Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

[E. Kaplan]

Dear Uwe,
Thanks for your help.

  1. I got the error when I was in the C:\program files\Lyx 1.6.5\bin
 directory.
  2. Lyx.exe resides in that same directory
  3. As far as I know, no other Lyx is installed on either one of the
 two XP systems where the alitnstaller fails (I removed Lyx before
 the installation using the Windows Add or Remove Programs tool)
  4. I tried to redirect the output of the cmd window to a file, but
 even though the file opens, nothing is ever written to it, so I
 cannot send you the log-- it is empty.  The Task manager shows the
 Lyxlauncher to be running, but it seems to be doing nothing.
  5. Miktex was originally installed on my machine and worked without
 any problems (using Lyx, Winedt, etc.)  I removed and reinstalled
 it when the altinstaller failed. 
  6. The path to latex.exe is: c:\program files\miktex 2.8\miktex\bin

Lyx is not recognized as an internal or external command is the

For some functions, Latex must call external functions like GNUPLOT.

% Plotting will be done using GNUPLOT
% GNUPLOT must be installed and you must allow Latex to call external programs 
by
% Adding the following option to your compiler
% shell-escapeORenable-write18

(Disclaimer:  I have not tried this myself, since I don't use gnuplot.)

First, you obviously need to have gnuplot installed and working.

In LyX, go to Tools  Preferences  File Handling  Converters and 
select (highlight) the LaTeX (pdflatex) - PDF (pdflatex) converter. 
In the Converter: entry, change pdflatex $$i to pdflatex 
--shell-escape $$i and save it.  See if that helps.


If it does, you might consider a fancier solution.  You could go to 
Tools  Preferences  File Handling  File formats and create a new 
format (let's call it PDF (with plots)), then back to ...  Converters 
and create a LaTeX (pdflatex) - PDF (with plots) converter using the 
converter syntax above (and return the first converter to its original 
syntax).  You would then use View  PDF (with plots) rather than View 
 PDF (pdflatex) to view files with gnuplots in them (and similarly 
with file export). The reason for doing this would be security -- it 
would allow shell escapes only for documents where you knew you needed 
them. FWIW, I think the low security approach is pretty safe unless you 
have a habit of including raw LaTeX files from unverified sources in 
your documents.

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

[E. Kaplan]

Good news-- I saw Uwe's note that the standard installer for 1.6.5 for 
Windows is now finally available.  So I uninstalled Lyx once again, and 
using the standard installer was able to install and run Lyx on both 
Windows XP machines, on which the altinstaller was giving me such a hard 
time.
I now have Lyx working again on both machines, and all is well.  What 
is/was the source of the problem with the altinstaller might be a 
subject for further research, but for now I have a working system again.

Hi Paul,
Your first suggestion did not work.
At compiling he gives an:which he did not give before:

 File does not exist:
 /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T15846/lyx_tmpbuf2/ex_fys_5aso_2u_kerst.pdf
   (ex_fys_5aso_2u_kerst is the name of my file)

But my feeling is you are on the right track...

The problem now is that I cant compile any lyx-file anymore :-)
So , for the moment I'll try to get back to my previous Lyx-configuration.
Thanks for helping, you made me feel as if I'm 'pretty close'

Currently I haven't any clue why it doesn't work for you -- I need the logfile.
As really nothing helps:

- uninstall LyX _completely_
- uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
- restart your PC
- log in as Admin and search the registry to assure that no leftovers are there. If you find 
something about lyx or miktex remove these registry keys.

- restart your PC
- install MiKTeX 2.8 manually (basic installer from www.miktex.org)
- install LyX 1.6.4! (not 1.6.5) using the small version of the alternative LyX 
installer

Does it then work?

I don't know if this is possible because I don't have a Windows server system and never worked with

You can install MiKTeX separately. Look at its homepage to find out if it provides group policy

 Is it possible to have effect on this order in another way, than to

AFAIK, this is possible with some special sort-key in the bibtex file.

This is how it should be.
LyX is programmed in a way that a console is always started. My and also the standard installer 
hides it immediately. That you can see the console for a few milliseconds is normal. The time 
depends on the speed of your system.

So I don't understand your concerns.

Hi,
I'm not a Latex/lyx expert but I have the same kind of problems with
GNUPLOT in Lyx as you have.

I've been searching for a solution for centuries, and for me it boils
down to this:

(Disclaimer:  I have not tried this myself, since I don't use gnuplot.)

First, you obviously need to have gnuplot installed and working.

In LyX, go to Tools  Preferences  File Handling  Converters and 
select (highlight) the LaTeX (pdflatex) - PDF (pdflatex) converter. 
In the Converter: entry, change pdflatex $$i to pdflatex 
--shell-escape $$i and save it.  See if that helps.


If it does, you might consider a fancier solution.  You could go to 
Tools  Preferences  File Handling  File formats and create a new 
format (let's call it PDF (with plots)), then back to ...  Converters 
and create a LaTeX (pdflatex) - PDF (with plots) converter using the 
converter syntax above (and return the first converter to its original 
syntax).  You would then use View  PDF (with plots) rather than View 
 PDF (pdflatex) to view files with gnuplots in them (and similarly 
with file export). The reason for doing this would be security -- it 
would allow shell escapes only for documents where you knew you needed 
them. FWIW, I think the low security approach is pretty safe unless you 
have a habit of including raw LaTeX files from unverified sources in 
your documents.

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

[E. Kaplan]

Good news-- I saw Uwe's note that the standard installer for 1.6.5 for 
Windows is now finally available.  So I uninstalled Lyx once again, and 
using the standard installer was able to install and run Lyx on both 
Windows XP machines, on which the altinstaller was giving me such a hard 
time.
I now have Lyx working again on both machines, and all is well.  What 
is/was the source of the problem with the altinstaller might be a 
subject for further research, but for now I have a working system again.

This is how it should be.
LyX is programmed in a way that a console is always started. My and also the standard installer 
hides it immediately. That you can see the console for a few milliseconds is normal. The time 
depends on the speed of your system.

So I don't understand your concerns.

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

Dear Uwe,
Thanks for your help.

  1. I got the error when I was in the C:\program files\Lyx 1.6.5\bin
 directory.
  2. Lyx.exe resides in that same directory
  3. As far as I know, no other Lyx is installed on either one of the
 two XP systems where the alitnstaller fails (I removed Lyx before
 the installation using the Windows Add or Remove Programs tool)
  4. I tried to redirect the output of the cmd window to a file, but
 even though the file opens, nothing is ever written to it, so I
 cannot send you the log-- it is empty.  The Task manager shows the
 Lyxlauncher to be running, but it seems to be doing nothing.
  5. Miktex was originally installed on my machine and worked without
 any problems (using Lyx, Winedt, etc.)  I removed and reinstalled
 it when the altinstaller failed. 
  6. The path to latex.exe is: c:\program files\miktex 2.8\miktex\bin

GNUPLOT in Lyx? = How to allow Latex to call external programs?

[peter kint]

Hi,
I'm trying to gete PGF/Tikz compiled in Lyx for my mathematical illustrations.
For some functions, Latex must call external functions like GNUPLOT.

The solution is described below:

% PGF/Tikz doesn't support the following mathematical functions:
% tan, cosh, acosh, sinh, asinh, tanh, atanh
% Plotting will be done using GNUPLOT
% GNUPLOT must be installed and you must allow Latex to call external programs 
by
% Adding the following option to your compiler
% shell-escapeORenable-write18 
% Example: pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex 

How do I do this? How do I add this option to my compiler?

Thx for reading.

Really? This should only be visible for a few milliseconds. Only at  
the first start after an installation the console Windows is shown  
to indicate the current installation status of LaTeX-packages.


In general, I think the standalone installer is more "clean". This  
is why I

prefer it. :-)


They do basically the same (also the hiding of the console window),  
the differences are listed here:

AFAIK, this is possible with some special sort-key in the bibtex file.
This is described somewhere in the documentation that comes with bibtex.

This is how it should be.
LyX is programmed in a way that a console is always started. My and also the standard installer 
hides it immediately. That you can see the console for a few milliseconds is normal. The time 
depends on the speed of your system.

So I don't understand your concerns.
