Steven I never used it because I did not know about it. It would have
Steven been useful for footnote text to be replaced with text in
Steven brackets (preferred by some journals). Much quicker than cut
Steven text, paste text, collapse footnote, delete collapsed
Steven footnote.
Or add in the preamble (not tested, of course)
\renewcommand{\footnote}[1]{[{#1}]}
OK, It is probably more complicated than this, but I suspect that
killing a footnotes by hand is not the right solution. After all,
these are still notes, the only difference is the way they are presented.

How to avoid system blocking by Lyx preview convert processes ???
Hi, I'm facing to a really serious and urgent problem: My thesis document includes now some hundred figures (bitmaps with 100 to 300 dpi converted to ps-files) on about 300 pages. I just switched to Suse8.1 and Lyx 1.2.3 two days ago and was working with Lyx 1.1.6fix4 (Suse 7.3) up to now, where I had no problem with the same document on the same machine (Athlon 700, 512Mb-ram). Now, when I open my doc with 1.2.3 and want to continue writing at the end of the doc I'try to scroll down. Yes I'm just only trying! Because every image is starting a convert-command to make the preview and there are a few hundred processes blocking the whole system for the rest of my working day! In Lyx 1.1.6 this was no problem! (previews where only created directly after loading the doc and it was many times faster than now). Is there any possibility, to get the previews at one time and not only when I'm scrolling to the page with with an image??? How to speed up the preview (color preferred, but even gray or monochrome is much too slow)? Any possibility to make a permanent hardcopy of the preview images that are used in Lyx? (So Lyx has not do to the convert every time again and again when the doc is loaded) Any way to avoid convert at all? It is important for me to see the images I'm writing about in my thesis. So just to say no preview for each figure doesn't solve my problem. By the way, is there any trick to get the show page command again which started gv externally for the ps files??? (it was so useful for me in Lyx 1.1.6) What happens if I start Lyx with nice? Will I ever see any preview then? Thank's a lot in advance, I really hope that I may use 1.2.3!

Configurable Cursor (Was: Scroll one line at a time)
On Thu, 6 Feb 2003, Dan Strychalski wrote: There is a way to configure LyX to scroll only one line, but it has some quirks: 1. The line the cursor is on is first jerked to mid-screen, except when at the top or bottom of the file. (The jerking to mid-screen is actually a great aid in finding LyX's easy-to-lose text cursor.) Precisely! When editing long documents, keeping track of cursor is non-trivial and I depend on lyX ^L (emacs key-bindings) to find it. A nice black blob (or green or any color that contrasts with both background and letters) would be much easier on the eyes (and nerves). (I can always find the emacs cursor. On the rare occasion, I edit raw files with emacs for just that reason. --This clearly courts more intense forms of pain than searching for a buried cursor.) I don't find a preferences option to change cursor behavior and at the moment, In 1.2.3, lyxcursor.C (and lyxcursor.h) don't obviously control cursor shape, color and mode (blink, constant) -- but my language of choice is not C++ so I may be missing it. A configurable cursor would be ideal. More complete documentation of the lyxcursor files (as already noted in existing comments) would be helpful. Help about code to change to get the desired cursor would be welcome.

bibtex and lyx 1.2.1
Hi,
I've recently upgraded from lyx 1.1.6 to 1.2.1 and have run into some
problems with bibtex. My old lyx files still compile perfectly with all
references in order, however when I have to enter a new citation, the
citation popup in lyx only displays the first reference in my Bibtex file.
The only way I can enter new references is to write in latex \cite{key}.
This works fine but I'm keen to get it working in lyx also. The following
is how my Bibtex file blah.bib looks:
@article{
Anderson95,
Author = {Anderson, M.H.},
Title = {Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dilute Atomic
Vapour},
Journal = {Science},
Volume = {269},
Pages = {198},
Keywords = {BEC, first experiment},
Year = {1995} }
@article{

Author = {Balykin, V.},
Title = {Quantum-State-Selective Mirror Reflection of Atoms by Laser
Light},
Journal = {Physical Review Letters},
Volume = {60},

Pages = {2137},
Keywords = {Electric fields},

Would anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?

One reply was to see (lyx 1.1.6fix4) Help - Extended Features:
Section 3.3.6.2, i.e., put \usepackage{ae,aecompl} in preamble.
Then someone said that selecting ae fonts (Layout - Document) should

I replied that this works. It seems I was incorrect.
The only way I can get good looking fonts (and searchable text) in pdf

aecompl is needed, ae alone will not do it.
Am I missing something here?
I don't use ae fonts (that I know of, anyway). Don't know if there's a
universal solution, but I've had pretty good luck exporting as a dvi and
then using dvipdfm -f cmr.map file name. You might also take a look at

Including bibliographies ....
Hi All, I know this has been answered previously, but I can't seem to find the reference, and the tips and tricks discussion of it doesn't seem to work in my case. My problem is this ... I have one main document which has a number of chapters. Each chapter contains bibliographic references (bibtex references), and the main document also contains a bibliographic environment at the end. Now I want the bibliographic data to print only at the end in the main document, once all the chapters are collated, and I don't want bibliographic matter at the end of each chapter. How can I do this? I have tried doing a dvi on the main document, and then on each chapter, and then removing the bib references in the chapters, but nothing seems to help in getting the bib references at the end of the main document. This seems to be very ricky to get right, and I don't know how. (As I said the instructions in Herbert's page does not work for me ... ) Thanks for help Regards Goffredo

What do you think this c++ error means?
On a RedHat 8 system I'm using a newer snapshot of gcc, which is
necessary for my other research. I've compiled xforms with that gcc, OK.
The version I'm using is:
gcc-3.3-20020909
lyx won't build, either with qt or xforms frontend.
All I did was untar lyx, then
#mkdir build
#cd build
#../configure --prefix=/usr

Announce: LyX 1.3.0 released.
Public release of LyX version 1.3.0 === We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.3.0. As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new release an exciting one. One of the major projects that has been going on behind the scenes is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are glad to announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this. LyX now comes in two flavours: Qt-LyX and xforms-LyX! Although this is the most visible change in version 1.3, this should not hide the fact that the `under the hood' changes to the code have again been very important. A detailed list can be found below. In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of visual layout to the software. LyX runs on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface and therefore need an X server. You can download LyX 1.3.0 here : ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz and it should shortly propagate to the following mirrors : ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm0/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz Prebuild binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.0 If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.3.0, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/, and e-mail the LyX users' list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you can't find an answer there. Enjoy! The LyX team. New features ** Qt frontend This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally functionally equivalent. ** Xforms frontend The advent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best implemented, because we have had more time to polish it. In this release, most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter. Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to version 1.0. This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser General Public License), and the availability of the source means that many bugs that have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You are advised to upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes. In fact, LyX 1.3.0 no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5. Moreover, support for xforms older than 1.0 will be removed in the next release. You have been warned ;-) In most cases the dialogs have been designed to make it impossible to input invalid parameters. The exception to this rule is the input of length data. Power LaTeX users can still input obtuse glue lengths, but the widgets are highlighted in red if this input is invalid or incomplete. This visual feedback makes it easy to see why LyX won't allow you to Apply your changes. ** Gnome frontend Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the developer's list. ** Instant preview preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows instant previews of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too. ** Math editor There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy package

Steven I never used it because I did not know about it. It would have
Steven been useful for footnote text to be replaced with text in
Steven brackets (preferred by some journals). Much quicker than cut
Steven text, paste text, collapse footnote, delete collapsed
Steven footnote.
Or add in the preamble (not tested, of course)
\renewcommand{\footnote}[1]{[{#1}]}
OK, It is probably more complicated than this, but I suspect that
killing a footnotes by hand is not the right solution. After all,
these are still notes, the only difference is the way they are presented.

How to avoid system blocking by Lyx preview convert processes ???
Hi, I'm facing to a really serious and urgent problem: My thesis document includes now some hundred figures (bitmaps with 100 to 300 dpi converted to ps-files) on about 300 pages. I just switched to Suse8.1 and Lyx 1.2.3 two days ago and was working with Lyx 1.1.6fix4 (Suse 7.3) up to now, where I had no problem with the same document on the same machine (Athlon 700, 512Mb-ram). Now, when I open my doc with 1.2.3 and want to continue writing at the end of the doc I'try to scroll down. Yes I'm just only trying! Because every image is starting a convert-command to make the preview and there are a few hundred processes blocking the whole system for the rest of my working day! In Lyx 1.1.6 this was no problem! (previews where only created directly after loading the doc and it was many times faster than now). Is there any possibility, to get the previews at one time and not only when I'm scrolling to the page with with an image??? How to speed up the preview (color preferred, but even gray or monochrome is much too slow)? Any possibility to make a permanent hardcopy of the preview images that are used in Lyx? (So Lyx has not do to the convert every time again and again when the doc is loaded) Any way to avoid convert at all? It is important for me to see the images I'm writing about in my thesis. So just to say no preview for each figure doesn't solve my problem. By the way, is there any trick to get the show page command again which started gv externally for the ps files??? (it was so useful for me in Lyx 1.1.6) What happens if I start Lyx with nice? Will I ever see any preview then? Thank's a lot in advance, I really hope that I may use 1.2.3!

Configurable Cursor (Was: Scroll one line at a time)
On Thu, 6 Feb 2003, Dan Strychalski wrote: There is a way to configure LyX to scroll only one line, but it has some quirks: 1. The line the cursor is on is first jerked to mid-screen, except when at the top or bottom of the file. (The jerking to mid-screen is actually a great aid in finding LyX's easy-to-lose text cursor.) Precisely! When editing long documents, keeping track of cursor is non-trivial and I depend on lyX ^L (emacs key-bindings) to find it. A nice black blob (or green or any color that contrasts with both background and letters) would be much easier on the eyes (and nerves). (I can always find the emacs cursor. On the rare occasion, I edit raw files with emacs for just that reason. --This clearly courts more intense forms of pain than searching for a buried cursor.) I don't find a preferences option to change cursor behavior and at the moment, In 1.2.3, lyxcursor.C (and lyxcursor.h) don't obviously control cursor shape, color and mode (blink, constant) -- but my language of choice is not C++ so I may be missing it. A configurable cursor would be ideal. More complete documentation of the lyxcursor files (as already noted in existing comments) would be helpful. Help about code to change to get the desired cursor would be welcome.

bibtex and lyx 1.2.1
Hi,
I've recently upgraded from lyx 1.1.6 to 1.2.1 and have run into some
problems with bibtex. My old lyx files still compile perfectly with all
references in order, however when I have to enter a new citation, the
citation popup in lyx only displays the first reference in my Bibtex file.
The only way I can enter new references is to write in latex \cite{key}.
This works fine but I'm keen to get it working in lyx also. The following
is how my Bibtex file blah.bib looks:
@article{
Anderson95,
Author = {Anderson, M.H.},
Title = {Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dilute Atomic
Vapour},
Journal = {Science},
Volume = {269},
Pages = {198},
Keywords = {BEC, first experiment},
Year = {1995} }
@article{
Balykin1988,
Author = {Balykin, V.},
Title = {Quantum-State-Selective Mirror Reflection of Atoms by Laser
Light},
Journal = {Physical Review Letters},
Volume = {60},
Number = {21},
Pages = {2137},
Keywords = {Electric fields},

Would anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?

Re: bad looking fonts in pdf --- revisited

This appears to have been resolved earlier on this list. However...
Issue is: Fonts are ugly and hard to read in exported pdf.
Which fonts?
One reply was to see (lyx 1.1.6fix4) Help - Extended Features:
Section 3.3.6.2, i.e., put \usepackage{ae,aecompl} in preamble.
Then someone said that selecting ae fonts (Layout - Document) should
be all that's needed. No preamble changes.
I replied that this works. It seems I was incorrect.
The only way I can get good looking fonts (and searchable text) in pdf
is by putting \usepackage{ae,aecompl} in the preamble. Note that
aecompl is needed, ae alone will not do it.
Am I missing something here?
I don't use ae fonts (that I know of, anyway). Don't know if there's a
universal solution, but I've had pretty good luck exporting as a dvi and
then using dvipdfm -f cmr.map file name. You might also take a look at

independent references for each chapter

own chapter. I get a lot of question marks with a few reference numbers here
and there with high numbers (like 180, 182) when I should be getting a reset
numbering system for each chapter.

Including bibliographies ....
Hi All, I know this has been answered previously, but I can't seem to find the reference, and the tips and tricks discussion of it doesn't seem to work in my case. My problem is this ... I have one main document which has a number of chapters. Each chapter contains bibliographic references (bibtex references), and the main document also contains a bibliographic environment at the end. Now I want the bibliographic data to print only at the end in the main document, once all the chapters are collated, and I don't want bibliographic matter at the end of each chapter. How can I do this? I have tried doing a dvi on the main document, and then on each chapter, and then removing the bib references in the chapters, but nothing seems to help in getting the bib references at the end of the main document. This seems to be very ricky to get right, and I don't know how. (As I said the instructions in Herbert's page does not work for me ... ) Thanks for help Regards Goffredo

Announce: LyX 1.3.0 released.
Public release of LyX version 1.3.0 === We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.3.0. As with the previous major version 1.2.0, many things make this new release an exciting one. One of the major projects that has been going on behind the scenes is the so-called GUI-independence project. We are glad to announce that version 1.3.0 shows the first results of this. LyX now comes in two flavours: Qt-LyX and xforms-LyX! Although this is the most visible change in version 1.3, this should not hide the fact that the `under the hood' changes to the code have again been very important. A detailed list can be found below. In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of visual layout to the software. LyX runs on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface and therefore need an X server. You can download LyX 1.3.0 here : ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz and it should shortly propagate to the following mirrors : ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm0/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.0.tar.gz Prebuild binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.0 If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.3.0, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/, and e-mail the LyX users' list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you can't find an answer there. Enjoy! The LyX team. New features ** Qt frontend This is of course the most visible new feature. This frontend supports either Qt 2.x or 3.x and is mostly feature complete. Note that some of the dialogs are slightly different in design, but are generally functionally equivalent. ** Xforms frontend The advent of the Qt frontend does not mean that the historical xforms frontend is dead. Actually, it is still the one which is the best implemented, because we have had more time to polish it. In this release, most of the dialogs have been redesigned to be tighter. Note also that the xforms library has been very recently updated to version 1.0. This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser General Public License), and the availability of the source means that many bugs that have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You are advised to upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes. In fact, LyX 1.3.0 no longer supports versions of xforms older than 0.89.5. Moreover, support for xforms older than 1.0 will be removed in the next release. You have been warned ;-) In most cases the dialogs have been designed to make it impossible to input invalid parameters. The exception to this rule is the input of length data. Power LaTeX users can still input obtuse glue lengths, but the widgets are highlighted in red if this input is invalid or incomplete. This visual feedback makes it easy to see why LyX won't allow you to Apply your changes. ** Gnome frontend Unfortunately, the development of the Gnome frontend has mostly stopped recently and we have therefore chosen to disable it. We strongly invite anyone willing to revive this port to volunteer on the developer's list. ** Instant preview preview-latex is an emacs package for LaTeX that allows instant previews of LaTeX code, so you can immediately see the visual rendering of the LaTeX in the document. Its project home page can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex. With the help of David Kastrup, the author, LyX 1.3.0 can harness this functionality to allow instant previews in the LyX window of math equations and figures. This feature can be immensely useful, ensuring that the rendering of your equation will look right in the final output. The preview is only displayed (if enabled) when you're not editing the actual equation, so it's unobtrusive too. ** Math editor There have been a few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of a formula, showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the formula itself and revealing the names of the nesting levels in the minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy package

OK, It is probably more complicated than this, but I suspect that
killing a footnotes by hand is not the right solution. After all,
these are still notes, the only difference is the way they are presented.

How to avoid system blocking by Lyx preview convert processes ???
Hi, I'm facing to a really serious and urgent problem: My thesis document includes now some hundred figures (bitmaps with 100 to 300 dpi converted to ps-files) on about 300 pages. I just switched to Suse8.1 and Lyx 1.2.3 two days ago and was working with Lyx 1.1.6fix4 (Suse 7.3) up to now, where I had no problem with the same document on the same machine (Athlon 700, 512Mb-ram). Now, when I open my doc with 1.2.3 and want to continue writing at the end of the doc I'try to scroll down. Yes I'm just only trying! Because every image is starting a convert-command to make the preview and there are a few hundred processes blocking the whole system for the rest of my working day! In Lyx 1.1.6 this was no problem! (previews where only created directly after loading the doc and it was many times faster than now). Is there any possibility, to get the previews at one time and not only when I'm scrolling to the page with with an image??? How to speed up the preview (color preferred, but even gray or monochrome is much too slow)? Any possibility to make a permanent hardcopy of the preview images that are used in Lyx? (So Lyx has not do to the convert every time again and again when the doc is loaded) Any way to avoid "convert" at all? It is important for me to see the images I'm writing about in my thesis. So just to say "no preview" for each figure doesn't solve my problem. By the way, is there any trick to get the "show page" command again which started gv externally for the ps files??? (it was so useful for me in Lyx 1.1.6) What happens if I start Lyx with "nice"? Will I ever see any preview then? Thank's a lot in advance, I really hope that I may use 1.2.3! The way it works now makes it impossible for me to work with it! :-( --- Andreas Philipp Arbeitsgruppe Klimaforschung Wuerzburg Geographisches Institut Uni Wuerzburg Am Hubland D-97074 Wuerzburg phone: ++49 931 8884690 fax: ++49 931 8885544 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
Configurable Cursor (Was: Scroll one line at a time)

The line the cursor is on is first jerked to mid-screen, except when >at the top or bottom of the file. (The jerking to mid-screen is >actually a great aid in finding LyX's easy-to-lose text cursor.) Precisely! When editing long documents, keeping track of cursor is non-trivial and I depend on lyX ^L (emacs key-bindings) to find it. A nice black blob (or green or any color that contrasts with both background and letters) would be much easier on the eyes (and nerves). (I can always find the emacs cursor. On the rare occasion, I edit raw files with emacs for just that reason. --This clearly courts more intense forms of pain than searching for a buried cursor.) I don't find a preferences option to change cursor behavior and at the moment, In 1.2.3, lyxcursor.C (and lyxcursor.h) don't obviously control cursor shape, color and mode (blink, constant) -- but my language of choice is not C++ so I may be missing it. A configurable cursor would be ideal. More complete documentation of the lyxcursor files (as already noted in existing comments) would be helpful. Help about code to change to get the desired cursor would be welcome.

Something you do not want to do when you have a large important document that relies on the old faithful version of the software. My advice is to switch back to lyx1.1.6fix4 ASAP. The file formats are incompatible, so do not change or save anything, or always back up! Lyx 1.2 does OK at reading lyx 1.1 files, but lyx 1.1 cannot read lyx 1.2 files. In my humble opinion lyx 1.1(.5, .6) is more stable and works more like expected/documented than lyx 1.2.

I'm guessing that you only need to see a few images at a time, which means you could go to those specific images and change their display setting from default to color (i.e. it will be shown). Or, you can have a dvi/pdf/postcript in a separate window next to lyx and look at the figures in that window.

I think I will try to work with 1.2.3 without preview (or only needed previews) some time and decide after a while, whether its worth keeping 1.2.3 (I can copy the text directly into my 1.1.6 document when switching back). Something I don't know whether its right here in users list: when I try to compile 1.1.6fix4 (make after successful configure) I get: ... g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../boost-isystem /usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c lastfiles.C lastfiles.C:29: `ostream_iterator' not declared lastfiles.C: In member function `void LastFiles::writeFile(const std::string&) const': lastfiles.C:78: `ostream_iterator' undeclared (first use this function) lastfiles.C:78: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) lastfiles.C:78: parse error before `>' token make[3]: *** [lastfiles.o] Fehler 1 make[3]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses »/home/geog088/lyx-1.1.6fix4/src« make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[2]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses »/home/geog088/lyx-1.1.6fix4/src« make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Fehler 2 make[1]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses »/home/geog088/lyx-1.1.6fix4/src« make: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 here it stops due to that error with lastfiles.C, but the code looks ok (as far as a fortran programmer could say).

bibtex and lyx 1.2.1
Hi,
I've recently upgraded from lyx 1.1.6 to 1.2.1 and have run into some
problems with bibtex. My old lyx files still compile perfectly with all
references in order, however when I have to enter a new citation, the
citation popup in lyx only displays the first reference in my Bibtex file.
The only way I can enter new references is to write in latex \cite{key}.
This works fine but I'm keen to get it working in lyx also. The following
is how my Bibtex file blah.bib looks:
@article{
Anderson95,
Author = {Anderson, M.H.},
Title = {Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dilute Atomic
Vapour},
Journal = {Science},
Volume = {269},
Pages = {198},
Keywords = {BEC, first experiment},
Year = {1995} }
@article{
Balykin1988,
Author = {Balykin, V.},
Title = {Quantum-State-Selective Mirror Reflection of Atoms by Laser
Light},
Journal = {Physical Review Letters},
Volume = {60},
Number = {21},
Pages = {2137},
Keywords = {Electric fields},
Year = {1988} }
.
.
.
Would anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance.

I don't use ae fonts (that I know of, anyway). Don't know if there's a
universal solution, but I've had pretty good luck exporting as a dvi and
then using dvipdfm -f cmr.map . You might also take a look at

independent references for each chapter
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I have read the chapterbib tip from the web but I have done what it says yet
still fail to get references at the end of each chapter.
I have 4 chapters and need 4 independent reference lists for these chapters.
I am using the chapterbib style and add the bibtex reference at the end of
each chapter. I enter the names of the independent bibtex references as
appropriate. When I preview the document, it APPEARS that my second chapter
is trying to use the bibliography file from the first chapter rather than its
own chapter. I get a lot of question marks with a few reference numbers here
and there with high numbers (like 180, 182) when I should be getting a reset
numbering system for each chapter.
What is the trick here? I have lyx 1.2.0 (I cannot at this time upgrade) on
Mandrake 8.2. Can anyone help me out here?
This is my document's preamble:

If they contain vector postscript data then I'm not sure what the best approach is as ps2ps currently turns them into bitmaps. (I believe). -- Angus
