Installation Problem --no exporting
Hi
I have a serios Problem with the lyx installation. I am using a SuSE 8.1
box. So I installed the binary Version of lyx-1.3.2 for SuSE8.1.
Compiling of both lyx1.3.3 and lyx 1.3.3 fails with an internal
compiler error.
The binary Version installs nicely usinng rpm -Uhvv
lyx-1.3.2-1suse81-qt311.i386.rpm |tee lyx_install_out. But almost all
the export functions are not working.
I can just export to ASCII or LATEX. The printing button is punched
out and is grey. Without printing or exporting lyx is no fun at all.
I do not even know where to start looking for the problem.
When starting lyx from command line I get the two error lines
Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0.
Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0.0.
This doesn't seem to be the reason.
Parts of the file above lyx_install_out are attached.
Even hints about where to look for the problem are welcome.
with kind regards

Fwd: Changing Bibliography Layout
Firstly, many apologies since I am sure that this is covered in the documentation, I just don't seem to be able to find it. I am looking for a way to change the style of references from having the label in square brackets on the left with the text aligned with the right hand side of the longest label to the format of elsevier papers (Yes I am using the elsevier layout but it doesn't seem to implement this). That format is authors on the left (probably easiest not to display a label or key at all ??) and all but the first line of each reference beginning on the third character of the line. I tried modifying /usr/share/lyx/layouts/stdstruct.inc which contains a bibliography section but it only affects the lyx display not the postscript generated; so that is obviously the wrong thing to do. I would be really grateful if someone could tell me what to modify and how to modify it, sorry for being a hopeless newbie. Many thanks in advance, Adrian.

Thanks, I did that and at least things started to work but now I have the
following issue.
I have put the file you pointed me to (Harvard style) named elsevier.bst in
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/natbib/
along with the other files already there.
I have selected elsevier as my style file, and the test.bib bibtex file which
came with the latex distribution as the bibtex file. I have added
\usepackage[round,authoryear]{natbib}
to the preamble using Layout-Preamble.
For some reason unknown to me, references show up in the output as:
Author (year) e.g. BSI (1973)
rather than:
(Author, year) e.g. (BSI, 1973)
I have been playing around with the preamble line:
\bibpunct[,]{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
but although I can change the parentheses I do not seem to be able to move
them or get the supposed comma between author and year to show up at all.
Has anyone met this before? Or is it just me? I expect though that I'm just
getting something totally wrong as usual.
Thanks again,

lyx-1.3.2-1suse81-qt311.i386.rpm |tee lyx_install_out". But almost all
the export functions are not working.
I can just export to ASCII or LATEX. The printing button is "punched
out" and is grey. Without printing or exporting lyx is no fun at all.
I do not even know where to start looking for the problem.
When starting lyx from command line I get the two error lines
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
This doesn't seem to be the reason.
Parts of the file above "lyx_install_out" are attached.
Even hints about where to look for the problem are welcome.
with kind regards
Axel

Fwd: Changing Bibliography Layout
Firstly, many apologies since I am sure that this is covered in the documentation, I just don't seem to be able to find it. I am looking for a way to change the style of references from having the label in square brackets on the left with the text aligned with the right hand side of the longest label to the format of elsevier papers (Yes I am using the elsevier layout but it doesn't seem to implement this). That format is authors on the left (probably easiest not to display a label or key at all ??) and all but the first line of each reference beginning on the third character of the line. I tried modifying /usr/share/lyx/layouts/stdstruct.inc which contains a bibliography section but it only affects the lyx display not the postscript generated; so that is obviously the wrong thing to do. I would be really grateful if someone could tell me what to modify and how to modify it, sorry for being a hopeless newbie. Many thanks in advance, Adrian.

Check the section "BibTeX style files" and fetch whichever one suits your fancy. This must be installed in your LaTeX distribution's file tree, someplace where LaTeX will find it. I park mine in .../texmf- local/bibtex/bst/elsevier. After obtaining the file(s), you need to rebuild your LaTeX file databases so that it knows the files are there.

Thanks, I did that and at least things started to work but now I have the
following issue.
I have put the file you pointed me to (Harvard style) named elsevier.bst in
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/natbib/
along with the other files already there.
I have selected elsevier as my style file, and the test.bib bibtex file which
came with the latex distribution as the bibtex file. I have added
\usepackage[round,authoryear]{natbib}
to the preamble using Layout->Preamble.
For some reason unknown to me, references show up in the output as:
Author (year) e.g. BSI (1973)
rather than:
(Author, year) e.g. (BSI, 1973)
I have been playing around with the preamble line:
\bibpunct[,]{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
but although I can change the parentheses I do not seem to be able to move
them or get the supposed comma between author and year to show up at all.
Has anyone met this before? Or is it just me? I expect though that I'm just
getting something totally wrong as usual.
Thanks again,
Adrian.
