newbie's request: installing hollywood.cls

If the log file's not there, or if it contains an error message, it gives you a clue what's up. If the log file is there, scroll to the bottom and see if it says that it wrote a .dvi file.

So I'm wondering if you and/or Rafael are running into some kind of problem where the viewer is being passed the file name but not the path to the temp directory. There's probably a smarter way to figure that out, but my inclination would be to write a batch file that just echos its command parameters to the screen, and substitute that batch file (and the path to it) for the path to Yap in Edit-Preferences-Conversion-Formats-DVI. Then try viewing a test file, and see if the batch file is passed an accurate path to the temp directory. -- Paul The log-file wasn't there. The test.tex file is written, the path is also alright - yap looks for the temp dvi file in the right place, but then, there is just the tex file, the dvi file is missing. So, i guess it is a latex problem, because the *.tex file is not converted to *.dvi... I couldn't go farther than that, but then... I'm just a newby at latex/lyx.

View - dvi doesn't work
Hi, I've just installed the Ruurd Reitsma's windows port for lyx (qt). It worked fine until I tried to view what I was writing... file not found... is all I got. I've had already installed MiKTeX before installing lyx... (but not in the default directories though). I've got Win98 SE on my machine. Has anyone some clues about what I might be missing here?
