And when I started *another computer* this morning Mageia's Software Manger offered lib64magic-devel and php-devel, both x86_64. Coincidence or luck or whatever it was, the installation of Lyx 2.2.0 (as root) ran smoothly without any complaint and Lyx 2.2 showed up. At this point I would like to thank you for helping me! One more question though: What to do next to give LyX access to TL2016? I have TL2016 installed and the GUI is active. Mageia's Software manager offers eight texlive2013 packages, but non of it installed. I started Lyx 2.2, created a new document (KOMA article) and exported it to PDF - all worked fine. One user advised to type '/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux' in the PATH prefix of Lyx's Preferences - which I haven't done yet. So, are there no further actions to be taken from my side ? Great help and great programs! Cheers, Michael

There are reasons to compile yourself (e.g. to make a substitution) but unless you have a reason, LyX is better to use because it knows how many times you must run xelatex (if you only run it once, you might not have the table of contents, or citations). > Notice that this script uses --export xetex and xelatex.

Script to repeatedly compile a document
Hi all, The following is a script to repeatedly compile a LyX document that's under construction or debugging: == #!/bin/sh mainname=ch20 flagg=a while [ "$flagg" != "q" ]; do rm $mainname.tex rm $mainname.aux rm $mainname.pdf rm $mainname.log rm $mainname.dvi lyx --export xetex $mainname.lyx xelatex $mainname.tex mupdf $mainname.pdf echo echo -n "Hit q then Enter to quit, " echo -n "any else to continue=\>" read flagg done == Obviously, the preceding was made to repeatedly compile a document called ch20.lyx, but this can be changed, or it can be changed to $1 so that you can put the document name minus extension on the shellscript command line. Notice that this script uses --export xetex and xelatex. This is so you can compile documents that use non-TeX fonts. There's also a way to do it with LuaTeX, but I don't know it. This script uses mupdf to view the finished PDF. Since discovering mupdf, I've configured LyX to use it as LyX's exclusive PDF reader. It's lightning fast, and even though it doesn't automatically update when the file it's reading changes, after doing Ctrl+Shift+R in LyX and waiting for that to complete, you can press the r key in mupdf for an instant update. Or if you really want automatic updates, write a little script to loop inotifywait and rerun mupdf every time the PDF changes.

lyx-2.2.0 installation ./configure cannot find libmagic
Hi dear Lyx users, I downloaded lyx-2.2.0.tar.gz, extracted it and after cd to /.../lyx-2.2.0 run # ./configure it run till the end but then said to have found "minor problems": Cannot find libmagic. Check that the libmagic library is correctly installed. Falling back to builtin file format detection. Contradicting enough, it continues saying: Configuration of LyX was successful. Type 'make' to compile the program, and then 'make install' to install it. But running 'make' also ends up with errors. I found libmagic here: /usr/src/php-devel/extensions//fileinfo/libmagic with 23 files in /libmagic suffixed .c or .h Could somebody please help with this? I have Mageia5 / KDE Thanks and cheers, Michael
