 and am getting the following error well into the compile:

Get LyX 1.3 if you want a Qt interface.

Yes, so I'm currently stuck -- 1.2.1 crashes when it tries to save, and
1.2.[23] crash when they try to display inline eps.  I was notified that
the latter bug had been addressed, but now it seems that the lyx web and
ftp servers are down, so I can't try out the latest source.
Fortunately, I was able to load the file I needed to work on (an exam

could export to latex and work on the file in emacs.

No, it didn't fix anything. I got the same error.  The problem might be
in the xforms 1.0 library.  I compiled it with gcc 3.2 and made the

xforms 1.0 doesn't compile out of the box under cygwin. I had to modify

Anyone got a patch for xforms1.0/cygwin or a pre-compiled binary?

 perl-tk but I wasn't able to install perl-tk cos perlapi-5.6.1 was needed which
 I couldn't find.. so I had to force the install of tetex-extra.. 

If you install LyX from the source, it doesn't put cv.cls in the correct
place (this is a known bug).
You need to copy it into TEXMF/tex/latex/, and run texhash.

No, it didn't fix anything. I got the same error.  The problem might be
in the xforms 1.0 library.  I compiled it with gcc 3.2 and made the

xforms 1.0 doesn't compile out of the box under cygwin. I had to modify

Anyone got a patch for xforms1.0/cygwin or a pre-compiled binary?

If you install LyX from the source, it doesn't put cv.cls in the correct

You need to copy it into TEXMF/tex/latex/, and run texhash.

Why? The Qt frontend was a work-in-progress in LyX 1.2. It becomes fully

g++ -O -fno-exceptions -o lyx.exe ...
 -lforms -lflimage -ljpeg -lXpm ...

The problem lies with the order "-lforms -lflimage". Swap them around and 
all will be well.

This problem is solved in the LyX 1.3.x bug fix branch.

To swap them around yourself:
* edit src/frontends/Makefile
$ grep flimage Makefile
FRONTEND_LIBS = -lflimage -ljpeg -lforms -lXpm
XFORMS_IMAGE_LIB = -lflimage -ljpeg

* rm libfrontends.la

You are very optimistic. I did not do anything about it yet.

So, now I have to actually look at it. It seems that we have
_explicit_ code to swap the order of the two libraries only for cygwin
(this was a patch from Kayvan, I seem to remember). 

So I guess the solution is to remove this bogus special casing.

I think what you need are some Type1 greek fonts. On another note, I've seen 
greek pdf/ps files on some systems that look terrible on-screen but the 
print-out is excellent. I personally use kghostview for viewing both ps and

Yes, so I'm currently stuck -- 1.2.1 crashes when it tries to save, and
1.2.[23] crash when they try to display inline eps.  I was notified that
the latter bug had been addressed, but now it seems that the lyx web and
ftp servers are down, so I can't try out the latest source.
Fortunately, I was able to load the file I needed to work on (an exam
for my students) into 1.2.3 (the first eps occurs several pages in) so I
could export to latex and work on the file in emacs.

As John says: switching encodings in Qt-LyX will not work. If you want to do 
this, you'll have to use xforms-LyX.

Things will change once LyX uses unicode internally (slated for the current 
development cycle.)
