Have you tried NOT including the '.tex' extension on the \input{}

correctly, you have to leave that bit off (for which reason I don't

Yes, I have tried it and it did not work. TeX I do not know, however,
LaTeX and pdfLaTeX understand perfectly \input{foo.tex} and as I said
before running pdflatex on the tex file exported from lyx-2.0.1 from a
terminal works (with relative path and extension tex to the preamble file)

I think the problem is that LyX does not copy the

I have encountered this kind of behavior before (albeit in a different
case) but I could not find any reasonable solution beyond providing the
full path.
I do not know! As far as I know before lyx 2.0.1 using relative paths
was the way to ensure to share projects that use many directories to
organize the information. I have been using lyx since 1997 and never
have a problem with this. In fact, I have been used to work in this way
and it even worst I teach many people to do so.
It would be nice if there were a solution to this.
sure!
For your
case, unless you must maintain this kind of directory structure, it
might help you if you put your preamble.tex file in the same directory
as your *.lyx file and use \input{preamble.tex} instead of a relative
path.
This solution will be a nightmare! I got people at my institute to move
from word to lyx and we have created many svn projects, books and many
other things that rely on the fact that lyx can understand relative
paths and in this way we can work all together. Hope there is something
more evident.
I cannot believe that this version of lyx is going to drop the support
to relative paths I put an example with a tex file, but what about child
documents, graphic files and others that until now I didn't tested with
lyx 2.0.1.
Although I am not entirely sure, in LyX 1.6.x there was a way to tell
LyX to use the current WD instead of a temp one.
Here using lyx-1.6.10 with the test I sent everything is ok. As far as I
am concerned it does not require to tell lyx anything

default math mode for multiline equations
Dear lyxers I would like to know if there is some way to customize the math environment that lyx provides when Ctrl+Enter is used (multiline formulae). As it is described at the math documentation section 18.1 when AMS math package is used the align environment is used as the default. Now I would like to use lyx memoir book together with AMS math package but using gather environment as the default environment for multiline math expressions. However, I cannot find at the preferences or layout files where this can be set. Sorry if I have missed something evident but I've checked documentation and gmane mailing lists and I couldn't find any answer. Can I customize lyx behaviour to get gather multiline environment when I hit CTRL+Enter using the AMS math package? Thanks in advance for your help Best regards Oscar

Jurgen:
Thank you very much for your detailed and helpful explanation
The glyph '@' has two different meanings in LaTeX. It is used as an active
char (inside the document) and (for instance) as a namespace delimiter (in
classes). The latter is the case in your preamble snippet, e.g. in
l...@mkboth\markboth
To switch between these two meanings, the commands \makeatletter and
\makeatother are used. In general, you always need to embrace preamble code
with
\makeatletter
...
\makeatother
if it contains an '@'.
LyX does this automatically for you, that's why your document works if the
code is inserted directly to the preamble. In former versions, Lyx blindly
embraced any preamble with this pair. Now, it tries to be smart and only
embraces it if the preamble actually contains an @-glyph.
In the \include-version, this is not the case.
So now, somehow lyx parses the preamble and tries to be smart enough.
The solution is
a.) to embrace the original code accordingly, if it is in a normal tex file
or
ok! This solves the problem.
Thanks again for your help, it is really appreciated.

Re: memoir class lyx-1.5 file does not work with lyx-1.6
Dear all
I have been able to reproduce the problem. Attached there is a minimal
lyx file together with a minimal preamble (foo.tex) which reproduces the
problem.

the aforementioned error appears. If I enclose \input{foo.tex} between
\makeatletter and \makeatother then it works, which really puzzles me.
*if the content of the preamble foo.tex is directly included in the lyx

I am completely shocked about such behaviour. I am not sure what is
going on and I'd appreciate somebody could comment about this. I have
thought that could be related to master-child documents (the initial lyx
file was a master and several child but now it is just one document) but
it does not make any sense at all.
I usually write the preamble into an external text file, especially when
the preamble is complicated like the one of the book in order to be able
to easily edit it. However, I enclosing the lyx preamble of the actual
book between \makeatletter and \makeatother another errors appear as it
would be expected. So, I am completely lost and I do not know how the
problem could be solved. Perhaps I am missing something quite evident
and I am writing rubbish. Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

multiplatform vector drawing program to use

My colleague uses the windows version of lyx and I use the linux version. At this initial stage we can easily share simple documents. Now we are concerned with the use of a common vector drawing program that can be used at both platforms. The main feature that we require is that the vector drawing program can annotate drawings with latex math formulae.

But as Paul has pointed out mathptmx has no bold symbols. Therefore lyx has to
load something to the preamble in the case math boldsymbols are required. Either
a \usepackage{bm} together with \usepackage{mathptmx} are added or only
\usepackage{bm} is loaded. Please note that the first solution produces math
boldsymbols with poor quality while the second uses Computer Modern fonts.

pdf output of boldsymbol math does not work
Dear all
It seems that pdf output of boldsymbol math does not show properly when the
command \boldsymbol is used. I am using lyx-1.5.4 (compiled version using
kubuntu and texlive)
Open a new document (article) enter a math inset with \boldsymbol* an enter a
letter \boldsymbol{a} \boldsymbol{\alpha}. Then, View->PDF (pdflatex) the math
fonts are not bold faced. The culprit seems to be the \usepackage{mathptmx}
included by lyx at preamble. Adding \usepackage{bm} creates a quasi bold face
math both by shifting slightly the font (the looking using a zoom is poor)
However, if the package mathptmx is not loaded and only the bm package is
loaded, the Computer Modern where the bold symbols are present will be used,
which is the correct way to go.
Is there anybody experiencing something similar?
Is there any work around to avoid the automatic insertion by lyx of the mathptmx
package? What is the recommended way to produce math boldsymbols using the
current version of lyx?
Sorry if I missed something evident I have checked through the archives and I
didn't find anything related to this problem.
Thank you very much for your help
Best regards
* By the way when \boldsymbold{ is typed a box is created and left and right
braces are also created which imho is confussing.

Yesterday I updated from lyx-1.4.x to lyx-1.5.2 and first of all I would like to
thank to developers for such a great software.
The first try I did when testing the new version was to load a beamer
presentation I was working on. The first thing I got was a bunch of errors in
the Lyx: latex Errors window, something like this:
Latex Error: \begin{center} on input 211 ended by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup
You can't use '\prevdepth' in horizontal mode
Missing $ Inserted,
Missing number, treated as zero.
I finally managed to compile the document by moving to a new paragraph all lyx
notes and branches that were inlined within the text. What worries me is that I
have many presentations made in the past that I frequently use and I expect that
the same problem can appear. Has anybody experienced the same problem or similar
ones?
Another notorius difference is the new font selection mechanism. In lyx-1.4.x I
selected the fonts of the document to Times. Now the new font selection window
it says Default Family: Default and Roman: Times Roman. The problem is twofold
- the generated pdf embbeds type 3 fonts (bitmapped)
- the look of the fonts is quite different
Why lyx-1.5.2 does not load the previously used by lyx-1.4.x font correctly? And
by the way, when I selected Font: Times in lyx-1.4.x what is the font that I
have to select in lyx-1.5.2 to get the same printable results.
Having said that, I would like to underline that I really appreciate the new
features lyx-1.5.2 has and I am looking forward to working on a daily basis with
such a beautiful creature!
Thanks a lot for all your help
Best wishes

George, I followed too, your suggestion about external_template,
independently of the above solution, and it worked too.
Thanks to both of you
As a side note, how the external inset knows if the fig file must be
exported as combined ps/latex, it scans the fig file looking for the
special flag of the text?

"Floats" over more than one page
Hello eveyone
I have a book-based document and I am using the algorithm floats. The
document options are boxed and chapter and in this way the look of the
algorithm is boxed with the caption located at the bottm of the frame
with the numbering based on chapter number. I have only one long
algortihm that extents over more than one page. So, I checked the
amazing help provided by our beloved Herbert and, as usual, I found a
useful tip
http://www.lyx.org/help/floats/nonFloat.php3
So I tried to patch the Table example to cover the algorithm case
\newenvironment{myAlgorithm}[1] {% caption as parameter
\stepcounter{algorithm}
\vspace{1ex}
\addcontentsline{lot}{section}{\thealgorithm\hspace{0.75em} #1}
\center{\textbf{Algorithm \thealgorithm : }#1}%
}
{%
\vspace{1ex}%
\addtocounter{algorithm}{-1}%
}
and it works but the caption is located at the top of the algorithm, the
text is centered inside the float and there is no framebox. So, please
could you point me out a way to solve these problems? i.e
1. The caption located at the bottom of the algorithm
2. The framebox extended over more than one page
Thanks a lot for your help

To include avi files you can use the following command in the preamble:
\newcommand{\video}[5]{\vspace{#3}\hspace{#2}{\pdfannot width #4 height
#5 depth 0cm { /Subtype /Movie /C [1 0 0] /Border [0 0 3] /Movie
<> }}}
and then, by means of ERT
\video{g.avi}{4cm}{12cm}{12cm}{12cm}
where the first argument is the name of the file, and the 2nd and 3rd
control
the location of one corner, and 4th and 5th the width and height of the
box
You can control the color of the frame and thickness by modifying
/Border.
Hope it helps
PS If you are using linix the avi file won't display properly, as far as
I know, but the pdf can be created in linux and can be displayed
correctly in windoze
PS For the other formats, i.e. mpeg and mov I do not know if the trick
will work, I have never tried

dvips + psfrag problem ?
Hello lyxers First of all I apologize because the subject it is a little bit off-topic but I don't know where I can post a problem like this, please if you could point me out another forum I will be very grateful to you To compose figures with nice math fonts I use psfrag, but when I need to produce a pdf output I have to put the eps file with the psfrag commands in another lyx file, let's say psfrag.lyx, and try to adjust the paper size to the eps file bounding box and produce a eps file (using export-> postscript) with the psfrag substitutions. This latest eps file can be converted to pdf and in this way I can produce pdf figures with the same quality as postcript files with psfrag. Now when I insert the eps file, i.e. psfrag.eps, into the main lyx file, lyx produces a nice postscript in which there is no eps figures, ant the worst thing is that it doesnt complaint about anything. One year ago this worked for me. Now I am not able to produce the same result even with the same files generated one year ago. The only differences I have now are a new teTeX distribution and several lyx updates. After a lot of tests I am almost sure that the source problem could be dvips which has changed from v.5.78 to 5.86 or maybe some obscure parameter exchanging between lyx and the others programs. Dos anybody experience similar problems ? Does anybody know if dvips 5.86 is expected to be buggy ? Is anybody using this kind of solution to produce pdf figures with nice math fonts, i.e. mathscript ? What other kind of solutions exist to produce figures with math latex fonts in eps and pdf format at the same time ?

it works only the first time. I mean, the first time I write the three
paragrahs with param and after the foocommand style, then I try to write
another different paragrah style; but I try to use again the parama, paramb,
paramc, styles and then the output shows the oldest values of param, and it
doesn't work properly. It should be noticed that I am not very familiar with
latex command such as \def and I don't know how to reset their values, maybe
when the style foocommand has been issued,

Unfortunately this is not the case. Most of the times every argument
represent a field that you have to fill with an arbitrary text, and
sometimes some arguments remain empty and sometimes they must be
completely filled. The more usual latex command that I'd like to support
is something like that
\foocommand{first field with arbitrary text}{second field with arbitrary
text}{third field with arbitrary text}

Comments on lyx.1.1.5pre3 and layouts
Hi all lyx-user's
First of all, I would like to say that I am impressive with the new
version of lyx.1.1.5pre3 and I really appreciate all the lyx team
effort.
I have discovered a new feature that I really like it, that is the
possibility of editing and inserted label on the text, I have to say
that I am currently using lyx.1.1.4pre1 as the latest stable version and
perhaps I have missed the new feature in the meantime. I was wondering
if this feature is supposed to work too in the math-mode, because it
doesn't work for me, and this would be really nice.
Relating to layouts I have several questions
1. How is it possible to make a style that allows you to insert a latex
command without argument, I'd like to insert the style in a similar way
as insert table of contents, just a command. At this moment when I
selected the desired style I have to put a protected blank space,
Ctrl-space, to avoid to write something.
2. How can I create a style layout for a latex command with, let's say,
five arguments ?. I am trying to write a lyx layout for a specific cv
class, and in this class there are many latex commands with a different
number of arguments. For example, there are commands like
\foocommand{}{}{}{}{X}{foo}
that I'd like to support with a style layout
Thanks in advanced
Best regards

This is a good suggestion, the next time I will try to read the latex code,
but if I use lyx is to avoid the latex code that is too much for me ;-)
In my opinion, the underlying problem is the lack of possibilities of LyX
math mode to accomodate other math environments. Redefining the eqnarray
environment gives only one possibility to play with equations, so this is the
reason because I was asking if there exists any possibilities that in future
lyx versions the math mode will be able to support other math environments, I
mean, it is not necessary to support completely other environments, but from
my point of view, at least it would be enough to give the possibility to
enter ERT in order to support other environments but keeping displaying
mathmode of lyx. I am sure that it should not be easy to do this, at least I
do not have any suggestion to do it :-oohhh

Yes, it works, thank you, Herbert,
In order to solve the problem of numbering equations a set of commands
depending on the number of rows of the equation array can be defined as
follows:
\newcommand{\myBoxII}[1]{\hspace{1cm}\hfill%
\fbox{%
\parbox{5cm}{#1}%

\fbox{%
\parbox{5cm}{#1}%
}%
\hfill%
\parbox{0.5cm}{%
\begin{eqnarray} \\ \\ \end{eqnarray}%
}
}
..
but now my question is there exists any way to adjust automatically the
size of the boxes ? It is a little bit painful try to adjust the size by
hand, but if there isn't other solution, ,
Thank you very much for all your help,
Boxing an equation array environment
Hi all lyx-user's ! I would like to know how can I boxed an eqnarray environment. I have used the ams command boxed but it only works with single equations. I have tried with the fancybox package, with the environment Beqnarray, but there are two things that it doesn't satisfy me. First of all, it seems that there is no support to do this at lyx, I mean, I have to type all the environment and the equation too in red to obtain the boxed equation array and I'd like to use the math mode of LyX. And finally, the output result has the equation number inside the box with the Beqnarray, and I would like to have every equation number outside the box, as the ams boxed command do it. BTW there are any possibility that in future versions of lyx the math mode will be able to support other amsmath environments such as align, alignat, ..., ? Best regards and many thanks in advanced for any help

(which libc is it, anyway?) I think so, because I took the sforms libraries from a machine (selena) that it has a libc version 2.1.2.so (simply I copy the xforms libraries from /usr/X11R6 the libforms.a and libforms.so.0.88 and /usr/X11R6/include/forms.h of selena) selena:/home/minerva/oscar#/sbin/ldconfig -v | grep libc- libc.so.6 => libc-2.1.2.so The machine in which I tried to install locally (kepler) the lyx program has libc-2.1.1.so [oscar@kepler lib]$ /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep libc- libc.so.6 => libc-2.1.1.so so, for this, I suppose that if I was able to compile lyx at selena which has libc-2.1.2.so I would be able to compile it at kepler which has libc-2.1.1.so and the copy of libforms.a, libforms.so.0.88, the link and the forms.h from selena > > Oscar> (BTW: the option -with-extra-prefix is able to find the forms.h > Oscar> but it doesn't find the libforms library, i.e., the configure > Oscar> script complaints ) > > This would have worked if forms.h were in $HOME/include. > > Oscar> specialization... yes checking whether the C++ compiler > Oscar> understands explicit... yes checking for broken STL stack > Oscar> template... yes checking whether the included std::string > Oscar> should be used... yes checking for correct namespaces > Oscar> support... no checking for C headers wrappers... no checking > Oscar> for ostream... no checking for istream... no checking for > Oscar> modern STL streams... no > > Did you install libstdc++ (or whatever the package is called in your > distribution)?

I didn't install anything because I am not the root of the system and I don't know what is installed, but if I do rpm -ql libstdc++ I obtain [oscar@kepler lib]$ rpm -ql libstdc++ /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.0 > > JMarc -- Oscar
Problem compiling lyx-1.1.4pre1
Hi!
I am trying to install locally the lyx-1.1.4pre1.tar.gz package at a
linux system:
[oscar@kepler oscar]$ uname -a
Linux kepler.lmm.jussieu.fr 2.2.9-19mdk #1 Wed May 19 19:53:00 GMT 1999
i686 unknown
The system doesn't have install the xforms library so I downloaded it
and I put the following files at $HOME/lib
[oscar@kepler lib]$ ll
total 1255
-rw-r--r-- 1 oscarlmm100368 Dec 21 17:22 forms.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 oscarlmm660600 Dec 21 17:11 libforms.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oscarlmm16 Dec 21 17:15 libforms.so ->
libforms.so.0.88
-rw-r--r-- 1 oscarlmm513218 Dec 21 17:12 libforms.so.0.88
Then I run the ./configure with the options -with-extra-lib and
-with-extra-inc
[oscar@kepler lyx-1.1.4pre1]$ ./configure -with-extra-lib=$HOME/lib
-with-extra-inc=$HOME/lib
(BTW: the option -with-extra-prefix is able to find the forms.h but it
doesn't find the libforms library, i.e., the configure script complaints
)
=
[oscar@kepler lyx-1.1.4pre1]$ ./configure -with-extra-lib=$HOME/lib
-with-extra-inc=$HOME/lib
