Thanks for your comment Les. I solved this by using Document  Settings

Turns out that I also did this in the article document class file I

Rotating table float 'breaks' figure float

[Elisa Haining]

I am using Lyx Version 2.0.4 on a Mac.

I have a wide table that I would like to place on a separate landscape
page. I am currently using Document Class: article.
After some searching the best advice I could see was to import the table as
a pdf to the lyx document, however, this means that the table will not be
numbered correctly or appear in the list of tables (correct?).

I have used the 'rotate sideways' button in the float:table settings.
However, when I first tried to viewpdf I got an error msg saying LaTeX
Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in 1_Users_. I have another
figure float which I have not turned sideways, which is where the problem
seems to be coming from. I have no problem with this figure float until I
try to turn the table sideways. I checked the pdf without the figure float
and the table has not been rotated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Elisa

Uninstalling compiled-from-source Lyx

[UD]

Since I can't get the spellchecker to work with my compiled-from-source
Lyx 2.0.4 (all the relevant boxes are grayed out, despite having all the 
dictionaries and spellcheckers installed), I would like to
uninstall it.
However,  the installation was done from the source, not through the ubuntu 
package
manager, so I need to do it by hand, but

sudo make uninstallin the source directory

returns: make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.

Any advice?
Thanks--

Re: Spellchecker-- AGAIN

[UD]

I tried removing ~/.lyx and restarting Lyx before I posted my original 
question, but it did not work.
My suspicion is that the compiled-from-source lyx somehow failed to make 
contact with the spellchecker and dictionaries,
and that when I run lyx it is that version (from /usr/local/bin) that is 
actually running.  I do not have this problem on several other machines, 
where I used the binary installer (both for Windows and for ubuntu), 
which is why I suspect the compiled-from-source version.

This is strange. It should work out of the box with the PPA build,
provided that the relevant packages are installed. Have you tried with
a vanilla profile? (Say, remove ~/.lyx and restart LyX.) Additionally,
try to install enchant.

I don't think so-- where are they?  However, I SHOULD be able to

if there is no uninstall script, I shall have to remove the relevant

Success-- although the progress towards it was rather tortuous.

1. I compiled and installed hunspell-devel
2. Recompiled and reinstalled lyx 2.0.4
3. Told lyx that the spellchecker to use was Enchant (when I tried to
