Hello

I 've written


Conversely, sh -c latex file.tex runs, as the command is search inside
the string itself.


Although this is true, it is not the reason why lyx didn't compile my 
imported LaTeX. First, I relied on the ps command in trying to figure 
out what was happening. But ps does not show the double quotes (if any) 
when displaying processes, I see. So I said but didn't know.


I could at last compile some imported LaTeX, when commenting out 
\pagestyle{fancy} If uncommented, lyx freezes when making a dvi.

I suppose that pagestyle makes no sense in lyx ?

Hello,

I've mistyped :


On a Mandriva, sh  behaves the same way :
 sh -c find -name toto
runs a quite different way from this

  sh -c find -name toto

Sorry about typing in hurry.

Is uninstalling required ?

2007-11-20 Thread Herve Autret

Hi there,

I'm new again in LyX, currently 1.5.1 under Linux. I've been trying 
using it years ago, but I gave up because of difficulties in maintaining 
 documents, especially when formulas had to be edited, as far as I can 
remember. Importing to and from LaTeX was quite poor, too. I've tried 
again : I just wanted to import a simple page and... It'been a long time 
since I hadn't seen a frozen app ;-)


Let's say I'd better upgrade before trying again. So, my point : if I 
compile Lyx, should I type make uninstall in Lyx-1.5.1 before make 
install in 1.5.2, or just make install in the most recent source tree ?


Regards

I've uninstalled 1.5.1 (in case of...) and installed 1.5.2.

LyX-1.5.2 can't compile tex files, either. It hooks in an endless 
waiting, as it forks(?) to run

sh -c latex 'latexdoc.tex'

When typed in a shell, sh -c makes latex to ask for the filename, so 
noone can reply anything here...


Does anybody know what's going wrong here ?
