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of
course?)

lyx on cygwin

2003-01-29 Thread Max Bian
Hi guys, 

I am trying to get lyx working on cygwin so that I can work on my
thesis from both linux and windows if I need to.

I first tried the tetex package distributed with cygwin. I works on
small files. If I throw my thesis on it, it just won't go. The errors
are something like "tex capacity exceeded".

I then tried "pfTex" or TexLive. That's Windows native. I have big
trouble to get it work. First of all, it is missing many basic files
like setspace.sty. Also it has a strange koma-script package that needs
scrlfile.sty and it doesn't even have it. When I run reconfig from lyx
within the cygwin shell, I saw some errors.I am not sure if it is
possible to just drop in the lyx files from a linux system to expect
work in that environment. I have all my paths the unix-way, eg.
"/usr/...".

Can anyone give me advice on which one I should fix?  Should I fix the
tetex package comes with cygwin? If so, how do I fix that error: "tex
capacity exceeded".  If the other one is better, anyone had
experience with that pfTex?

Thanks.

This is often some mis-use of a macro and not due to a real limitation.
(although there are plenty stupid hard coded limits in TeX)

teTeX is not bad, I've never used pfTeX, so _I_ would try to fix teTeX.

Re: lyx on cygwin

2003-01-29 Thread Max Bian
Thanks for the quick response.

After installing the missing sty files in the pfTex package, I tried my
lyx file. The error is still the same! "Tex Capacity Exceeded"

So, the same file works ok on linux with tetex perfectly, but won't
work with tetex or pfTex on windows.

Did I misuse any macro? 

Any expert on the differences of tex on windows and latex? Could that
be a lyx problem?

How should I know if you send old mails instead of a minimal example of
code that exhibits that behaviour? [Just in case the minimal example is
more than 100 lines or so you can send it to me in private mail]

Is there a difference in the exported .tex under Linux and Windows?

lyx->html. Inline maths formulae missing!

2003-01-29 Thread Raphael Clifford
I have installed latex2html and "reconfigured" lyx.  When I Export->HTML
it seems to be going fine however, I get the following problems...

1) The resultant html file has references to .png files that don't
appear to have been created so none of the inline maths formulae show
up.  When I search for img*.png none are found.

2) I am using foiltex and there are some warnings that latex2html
produces when run from lyx...

"Warning: No implementation found for option: `a4paper' for `foils'

3) When I export to latex and then run latex2html on the result (having
added \usepackage{foilhtml, html} by hand) I get a completely different
set of problems.  The inline maths formulae images *are* generated in
this case.

Any help is very much appreciated.

The instructions for installing Claus Hentschel's windows port specifically 
warn the user not to install
tetex, its in bold text and in a big box! Some people have reported it 
functioning but if the author of
the port says not to, I assume he has a good reason. Try some other free Tex 
packages like MikTeX
or fpTeX.

I don't have the bibunit stuff, so I commented it out and get:


Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
 4604 strings out of 25890
 58527 string characters out of 197429
 123891 words of memory out of 384000
 7523 multiletter control sequences out of 1+15000
 14428 words of font info for 23 fonts, out of 40 for 1000
 14 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000
 29i,6n,36p,316b,274s stack positions out of 300i,100n,500p,5b,4000s

So it _is_ pretty fat.

Are you sure you need all of the packages you pull in in your config.tex?

As a physics guy, I am always curious about everything. Since he didn't
give any reason why not, I just tried it.

And both packages burned me, so I don't see the differences.

Yes, I need them all for now.  I may later remove draftcite. I am not
sure how much difference that makes.

The same set of lyx files works perfectly fine on a Mandrake 8.2.
Anyone  has any solution?

Thanks.

So probably your limits are different on the two instalations.

What does your /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and the corresponding file under
Windows say?

They look different, but the numbers in windows texmf.cnf are greater
or equal to the numbers found in linux texmf.cnf.

Can anyone tell me if it make sense to increase all the numbers in
texmf by   appending a couple of "0"?

Thanks.

It is called fpTeX and it is just a native port of tetex to
Windows. I would strongly recommend to use it instead of cygwin
tetex. However, it is probably correct, that the problem is not
in the TeX distribution (all of them are capable of processing
basically any document these days) but in your document.
