If you have Redhat 6.0, you should just go and do the tetex upgrade

rpm --force -Uvh tetex-*
This will re-install the tetex package and it will actually work this

lyx-1.0.3-3.src.rpm [was: All is well]
Hi Ben, I hope you don't mind my CC'ing this to the lyx-users list. Alternatively, you can just grab the lyx-1.0.3-3.src.rpm from my ftp server. This has been updated. If you do that, a simple rpm --rebuild lyx-1.0.3-3.src.rpm should do the trick. Ben I took this option since I figured it would be a good idea to Ben test the file that other would be using. Ben Worked like a dream. Well done and thanks for all your help. Great! What this means is that, a RedHat 5.2 and RPM 2.5 user can take the lyx-1.0.3-3.src.rpm and do ``rpm --rebuild'' and generate his own RPM (tailored to his machine) to install. Even though the RPM on my site was generated using RedHat 6.0 and RPM 3.0.1, the src.rpm format (and the spec file) is compatible enough for this to work.

In general the upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0 was the smoothest I've experienced since I started with RedHat 3.0.3 (Picasso). However, the TeX upgrade sucks. First, none of the files got installed, and I had to do rpm -Uhv --force for most of the tetex packages. And now it seems that hyphenation is totally screwed. I'm getting words being hyphenated like this: W-hole, so-cial, C-PS. I need to go into production very soon to produce 460 LaTeX documents but if the hyphenation is going to behave so aberrantly I'm going to have to go back to 5.2.

They're not actually broken (I run with them just fine).
The problem is with the installation of them. For some reason, you
have to hand-install the tetex packages after the installation tries
to auto-install them for you.
Do:
rpm -Uvh --force tetex-*
Followed by the following (to make sure that the tetex packages are
actually installed and complete). If any are not, force-install them
again by hand and ``rpm -V'' to verify.
rpm -V `rpm -qa | grep tetex`
This should fix the problem. After this, don't forget to edit the
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps for the local paper type.

Printing problem

Steven Hi,

Steven The text starts printing from the very edge of the paper. If
Steven I view postscript and print from the viewer (I use GV), the

The problem is almost certainly your dvips config.ps file.
Check that, fix it, and your problem will be gone.
The ghostview program is called with a letter paper size, so it
"fixes" the problem for you and when you print, you get what you
expect.

Extra styles - How to include them
Try setting your TEXINPUTS to point to the directory where the addition style files are (in addition to the standard places) and the do Options-Reconfigure from within LyX. LyX and LaTeX should then be able to use those additional style files. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan | Proud husband of | Father to Sylvan Associates, Inc.| Laura Isabella Sylvan | Katherine Yelena (8/8/89) http://www.isp.net/~kayvan || Robin Gregory (2/28/92)

Re: LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System
One other idea: Is your TEXINPUTS (or whatever is used when that is not set) configured correctly for the system? Can you actually use LaTeX outside of LyX? That may be the problem, I don't know. ---Kayvan
Re: LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System
You might want to set your TEXINPUTS to something like this: export TEXINPUTS=.:/home/your_home_dir/src/tex/sty:/usr/share/texmf/tex// The "//" tells the suite of TeX and dvips programs to search all subdirectories for the style files.

Try running ``lyx -dbg'' with a bit pattern number.
The bits are:
INFO = (1),// 1
INIT = (1 << 1), // 2
KEY= (1 << 2), // 4
TOOLBAR= (1 << 3), // 8
LEX_PARSER = (1 << 4), // 16
LYXRC = (1 << 5), // 32
KBMAP = (1 << 6), // 64
LATEX = (1 << 7), // 128
MATHED = (1 << 8), // 256
FONT = (1 << 9), // 512
TCLASS = (1 << 10), // 1024
LYXVC = (1 << 11), // 2048
ROFF = (1 << 12), // 4096
LYXSERVER = (1 << 13), // 8192
Executing ``lyx -dbg 65535'' is probably too much.

It might be your TeX. Have you tried running the Options-Reconfigure
