Re: moc library

2003-11-11 Thread Jerome Schretter
moc (or moc2 or moc3) are basically tools for converting source files
containing qt code to match your specific implementation.
So this programme is necessary to compile lyx with the qt interface.
It should be present on your system if you've got qt installed.

You may used 
locate moc | grep /moc$

to check if it's there.
Once you know where it is, you may add this directory path to the list
used by configure. (run ./confugure --help to find the correct way to do
that) or run
PATH=$PATH:/your/path/comes/here/ ./configure

Then moc should be found.
Hope it helps,

Re: strange bug in RH9 qt lyx1.3.3

2003-10-27 Thread Jerome Schretter
I don't have any solution to your specific problem. All I can say is
that I had a similar problem with klipper on a RH7.3 system distribution
and with lyx1.3.1 running under KDE.
After selecting text in lyx and clicking on the klipper icon in the
taskbar, it took a while for klipper to pop-up the menu.
Depending on the amount of text selected: the more text I selected, the
longer it took klipper to display the menu.
Some other persons reported no problem under similar conditions on an
updated system (i.e. rh7.3 + some patches). I thought it was klipper's
fault which may have been lost because of lyx's treatment of text.
That's only a very wild guess as I don't know much of lyx's internal
text handling.

A bug in the taskbar or another part of your desktop can't be ruled out.
May be you could try to find a way to reproduce the bug.

From your description, one doesn't know what desktop you're using. Maybe
you can provide more detailed information.

the lyx file contains a lot of \usepackage commands.
and I am using the report-koma package. When trying to use report, no

But some parameter is overrun and TeX(?) has to stop compilation.
Any hint?

2003-10-17 Thread Jerome Schretter
Actually no, I am using pictex.
I produced a pictex file using xfig and wanted to call it (\input) from
lyx.
It works well in a simple document i.e. it works when only a few
\usepackage commands are present in the lyx file.

When I \input the pictex file from my real life lyx file, it produces
this error about an overrun counter.
I have many \usepackage commands because I also import some tables
produced with gnumeric.

I want to import a latex (pictex) file as it contains some latex (math)
commands that have to be treated by latex.

There are some other latex compatible formats (epic, eepic, etc.) but I
haven't tried them out. As I wrote earlier I think it is a barrier
somewhere in TeX but I'm not sure and don't know how to overcome that.

 I suppose you are using the xy package ...
 And this is one of the problems of xy pic, it uses too
 much counters. Try to use pstricks instead.

Hi

It works for me. However I had problems using gerplain as a biography
style. Using plain, it works well from within LyX. I ought to check
this further.

I am including a copy of the test file. Try it out and report if you
have some problems otherwise reproduce these steps to insert a bibfile:
insert the bib file through Insert-list and contents-bibfile
then use cite as usual.

I noticed, one reference looks rather strange: [3,
4]: it is split on two lines. with no possibility---at least that I know
of---to remediate to this if not inserting a latex command instead.

Hope it helps.

RE: bibtex in Lyx

2003-10-17 Thread Jerome Schretter
your're right. Theres's probably a problem with the biography style as I
pointed out with gerplain.
Alternatively I exported the lyx file (using bibliography style
gerplain) to tex.
run latex once
run bibtex
run latex twice (error messages, forget it)

I got a dvi file out of that.

So it's possible to work with plain until you change the style and get
the biography using the style you really want.

If you find another workaround, please report it

style. Using plain, it works well from within LyX. I ought to check
this further.

I am including a copy of the test file. Try it out and report if you
have some problems otherwise reproduce these steps to insert a bibfile:
insert the bib file through Insert-list and contents-bibfile
then use cite as usual.

I noticed, one reference looks rather strange: [3,
4]: it is split on two lines. with no possibility---at least that I know
of---to remediate to this if not inserting a latex command instead.

Hope it helps.

RE: bibtex in Lyx

2003-10-17 Thread Jerome Schretter
your're right. Theres's probably a problem with the biography style as I
pointed out with gerplain.
Alternatively I exported the lyx file (using bibliography style
gerplain) to tex.
run latex once
run bibtex
run latex twice (error messages, forget it)

I got a dvi file out of that.

So it's possible to work with plain until you change the style and get
the biography using the style you really want.

If you find another workaround, please report it

Cheers,
J.

error while compiling: \dimen exceeded

2003-10-17 Thread Jerome Schretter
Hi folks,

I know this problem should/could be posted to a (La)-TeX list too. But
maybe some of you can help me anyway.

I get this error while compiling lyx code:

log file:
---snip---

This error message was generated by an \errmessage
command, so I can't give any explicit help.

snap

the lyx file contains a lot of \usepackage commands.
and I am using the report-koma package. When trying to use report, no
error is produced.
Anyway, my guess is: it doesn't have to do with report or report-koma.
But some parameter is overrun and TeX(?) has to stop compilation.
Any hint?
got this problem before?

Thanks for any help

cannot get bold sans serif faces in math mode

2003-10-17 Thread Jerome Schretter
Hi folks,

I cannot get bold sans serif faces in math mode (using AMS). Is it a
LaTeX bug or something is wrong on my side.
Please try out the attached lyx file to check for yourself.

Re: error while compiling: \dimen exceeded

2003-10-17 Thread Jerome Schretter
Actually no, I am using pictex.
I produced a pictex file using xfig and wanted to call it (\input) from
lyx.
It works well in a simple document i.e. it works when only a few
\usepackage commands are present in the lyx file.

When I \input the pictex file from my real life lyx file, it produces
this error about an overrun counter.
I have many \usepackage commands because I also import some tables
produced with gnumeric.

I want to import a latex (pictex) file as it contains some latex (math)
commands that have to be treated by latex.

There are some other latex compatible formats (epic, eepic, etc.) but I
haven't tried them out. As I wrote earlier I think it is a barrier
somewhere in TeX but I'm not sure and don't know how to overcome that.

It works for me. However I had problems using "gerplain" as a biography
style. Using "plain", it works well from within LyX. I ought to check
this further.

I am including a copy of the test file. Try it out and report if you
have some problems otherwise reproduce these steps to insert a bibfile:
insert the bib file through Insert->list and contents->bibfile
