LyX 1.5.1-3-18-AltInstaller-xxx.exe

2007-08-22 Thread Paul Schwartz
Hi,

Is it strictly necessary to uninstall former LyX versions ahead of 
installing 1.5.1 using the hereabove installer or official one's or can it 
be executed directly ?

thanks and regards

Paul

The official installer does not require previous version to be 
uninstalled. I don't know about the alternate installer.

It is there. As described at the wiki-page, you have to extract to the /doc folder where LyX is 
installed. E.g. to


C:\Programs\LyX 1.5.1\Resources\doc

the images folder is here:

C:\Programs\LyX 1.5.1\Resources\images

I agree with Bennett, you seem to have (tried to) installed Python v. 
1.5 (If I remember correctly Python 2.3 ships with the OS).

You can also try running python by just typing python in the

If python doesn't work then this is your main concern and not LyX in

The images directory in the Lyx-1.5 install directory is empty.
Therefore, I cannot compile the file into a dvi ps or pdf.  I searched my

You're confusing the install directory (which on Mac is contained  
within the LyX.app bundle) with the user's directory, which is at ~/ 
Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5. The images dir in the user's dir  
is indeed empty, but not LyX.app/Contents/Resources/images.

I agree with Bennett, you seem to have (tried to) installed Python 
v.1.5 (If I remember correctly Python 2.3 ships with the OS).

Try opening the Terminal and typing python -V  What do you get?
You can also try running python by just typing python in the 
Terminal. (Try by typing something like 2+2 and return to see that 
it works, and then Ctrl D to quit).
If python doesn't work then this is your main concern and not LyX 
in itself.

Hmmm...
python -V gives 2.3.5
and
python does work fine (i.e., 2 + 2 gives 4)

Any other leads?

... from other mail ...
And of course I don't have a folder 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework.  I do have a  Python folder 
is in /Library/Python/2.3 and which python gives usr/bin/python.


OK, so you have a functioning Python 2.3, but LyX looks for a 2.5 (it 
seems).
Bennett, is it possible to specify for LyX exactly where to look? Or 
does it look in PYTHONPATH?


I don't understand what's going on here -- either on Clover's system 
or in python more generally, and I don't have the time right now to 
look into it. Perhaps a python expert can chime in

Thanks a lot guys... I will try to work on it in more detail.

Is it strictly necessary to uninstall former LyX versions ahead of

The official installer does not require previous version to be 
uninstalled. I don't know about the alternate installer.

It is there. As described at the wiki-page, you have to extract to the /doc folder where LyX is 
installed. E.g. to


C:\Programs\LyX 1.5.1\Resources\doc

the images folder is here:

C:\Programs\LyX 1.5.1\Resources\images

The "images" directory in the Lyx-1.5 install directory is empty.
Therefore, I cannot compile the file into a dvi ps or pdf.  I searched my
entire disk and the image files referenced in the user guide are not
installed.

FYI, I am running Lyx 1.5 on a Mac (haven't upgraded to 1.5.1 yet).

You're confusing the install directory (which on Mac is contained  
within the LyX.app bundle) with the user's directory, which is at ~/ 
Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5. The images dir in the user's dir  
is indeed empty, but not LyX.app/Contents/Resources/images.


(By the way, you really should upgrade to 1.5.1.)
