Maybe you should then go to the /opt/lyx-1.1.6fix4/ dir and enter: src/lyx The current directory matters, i think. succes, Wilbert -- Wilbert Berendsen (http://www.xs4all.nl/~wbsoft/)

The problem may be that there are spaces in the filename of your
document or in the full path to it.
E.g. /home/you/My Documents/Lyx Docs/mydoc.lyx will cause problems
when running LaTeX, because LaTeX doesn't like spaces in pathnames :(
succes!

That looks like a working solution! But I managed to solve the problem already, and, FYI, this is what I did: I removed these lines from /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps: @ letter 8.5in 11in @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Letter @+ letter @+ %%EndPaperSize @ legal 8.5in 14in @+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: Legal @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Legal @+ legal @+ %%EndPaperSize @ ledger 17in 11in @+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: Ledger @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Ledger @+ ledger @+ %%EndPaperSize @ tabloid 11in 17in @+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: Tabloid @+ %%BeginPaperSize: Tabloid @+ 11x17 @+ %%EndPaperSize @ a4 210mm 297mm @+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: a4 @+ %%BeginPaperSize: a4 @+ a4 @+ %%EndPaperSize @ a3 297mm 420mm @+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: a3 @+ %%BeginPaperSize: a3 @+ a3 @+ %%EndPaperSize Now dvips warns 'no match for a4', but things work fine now! Thanks, Wilbert.
About the CUPS problem...
Hi, I read from the manpage of dvips: -t papertype This sets the paper type to papertype. The paper- type should be defined in one of the configuration files, along with the appropriate code to select it. (Currently known types include letter, legal, (...) Note that executing the letter or a4 or other PostScript operators cause the document to be nonconforming and can cause it not to print on cer- tain printers, so the paper size should not execute such an operator if at all possible. So this is why CUPS (with its customized gs interp inside) does not like the `-t a4' used by LyX to call dvips. Now, I've another question: The CUPS lpr command has many many options, (like selecting pages, rotation, etc.). How do I configure lyx to use `lpr' as the printcommand (not just spoolcommand) instead of dvips? Can I tell LyX to convert to ps first (using dvips as the converter) and then call lpr with all the appropriate options?

CUPS doesn't seem to like dvips output.
Hi, I have a (not really lyx) problem. When I export a LyX file as ps, then lpr that file: lpr file.ps (or directly print from within LyX, which I managed to configure with CUPS) CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) does nothing. However, other PS files created by other applications are printed without problem. Also, sometimes LyX _does_ print fine. But not always. Anybody a hint?

Put:
\date{}
in the LaTeX preamble (Layout-->LaTeX Preamble).
Or, just type it in your document, just before the title, in LateX mode
(red). Set LaTeX mode from the pull-down menu, or by hitting Ctrl-L.

I have had the same problem with older lyx version. This was my solution:
--> Don't use directory names containing spaces. I think LyX quotes them
not right when calling LateX. (a bug, ihmo)

Compiled 1.1.6pre3, seems to work, but BIG!
Hi * I just compiled 1.1.6pre3 w. xforms, is seems to work, but the executable is so big: --- nutnix:~ # dir /usr/local/bin/lyx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46771689 Jan 7 21:27 /usr/local/bin/lyx --- 46M! is this normal? Greetings, Wilbert PS: there went something wrong with `listerrors', perhaps has to do with it? This is a log: --- make[2]: Entering directory `/home/wilbert/src/lyx-1.1.6pre3/lib' ./build-listerrors . Textclass error The document uses an unknown textclass "literate-article". LyX will not be able to produce output correctly. About to handle -x 'buffer-export literate' Can not export file No information for exporting to NoWeb We are done! ---
console postscript viewer
Hi *, I know that this isn't really a lyx question, but i like further processing my converted LaTeX docs from the console. But I can't get GhostScript (with libvga and x11 support) to work on the console (also not as root). Does anybody know about a good Postscript viewer that can be run from the console? (I tried PSV, but i can't get framebuffer/ggi to work on my old S3) Thanks, Wilbert

I think I found the solution:
Latex won't accept filename paths containing spaces !! :mad:
I renamed my dirs to be more elegant (with spaces) and since then I had
the problems.
Well. This should be improved in latex, or lyx should call latex with
relative paths.
thanks anyway

Lots of LaTeX errors...
Hi, everybody,
I'm new to the list. I've a strange problem. Suddenly I can't print/export
anymore, because there are many errors during the run, in documents that
always were ok.
All errors say something like:
LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
\begin{document}
You're in trouble here. (...)
Anybody a hint? I use the LyX and LaTeX that comes with SuSE7.0
meanwhile i'll try to reinstall and reconfigure those packages.
thanks,
Wilbert
