Re: Is uninstalling required ?
Hello
I 've written
Conversely, sh -c latex file.tex runs, as the command is search inside
the string itself.
Although this is true, it is not the reason why lyx didn't compile my
imported LaTeX. First, I relied on the ps command in trying to figure
out what was happening. But ps does not show the double quotes (if any)
when displaying processes, I see. So I said but didn't know.
I could at last compile some imported LaTeX, when commenting out
\pagestyle{fancy} If uncommented, lyx freezes when making a dvi.
I suppose that pagestyle makes no sense in lyx ?

Hello Richard and all Lyx users, Richard Heck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anybody know what's going wrong here ? No, I'm not sure. I haven't seen this problem before. But if latexdoc.tex exists, then latex should simply compile it when invoked in that way. So it sounds as if there's a problem there on your system. My sytems might as well be broken; as they are both Slackware (11 and 10 ;-). In both cases trying to make a dvi whenever the file contains a Tex import freezes Lyx, although the dvi might get done in some case. man sh (bash in fact) says -c string If the -c option is present, then commands are read from string. If there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0. As far as I know, $0 is the name of the program itself (more accurately the name the program knows itself by). According to that, typing sh -c latex file.tex can only result in a mess. Conversely, sh -c latex file.tex runs, as the command is search inside the string itself. On a Mandriva, sh behaves the same way : sh -c find -name toto runs a quite different way from this sh -c find -name toto So what about me posting this on the developper list ? Best regards -- Hervé

Is uninstalling required ?
Hi there, I'm new again in LyX, currently 1.5.1 under Linux. I've been trying using it years ago, but I gave up because of difficulties in maintaining documents, especially when formulas had to be edited, as far as I can remember. Importing to and from LaTeX was quite poor, too. I've tried again : I just wanted to import a simple page and... It'been a long time since I hadn't seen a frozen app ;-) Let's say I'd better upgrade before trying again. So, my point : if I compile Lyx, should I type make uninstall in Lyx-1.5.1 before make install in 1.5.2, or just make install in the most recent source tree ? Regards -- herve

LyX-1.5.2 can't compile tex files, either. It hooks in an endless waiting, as it forks(?) to run sh -c latex 'latexdoc.tex' When typed in a shell, sh -c makes latex to ask for the filename, so noone can reply anything here...
