Re: Basics
Hello Jannika and welcome to the Lyx-world! 1.) i'd like to import a graphic (eps) into my lyx file. even though i do not get an error message, neither in lyx nor in the pdf file does the graphic show. Maybe you don't have the converter program (imagemagick) installed? 2.) when i try to export my lyx file into postscript or rtf format i get an error message. What message? i use lyx 1.4.4. on a macbook (os x). any help is appreciated, but please write instructions so that i (not even remotely a computer expert!!!) can follow them. I use Ubuntu so maybe Lyx on OS X is different. But the more verbose you are on your problems the easier it will be to help you. Good luck.
Lyx cv class
In my current installation (linux) of 1.5.0rc2, I see that the lyx curriculum vitae class (cv.cls) is not available, allthough lyx apparently installed it in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx/. How (in linux) do I make this class available? I didn't find the Customization documentation particularly clear on this point. I tried texhash /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx/ in the hope that this directory would then be part of the latex search path, but this failed. The cv class is still listed by lyx as unavailable. Suggestions? Thanks, Jim
