If you redefined your keyboard layout, so that you are able to insert
them directly, use the following preamble line
\DeclareInputText{215}{\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi}
This enables switching between math operator and text char, so that you
can enter the × sign in math and text without problems.
The ÷ doesn't need a special declaration, because LyX sets automatically
\ensuremath{÷}, when entering the char in text.

lyx 1.3.4 compiling problems under cygwin
I'm trying to compile lyx.1.3.4 in cygwin. I use gcc 3.3.3, xforms 1.0 (which I compiled from sources) and an updated cygwin distribution First I got an error compiling Dialog.c, but I switched off the optimizations and it worked. Then, when I link: g++ -O1 -mms-bitfields -Wl,--export-all-symbols -o lyx.exe SKIP TextCache.o Thesaurus.o ToolbarDefaults.o boost.o boost-inst.o box.o SKIP mathed/.libs/libmathed.a insets/.libs/libinsets.a frontends/.libs/libfrontends.a .libs/libimp-cygjpeg-62.a /usr/local/lib/libforms.a -lXpm graphics/.libs/libgraphics.a support/.libs/libsupport.a ../boost/libs/regex/src/.libs/libboostregex.a ../boost/libs/signals/src/.libs/libboostsignals.a .libs/libimp-cygintl-3.a -L/usr/lib .libs/libimp-cygiconv-2.a -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 I got the following error: -- TextCache.o(.ctors+0x0):TextCache.C: undefined reference to `__GLOBAL__I__ZN9TextCache7findFitEP6Bufferi' TextCache.o(.dtors+0x0):TextCache.C: undefined reference to `__GLOBAL__D__ZN9TextCache7findFitEP6Bufferi' skip many other undefined reference collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lyx.exe] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Now, TextCache.o is in the link list, with objdump I see the findFitBuffer symbol in TextCache.o and I do not understand the problem.

Not positive, but I think I had the spellchecker crash on Win ME when I
was using that. OS version is one possible explanation, but we should
also look at whether Uwe's TeX setup is different from ours -- although
I'm not sure where to look. Switching between aspell and ispell doesn't
make the bug go away. I tried upgrading to the latest GNU version of
aspell (by swapping in its DLL in the LyX bin directory, and putting its
data files various places), but no matter what I did LyX said it could
find the English ('en') dictionary and bailed out of spelling. So I
can't tell if it's a problem with the version of aspell we have.

Equation numbering not functioning correctly - Mac/LyX???
I'm somewhat new to LyX and have Mac/LyX 1.3.4 running on OS X 10.3.3
with teTeX.
Using the InsertLabel command to number and label an equation entered
using the math editor does not appear to work. I have attempted to
number and label more than one equation in a document. Interestingly,
whilst the document is open the Label dialog box will recall the
particualr Label I attach to each equation even though the Labels are
not displayed in LyX (or when viewed as a pdf). These Labels are not
retained when the document is closed and reopened.
Attempting to number equations only using EditMathToggle Numbering
also does not work. I am using the 'article' document class.
I am able to successfully use the above equation numbering techniques
in the User's Guide help filebut not in any document I create.
I can get the equation numbering to work when equations are entered
using the following ERT:
\begin{equation} \end{equation}
I would rather not have enter all equations using tex though.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks in advance

lyx 1.3.4 compiling problems under cygwin
I'm trying to compile lyx.1.3.4 in cygwin. I use gcc 3.3.3, xforms 1.0 (which I compiled from sources) and an updated cygwin distribution First I got an error compiling Dialog.c, but I switched off the optimizations and it worked. Then, when I link: g++ -O1 -mms-bitfields -Wl,--export-all-symbols -o lyx.exe >> SKIP TextCache.o Thesaurus.o ToolbarDefaults.o boost.o boost-inst.o box.o >> SKIP mathed/.libs/libmathed.a insets/.libs/libinsets.a frontends/.libs/libfrontends.a .libs/libimp-cygjpeg-62.a /usr/local/lib/libforms.a -lXpm graphics/.libs/libgraphics.a support/.libs/libsupport.a ../boost/libs/regex/src/.libs/libboostregex.a ../boost/libs/signals/src/.libs/libboostsignals.a .libs/libimp-cygintl-3.a -L/usr/lib .libs/libimp-cygiconv-2.a -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 I got the following error: -- TextCache.o(.ctors+0x0):TextCache.C: undefined reference to `__GLOBAL__I__ZN9TextCache7findFitEP6Bufferi' TextCache.o(.dtors+0x0):TextCache.C: undefined reference to `__GLOBAL__D__ZN9TextCache7findFitEP6Bufferi' >>> skip many other undefined reference collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lyx.exe] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Now, TextCache.o is in the link list, with objdump I see the findFitBuffer symbol in TextCache.o and I do not understand the problem. Is that a problem of gcc, as I think now? Is there anyone which could compile lyx (last version) under cygwin ? I searched th mailing lists but this is not clear (at least to me). I used the last lyx under cygwin -1.3.1 and now I use lyx 1.3.3 for qt-win, but I'd like to see lyx compiling under cygwin. Thanks. Angelo Gargantini
no DVI item in "view" menu !!!?
Hello,
The tutorial says to clic on DVI in view menu to see the document
("Run LaTeX to create a dvi file, with View->DVI.")
but there is simply no DVI in the view menu of my installed LyX !!!
(as well as no printing item in file menu !)
see the 2 attached screen capture :
- absence of DVI menu
- version info
Thanks for any help.
Hubert.

Spell check bug? causing Lyx to crash
Hi List; Win XP Qt version of Lyx. Can someone confirm this possible bug in the spellcheck function? Open two documents, both with spelling errors and place the cursor at start of each. Spellcheck document 1. Then switch documents from the toolbar "document" button. At this stage the spellchecker finds the next wrongly spelt word but any attempt to correct (F7) causes Lyx to die!

(tested under Win2000 not XP) But can you confirm the following crash?: - Try to set 1.5 mm space below a paragraph, with the menu Layout -> Paragraph. But now type "1,5" instead of "1.5" in the menu field and press Enter or choose OK. As result LyX crashes. I know, that the comma is not the english decimal separator. But LyX shouldn't crash when typing wrong numbers. thanks in advance and regards Uwe

Seems that LyX couldn't find your LaTeX distribution. To check this try
to reconfigure LyX (menu Edit -> Reconfigure) and look in the console
window what happens. Also have a look, if LaTeX is properly installed.

Rob S Rob: Yes, I get the same thing (on Win XP). I'm not positive, but I may have also had LyX crash when spell-checking a second document even if the first was error free. At any rate, I've learned to close all but one document when running spellcheck. -- Paul

Not positive, but I think I had the spellchecker crash on Win ME when I
was using that. OS version is one possible explanation, but we should
also look at whether Uwe's TeX setup is different from ours -- although
I'm not sure where to look. Switching between aspell and ispell doesn't
make the bug go away. I tried upgrading to the latest GNU version of
aspell (by swapping in its DLL in the LyX bin directory, and putting its
data files various places), but no matter what I did LyX said it could
find the English ('en') dictionary and bailed out of spelling. So I
can't tell if it's a problem with the version of aspell we have.

Hubert,
I would like to add the following: maybe you do not have xdvi installed.
Check it out.

Equation numbering not functioning correctly - Mac/LyX???
I'm somewhat new to LyX and have Mac/LyX 1.3.4 running on OS X 10.3.3
with teTeX.
Using the Insert>Label command to number and label an equation entered
using the math editor does not appear to work. I have attempted to
number and label more than one equation in a document. Interestingly,
whilst the document is open the Label dialog box will recall the
particualr Label I attach to each equation even though the Labels are
not displayed in LyX (or when viewed as a pdf). These Labels are not
retained when the document is closed and reopened.
Attempting to number equations only using Edit>Math>Toggle Numbering
also does not work. I am using the 'article' document class.
I am able to successfully use the above equation numbering techniques
in the User's Guide help filebut not in any document I create.
I can get the equation numbering to work when equations are entered
using the following ERT:
\begin{equation} \end{equation}
I would rather not have enter all equations using tex though.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks in advance
