RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings
I forgot to precise that I used the small installer. I have checked the network one and it works fine. I plan to have miktex on the network for my colleagues anyway so I'll just use this one for now. Question: is it possible to add a kind of config file to the network installer that will specify the network path to Miktex? I know that the perfect solution is to try to teach them but I prefer the path of least resistance and a fully automated, network-base installation process would be perfect ;-) Thanks, Abdel. -Original Message- From: YOUNES Abdelrazak (M3SYSTEM) To: 'Uwe Stöhr '; 'lyx-users@lists.lyx.org ' Cc: YOUNES Abdelrazak (M3SYSTEM) Sent: 11/30/05 9:10 AM Subject: RE: lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings Hello, I have checked my configuration: Latex.exe is in D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin is not in: HKey_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment:Path But it is (once) in: HKey_Users\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1085031214-1580436667-839522115-4110\Envi ronment:Path I guess the reason is that I have installed Miktex for myself only and not for all users.

Not sure, but we seem to be seeing some flaky symptoms from the 1.3.7pre4 installer. If 1.3.6 works for you, presumably you have MinSys installed. Usually the no textclass.lst syndrome is the result of not having a working sh.exe (or not having sed.exe), but if that were the case, you should not be able to install 1.3.6 either. Right, MSIS is there and working. If you want to take another crack at 1.3.7, you might try opening a command window in the ...\Resources\lyx directory of the 1.3.7 installation, and running 'sh configure' there. (If the MinSys bin directory is not on your command path, you'll need to give a full path to sh.exe in the command line.) That should generate textclass.lst, after which you should be able to start 1.3.7pre4. Maybe. That made it indeed. Thanks. So I guess this is an installer bug... Abdel Paul
lyxwininstall 0.4 doesn't detect my M iktex settings
Hello, My Miktex install is very complete so I don't want to download the full package. The path to latex.exe is in the system wide path (D:\program\texmf\miktex\bin), is there anything I could do to tell the installer it's there? Maybe adding a registry key or something? Thanks in advance, Abdel. OT: Is there a chance that a package with lyx 1.4 is done ? I am very much interested in the XML DocBook capability.
WinLyx 1.3.7pre4 install - missing textclass.lst
Hello, I have a problem with the install of lyx 1.3.7pre4 (lyx-1.3.6 is OK). At the install, a popup box says: Failed attempting to execute the configure script. I click on OK and let it launch but then a new box says: Lyx wasn't able to find it's layout descriptions! Check that the file textclass.lst is installed correctly, Sorry, has to exit :-( When I try at the command-line lyx -x reconfigure it gives me the same answer. Thanks, Abdel.

Re: WinLyx 1.3.7pre4 install - missing textclass.lst
One additional information: I have just installed Python 2.4.2. Maybe this is the problem? Anyway, I have re-installed 1.3.6 and overwrite the bin directory with the one from 1.3.7pre4 installation. Seems to work fine... Thanks, Abdel.

Not sure, but we seem to be seeing some flaky symptoms from the 1.3.7pre4 installer. If 1.3.6 works for you, presumably you have MinSys installed.

Windows Lyx-1.3.6: Font problems in headings
Hello, I've tried to google for that but no success, maybe someone could help me here :-). I have some font problems with either dvi, ps, or pdf generated by lyx. With Yap (dvi) there is an error message (see below) and the font for chapters and sections (first level) are replaced by a default font. With GSView, the headings just disappears in (but not in the table of contents). With Pdf, Acrobat just replace the font with helvetica and Foxit will not show the heading. I have multiple document class but the results are with same.
