lyx pipe

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Having installed JabRef I would like to pipe citations into Lyx. According to 
the Extended Lyx help file I have to have the Lyx Server activated and need 
for that the entrance
\serverpipe/home/my-home-directory/.lyxpipe
in preferences
and it also referes to the Lyx Documentation (without specifying which).

I went to
BearbeitenEinstellungenPaths
in Preferences
and selected /home/wolfgang
in Lyx-Server-Weiterleitung

But when I try to pipe a reference from the bib-file into the lyx document, it 
does not work and says, the pipe does not work.

Could somebody kindly give me a hint?

Re[2]: find/replace saving permanent

[Andrei Popov]

Hello Paul,

Monday, May 30, 2005, 10:53:59 PM, you wrote:

 Perhaps you should do your find/replace work in a better text
 editor, such as vim. Or in your CAT (computer-aided translation)
 program?

 Kevin: could you please give me an example of a CAT program?

There are generally two types of CAT software -- MT (machine
translation) and TM (translation memory) software.

TM-software is like @Prompt(www.datacal.com/s-promt-eng-rus.htm) or
babelfish.altavista.com, the software really translates for you, but
the quality is often lousy, and there are glaring mistakes.

Translation Memory software, by contrast, is a tool for professionals
that operates with sentences and phrases, not individual words,
features a consistent glossary, fuzzy matches and more.

It does NOT translate for you, but rather presents you with matches
for things you previously translated. Works great with software
documentation, btw.

Nowadays the line between MT and TM is blurred a bit, since many MT
solutions try to incorporate TM features.

What software is available depends on the OS. For Windows you can use
Trados (TM, costs a lot!), for Linux there's OmegaT (GPL, TM,
Java-based, so really cross-platform).

I don't know of any decent MT software for Linux (like @Prompt for
Win32) except Pravda, but it's English-Russian only.

Besides, if quality translation is your goal, I'd never recommend
Machine Translation anyway. Go for Translation Memory solutions.

If set in the home dir, you should control that

As the message tells you, you must clean ~/.lyxpipe.* in that case, as

float wrap for equations and figures

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I am trying to get floatwrap working in a document with both equations and 
figures (floatflt). I started by having only equation and thus I redefined 
the figure caption to Equation and it worked like a charm, but now I need to 
put some figures in there as well...

So I tried to define my own figure float environment, but I have problems. As 
I do not really know what I am doing ;) I would be obliged if someone could 
try to point me in the right direction. 

How do I get a new figurefloat environment with its own counters and 
figurename without changing the figurefloat ?

Hei!

I know this issue has already been treated in this list

still do not manage to make it work. 
I am using Lyx 1.3.5 in windows. I have also installed Python 2.4.1.
Firsdt, I tried to use the new tex2lyx tool:

Any hint?


I have also tried to import with the old Relyx. In that case I manage to
create a Lyx 2.15 file:

I also manage to obtain a 221 version lyx file by running either the lyx2lyx
program that comes with tex2lyx, or the original one:

$python C:\tools\latex\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx --to 221 --output

But I get this message: Version does not match file format, discarding it.

And  when I open the file in Lyx I get these errors:

Are you sure that's the reason? MaxCounter dissappeared from the layout 
files in November 2003 (Eg llncs.layout revision 1.11). It appears that 
the problem is that tex2lyx is accessing LyX 1.3.5's layout files, no?

Ie, if you were to remove the -sysdir ... part of the command:

$tex2lyx.exe -f -sysdir C:\tools\latex\lyx\share\lyx file.tex file.lyx

then things would just work.

 It seems that the tex2lyx packages on the wiki need to be updated!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try and do so ASAP.

Not at all. Thanks for the correction. Nevertheless there were still errors

Yes it does, thank you. I was confused by the current situation because
of three things:
1. Calling this ref is really counter-intuitive; Jürgen said in the
other reply that in the future this will be called goto label, which
is much better, so thanks for that change.
2. The cursor just seems to jump somewhere into the appropriate
paragraph, not right next to the label, so the intended functionality
doesn't become very obvious to the uninitiated. (This is probably a
known issue I would assume.)
3. My document just has quite a few labels and cross-refs, so that made
it more difficult for me to disentangle things (as if you cared...)

Re: Generating PDF files with pdftex/pdftex_t type images

[Omair-Inam Abdul-Matin]

Ok,

tex2pdf was behaving strangely.  I changed my pdflatex program to 
tex2pdf (I followed all the instructions for configuring, etc. on the 
tex2pdf site).  When I tried to convert to pdf most of the times I would 
get the message,


'tex2pdf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The weird thing is, some of the times a pdf file was generated. 
Unfortunately, in the images that came out the latex text was displayed 
but not the postscript part (the lines and other stuff).


I use the perl script that I've given at the end of the message for 
batch converting all my xfig images into pdftex, pstex or eps format as 
needed. Then I'm using pdflatex inside LyX for the export.  However, I 
had to solve a number of problems on windows:


1. The pdftex/pdftex_t combo file exported by xfig causes an error in 
pdflatex since pdftex is not recognized as an image format.  However, if 
I change the pdftex file to pdf and change the 
\includegraphics{file.pdftex} statement in the pdftex_t file to 
\includegraphics{file.pdf} it works fine.  The script basically 
automates this process.
2. The pdftex file generated by xfig is normally rotated so that when 
the pdf is generated the image needs to be rotated to be placed 
properly. To solve this I need to use fig2dev with the -p flag (portrait 
mode)


Some more info about the script for those that are interested.
I'm typing up my thesis which is located in multiple directories, each 
of which has an images subdirectory.  The script looks for a tex_images 
file which contains a list of all the images in the directory which 
contain latex text and must therefore be converted to pstex/pdftex 
format.  It then iterates through each fig image and converts it to a 
pdftex and pstex, or eps format as needed.


My LyX version is 1.3.5 and I'm using the fig2dev script that comes with 
cygwin... for those who are interested.

help with layouts listbox in toolbar

[solfog]

I have lyx from debian unstable 1.3.4, and lyx --version shows:
Configuration
  Host type:  i686-pc-linux-gnu
  Special build flags:warnings assertions
  C   Compiler:   gcc
  C   Compiler flags: -g -O2
  C++ Compiler:   g++ (3.3.3)
  C++ Compiler flags:  -g -O2 -fno-exceptions -W -Wall
  Linker flags:
  Frontend:   qt
Qt version:   3.2.3
  LyX binary dir: /usr/bin
  LyX files dir:  /usr/share/lyx


My problem is: when clicking on the layouts listbox of the toolbar, lyx (or qt)
tries to show *all* the layouts on the same window which is impossible because
there are a lot and I can't scroll down to get the one I want.
I'd like the listbox to display a list with a scrollbar, which it used to do a
while ago before I had to reinstalled debian.

Problem w/ Windows install: no layout description

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

I installed the Windows version of Lyx on my machine. However, when I try to 
start up Lyx, I get an error message that says lyx wasn't able to find any 
layout description... Check the contents of the file textclass.lst. I looked 
at textclass.lst in .../lyx/share/lyx but I really have no idea what I'm 
looking for.

(Also, when I first started up Lyx, and tried to install the ieeetrans package 
from the internet, the program started thrashing the disk and eventually just 
died. The above is the mssage I get when I subsequently start it up again)

Yes I do. It initially asked me about installing MikTeX and wanted to know

gave it the location of my MixTex install (as well as the local folder) but
it didn't like either one, so I just had it skip that step

RE: Problem w/ Windows install: no layout description

Yes, according to that site, there are three versions to download. Are you
using the one called lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe?
Also, latex.exe comes with miktex. If you can't run latex from any directory
in your command prompt, I'm pretty sure you need to add the miktex bin
directory to your windows PATH variable so LyX can find miktex. (see my
thread LyXwin not finding miktex)

Re[2]: find/replace saving permanent

[Andrei Popov]

Hello Paul,

Monday, May 30, 2005, 10:53:59 PM, you wrote:

 Perhaps you should do your find/replace work in a better text
 editor, such as vim. Or in your CAT (computer-aided translation)
 program?

 Kevin: could you please give me an example of a CAT program?

There are generally two types of CAT software -- MT (machine
translation) and TM (translation memory) software.

TM-software is like @Prompt(www.datacal.com/s-promt-eng-rus.htm) or
babelfish.altavista.com, the software really translates for you, but
the quality is often lousy, and there are glaring mistakes.

Translation Memory software, by contrast, is a tool for professionals
that operates with sentences and phrases, not individual words,
features a consistent glossary, fuzzy matches and more.

It does NOT translate for you, but rather presents you with matches
for things you previously translated. Works great with software
documentation, btw.

Nowadays the line between MT and TM is blurred a bit, since many MT
solutions try to incorporate TM features.

What software is available depends on the OS. For Windows you can use
Trados (TM, costs a lot!), for Linux there's OmegaT (GPL, TM,
Java-based, so really cross-platform).

I don't know of any decent MT software for Linux (like @Prompt for
Win32) except Pravda, but it's English-Russian only.

Besides, if quality translation is your goal, I'd never recommend
Machine Translation anyway. Go for Translation Memory solutions.

If set in the home dir, you should control that
-lyx

As the message tells you, you must clean ~/.lyxpipe.* in that case, as

float wrap for equations and figures

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I am trying to get floatwrap working in a document with both equations and 
figures (floatflt). I started by having only equation and thus I redefined 
the figure caption to Equation and it worked like a charm, but now I need to 
put some figures in there as well...

So I tried to define my own figure float environment, but I have problems. As 
I do not really know what I am doing ;) I would be obliged if someone could 
try to point me in the right direction. 

How do I get a new figurefloat environment with its own counters and 
figurename without changing the figurefloat ?

Hei!

I know this issue has already been treated in this list
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg39543.html), but I
still do not manage to make it work. 
I am using Lyx 1.3.5 in windows. I have also installed Python 2.4.1.
Firsdt, I tried to use the new tex2lyx tool:

$tex2lyx.exe -f -sysdir C:\tools\latex\lyx\share\lyx file.tex file.lyx

Any hint?


I have also tried to import with the old Relyx. In that case I manage to
create a Lyx 2.15 file:

I also manage to obtain a 221 version lyx file by running either the lyx2lyx
program that comes with tex2lyx, or the original one:

$python C:\tools\latex\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx --to 221 --output

But I get this message: Version does not match file format, discarding it.

And  when I open the file in Lyx I get these errors:

 That file is broken and was fixed 2 weeks ago. Replace it with the
 version you can get at
 http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/llncs.layout
 and try again.

Are you sure that's the reason? MaxCounter dissappeared from the layout 
files in November 2003 (Eg llncs.layout revision 1.11). It appears that 
the problem is that tex2lyx is accessing LyX 1.3.5's layout files, no?

Ie, if you were to remove the -sysdir ... part of the command:

$tex2lyx.exe -f -sysdir C:\tools\latex\lyx\share\lyx file.tex file.lyx

then things would just work.

 It seems that the tex2lyx packages on the wiki need to be updated!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try and do so ASAP.

Not at all. Thanks for the correction. Nevertheless there were still errors
in some layout files that Jean-Marc fixed 2 weeks ago. I remember having
problems with MaxCounter just the day before that fix, but that was another
layout file.

colorizing section headings

[Peter Harkins]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm trying to colorize my section headings, and I can't quite get it
right. I've got some LaTeX (below) that's almost it, but the background
box is taller than I want; I'd like it to only be a little taller than
the text of the section heading. Can anyone tweak this to the right
height?

\usepackage{color}
\let\mySection\section
\renewcommand\section[1]{%
\protect\textcolor{blue}{%
\colorbox{green}{%
\parbox{\columnwidth}{%
\mySection[#1]{#1}
}%
}%
}%
}%


In case you're wondering, the ugly blue on green is just for testing.

Bug in the navigate menu (was: Navigate menu: Refs mean labels?)

[Sven Schreiber]

Sven Schreiber wrote:

 While creating a formal bug in bugzilla for my suggestion to include all
 inset types in the navigate menu (1895), I stumbled over the following
 thing:
 
 The Navigate-Refs menu entry doesn't take me to the next ref inset, but
 to the next label inset. (lyx 1.3.5 on windows) Is this a bug or a feature?
 

Since nobody answered the previous message I chose a more dramatic title
this time ;-)

If nobody tells me the good reason for the above behavior, I am going to
post another formal bug.

Or am I the only one who is experiencing this, maybe windows-specific or
whatever? Is it me who is mis-interpreting labels as refs or vice versa?

I'm all ears...

The naming has been changed in the development version (1.4) to Goto Label

Yes it does, thank you. I was confused by the current situation because
of three things:
1. Calling this ref is really counter-intuitive; Jürgen said in the
other reply that in the future this will be called goto label, which
is much better, so thanks for that change.
2. The cursor just seems to jump somewhere into the appropriate
paragraph, not right next to the label, so the intended functionality
doesn't become very obvious to the uninitiated. (This is probably a
known issue I would assume.)
3. My document just has quite a few labels and cross-refs, so that made
it more difficult for me to disentangle things (as if you cared...)

Re: Generating PDF files with pdftex/pdftex_t type images

[Omair-Inam Abdul-Matin]

Ok,

tex2pdf was behaving strangely.  I changed my pdflatex program to 
tex2pdf (I followed all the instructions for configuring, etc. on the 
tex2pdf site).  When I tried to convert to pdf most of the times I would 
get the message,


'tex2pdf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The weird thing is, some of the times a pdf file was generated. 
Unfortunately, in the images that came out the latex text was displayed 
but not the postscript part (the lines and other stuff).


I use the perl script that I've given at the end of the message for 
batch converting all my xfig images into pdftex, pstex or eps format as 
needed. Then I'm using pdflatex inside LyX for the export.  However, I 
had to solve a number of problems on windows:


1. The pdftex/pdftex_t combo file exported by xfig causes an error in 
pdflatex since pdftex is not recognized as an image format.  However, if 
I change the pdftex file to pdf and change the 
\includegraphics{file.pdftex} statement in the pdftex_t file to 
\includegraphics{file.pdf} it works fine.  The script basically 
automates this process.
2. The pdftex file generated by xfig is normally rotated so that when 
the pdf is generated the image needs to be rotated to be placed 
properly. To solve this I need to use fig2dev with the -p flag (portrait 
mode)


Some more info about the script for those that are interested.
I'm typing up my thesis which is located in multiple directories, each 
of which has an images subdirectory.  The script looks for a tex_images 
file which contains a list of all the images in the directory which 
contain latex text and must therefore be converted to pstex/pdftex 
format.  It then iterates through each fig image and converts it to a 
pdftex and pstex, or eps format as needed.


My LyX version is 1.3.5 and I'm using the fig2dev script that comes with 
cygwin... for those who are interested.

help with layouts listbox in toolbar

[solfog]

I have lyx from debian unstable 1.3.4, and lyx --version shows:
Configuration
  Host type:  i686-pc-linux-gnu
  Special build flags:warnings assertions
  C   Compiler:   gcc
  C   Compiler flags: -g -O2
  C++ Compiler:   g++ (3.3.3)

Qt version:   3.2.3
  LyX binary dir: /usr/bin
  LyX files dir:  /usr/share/lyx


My problem is: when clicking on the layouts listbox of the toolbar, lyx (or qt)
tries to show *all* the layouts on the same window which is impossible because
there are a lot and I can't scroll down to get the one I want.
I'd like the listbox to display a list with a scrollbar, which it used to do a
while ago before I had to reinstalled debian.

from the internet, the program started thrashing the disk and eventually just 
died. The above is the mssage I get when I subsequently start it up again)

Yes, according to that site, there are three versions to download. Are you
using the one called lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe?
Also, latex.exe comes with miktex. If you can't run latex from any directory
in your command prompt, I'm pretty sure you need to add the miktex bin
directory to your windows PATH variable so LyX can find miktex. (see my
thread LyXwin not finding miktex)

lyx pipe

the Extended Lyx help file I have to have the Lyx Server activated and need 
for that the entrance
\serverpipe/home//.lyxpipe
in preferences
and it also referes to the Lyx Documentation (without specifying which).

I went to

in Lyx-Server-Weiterleitung

But when I try to pipe a reference from the bib-file into the lyx document, it 
does not work and says, the pipe does not work.

I have to set

to make it work with tkbibtex
(/home/jp/ fails).
I guess it must be similat with JabRef.

There are generally two types of CAT software -- MT (machine
translation) and TM (translation memory) software.

TM-software is like @Prompt(www.datacal.com/s-promt-eng-rus.htm) or
babelfish.altavista.com, the software really translates for you, but
the quality is often lousy, and there are glaring mistakes.

Translation Memory software, by contrast, is a tool for professionals
that operates with sentences and phrases, not individual words,
features a consistent glossary, fuzzy matches and more.

It does NOT translate for you, but rather presents you with matches
for things you previously translated. Works great with software
documentation, btw.

Nowadays the line between MT and TM is blurred a bit, since many MT
solutions try to incorporate TM features.

What software is available depends on the OS. For Windows you can use
Trados (TM, costs a lot!), for Linux there's OmegaT (GPL, TM,
Java-based, so really cross-platform).

I don't know of any decent MT software for Linux (like @Prompt for
Win32) except "Pravda", but it's English-Russian only.

Besides, if quality translation is your goal, I'd never recommend
Machine Translation anyway. Go for Translation Memory solutions.

I have "~/.lyx/lyxpipe" but the key point is that bibliography tool and 
LyX agree on the path _and_ pipename!

In some documentation (perhaps even from LyX?) you'll also see 
"~/.lyxpipe" (with a leading dot and no .lyx directory). This caused me 
some confusion initially as well.

To make things slightly more confusing, "lyxpipe" is only the root 
basename; when the pipes are created, LyX appends ".in" and ".out" 
automatically so that if you look in the directory where they are located 
you'll see "lyxpipe.in" and "lyxpipe.out"

Sure, the reference that you should type in the layout->Inputs menu is
/.lyxpipe
If set in the home dir, you should control that
->lyx&
->ls ~/.lyxpipe*
gets the created pipes, which are destyot]yed upon normal quit of lyx, but NOT
by abnormal action (lyx fault or window/os exit).
As the message tells you, you must clean ~/.lyxpipe.* in that case, as
the pipe does not work.

Put it inside a box, using ert, something like

It should also be possible to have the mbox inside the mathenvironment but

A file ~/.tkbibtexrc with the line

   set LyXpipe $env(HOME)/.lyx/lyxpipe

will change this to the "modern" default.

I'd prefer

float wrap for equations and figures

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I am trying to get floatwrap working in a document with both equations and 
figures (floatflt). I started by having only equation and thus I redefined 
the figure caption to Equation and it worked like a charm, but now I need to 
put some figures in there as well...

So I tried to define my own figure float environment, but I have problems. As 
I do not really know what I am doing ;) I would be obliged if someone could 
try to point me in the right direction. 

How do I get a new figurefloat environment with its own counters and 
figurename without changing the figurefloat ?

I am using Lyx 1.3.5 in windows. I have also installed Python 2.4.1.
Firsdt, I tried to use the new tex2lyx tool:

That file is broken and was fixed 2 weeks ago. Replace it with the version
you can get at
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/llncs.layout
and try again.

It seems that the tex2lyx packages on the wiki need to be updated!

Are you sure that's the reason? MaxCounter dissappeared from the layout 
files in November 2003 (Eg llncs.layout revision 1.11). It appears that 
the problem is that tex2lyx is accessing LyX 1.3.5's layout files, no?

Ie, if you were to remove the "-sysdir ..." part of the command:

$tex2lyx.exe -f -sysdir C:\tools\latex\lyx\share\lyx file.tex file.lyx

then things would "just work".

> It seems that the tex2lyx packages on the wiki need to be updated!

Not at all. Thanks for the correction. Nevertheless there were still errors
in some layout files that Jean-Marc fixed 2 weeks ago. I remember having
problems with MaxCounter just the day before that fix, but that was another

colorizing section headings

I'm trying to colorize my section headings, and I can't quite get it

If nobody tells me the good reason for the above behavior, I am going to

Or am I the only one who is experiencing this, maybe windows-specific or

As far as I know, this jumps to the label corresponding to the ref at

The naming has been changed in the development version (1.4) to "Goto Label"
recently. For the 1.3.x version, such a change is not intended, I think.

Yes it does, thank you. I was confused by the current situation because
of three things:
1. Calling this "ref" is really counter-intuitive; Jürgen said in the
other reply that in the future this will be called "goto label", which
is much better, so thanks for that change.
2. The cursor just seems to jump somewhere into the appropriate
paragraph, not right next to the label, so the intended functionality
doesn't become very obvious to the uninitiated. (This is probably a
known issue I would assume.)
3. My document just has quite a few labels and cross-refs, so that made
it more difficult for me to disentangle things (as if you cared...)

Re: Generating PDF files with pdftex/pdftex_t type images

[Omair-Inam Abdul-Matin]

Ok,

tex2pdf was behaving strangely.  I changed my pdflatex program to 
tex2pdf (I followed all the instructions for configuring, etc. on the 
tex2pdf site).  When I tried to convert to pdf most of the times I would 
get the message,


'tex2pdf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The weird thing is, some of the times a pdf file was generated. 
Unfortunately, in the images that came out the latex text was displayed 
but not the postscript part (the lines and other stuff).


I use the perl script that I've given at the end of the message for 
batch converting all my xfig images into pdftex, pstex or eps format as 
needed. Then I'm using pdflatex inside LyX for the export.  However, I 
had to solve a number of problems on windows:


1. The pdftex/pdftex_t combo file exported by xfig causes an error in 
pdflatex since pdftex is not recognized as an image format.  However, if 
I change the pdftex file to pdf and change the 
\includegraphics{file.pdftex} statement in the pdftex_t file to 
\includegraphics{file.pdf} it works fine.  The script basically 
automates this process.
2. The pdftex file generated by xfig is normally rotated so that when 
the pdf is generated the image needs to be rotated to be placed 
properly. To solve this I need to use fig2dev with the -p flag (portrait 
mode)


Some more info about the script for those that are interested.
I'm typing up my thesis which is located in multiple directories, each 
of which has an images subdirectory.  The script looks for a tex_images 
file which contains a list of all the images in the directory which 
contain latex text and must therefore be converted to pstex/pdftex 
format.  It then iterates through each fig image and converts it to a 
pdftex and pstex, or eps format as needed.


My LyX version is 1.3.5 and I'm using the fig2dev script that comes with 
cygwin... for those who are interested.

help with layouts listbox in toolbar

[solfog]

I have lyx from debian unstable 1.3.4, and lyx --version shows:
Configuration
  Host type:  i686-pc-linux-gnu
  Special build flags:warnings assertions
  C   Compiler:   gcc
  C   Compiler flags: -g -O2
  C++ Compiler:   g++ (3.3.3)
  C++ Compiler flags:  -g -O2 -fno-exceptions -W -Wall
  Linker flags:
  Frontend:   qt
Qt version:   3.2.3
  LyX binary dir: /usr/bin
  LyX files dir:  /usr/share/lyx


My problem is: when clicking on the layouts listbox of the toolbar, lyx (or qt)
tries to show *all* the layouts on the same "window" which is impossible because
there are a lot and I can't scroll down to get the one I want.
I'd like the listbox to display a list with a scrollbar, which it used to do a
while ago before I had to reinstalled debian.

Problem w/ Windows install: no layout description

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

I installed the Windows version of Lyx on my machine. However, when I try to 
start up Lyx, I get an error message that says "lyx wasn't able to find any 
layout description... Check the contents of the file "textclass.lst"". I looked 
at textclass.lst in .../lyx/share/lyx but I really have no idea what I'm 
looking for.

(Also, when I first started up Lyx, and tried to install the ieeetrans package 
from the internet, the program started thrashing the disk and eventually just 
died. The above is the mssage I get when I subsequently start it up again)

thanks

Do you have miktex installed?

Yes I do. It initially asked me about installing MikTeX and wanted to know
the name of the local package it was located in (or something like that). I
gave it the location of my MixTex install (as well as the local folder) but
it didn't like either one, so I just had it skip that step

Gah, no read-receipts please!

-Are you running the lyx version compiled with qt-noncommercial?
-if you type "latex" into a command prompt, does it run latex?

RE: LyXwin not finding miktex -- SOLVED

[Steven Ning]

Ah, I found out what was going on. After I put the miktex binaries directory
in my PATH, I had to remove the .lyx folder in C:\Documents and
Settings\user and THEN let it reconfigure. It works now!

Thanks for the help!
Steven

sorry bout that. I turned it off

I am using the Windows binary. It's not supposed to require anything but
MikTex and some fonts (see http://home.versatel.nl/rareitsma/lyx/)

RE: Problem w/ Windows install: no layout description

[Steven Ning]

 
Yes, according to that site, there are three versions to download. Are you
using the one called "lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe"?
Also, latex.exe comes with miktex. If you can't run latex from any directory
in your command prompt, I'm pretty sure you need to add the miktex bin
directory to your windows PATH variable so LyX can find miktex. (see my
thread "LyXwin not finding miktex")
