LyX not rendering graphics
Since more than a year I have watched the list and the discussion concerning the problem that LyX renders graphics only sporadically on fast computers - I still have the problem and tried the sporadic tips to solve the problem - without success for SuSE 7.3 and SuSE 8.0. I have tried to update from 1.1.6 to 1.2.1, but was unable to compile the sources - because of the cc1plus error. Now I have succeeded in part and feel that there might be somebody out there knowing the ultimate solution. Here is what I did: When I asked to check the dependencies, the output was: # rpm -Uvh lyx-1.2.1-1rh8-xforms089.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: tetex-xdvi is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 tetex-latex is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 libstdc++.so.5 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(Cwd) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(File::Basename) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(FileHandle) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(lib) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(strict) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(vars) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 So I installed 1.2.1 from the binary rpm using --nodeps and supplied both libstdc++.so.5.0.0 and libgcc_s.so.1 in /usr/lib (moreover, a symbolic link to libstdc++.so.5 was generated and ldconfig was run). Now LyX 1.2.1 works fine (even xdvi and PDF output), but I do not even see graphics sporadically any more. Instead I get an error message in each graphics box telling me that the conversion into a display format failed. In fact, the message is in German and reads Fehler bei der Konvertierung in ein darstellbares Format Norbert -- Dr. Norbert StribeckUniversity of Hamburgvoice +49-40-42838-3615 - polymer physicist -Institute TMCfax +49-40-42838-6008 http://www.chemie.uni-hamburg.de/tmc/stribeck http://www.stribeck.de
LyX not rendering graphics
I sent a request for help some minutes ago --- the problem is solved! I had to disable my ~/.lyx directory, and now it works and I see all the graphics displayed. My beloved keybinding files blocked both the rendering of graphics and the possibility to input keystrokes from the keyboard.

Re: LyX not rendering graphics
I had a similar problem, but I was under RH 7.0: graphics would *never* show up under Lyx 1.2.1. This weekend I got pissed about it and after a while I came to the idea of reinstalling ImageMagick, uploading from 5.3.3. to 5.5.*. It worked... seems that convert was failing before. In any case there is room for improvement in the way images are handled now, because the text jumps to the beginning when a new image is rendered, and the conversion process takes a long time in a document with several of them. Maybe the procedures should be reviewed somehow.. jb Since more than a year I have watched the list and the discussion concerning the problem that LyX renders graphics only sporadically on fast computers - I still have the problem and tried the sporadic tips to solve the problem - without success for SuSE 7.3 and SuSE 8.0.

LyX not rendering graphics
Since more than a year I have watched the list and the discussion concerning the problem that LyX renders graphics only sporadically on fast computers - I still have the problem and tried the sporadic tips to solve the problem - without success for SuSE 7.3 and SuSE 8.0. I have tried to update from 1.1.6 to 1.2.1, but was unable to compile the sources - because of the cc1plus error. Now I have succeeded in part and feel that there might be somebody out there knowing the ultimate solution. Here is what I did: When I asked to check the dependencies, the output was: # rpm -Uvh lyx-1.2.1-1rh8-xforms089.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: tetex-xdvi is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 tetex-latex is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 libstdc++.so.5 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(Cwd) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(File::Basename) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(FileHandle) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(lib) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(strict) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 perl(vars) is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1 So I installed 1.2.1 from the binary rpm using --nodeps and supplied both libstdc++.so.5.0.0 and libgcc_s.so.1 in /usr/lib (moreover, a symbolic link to libstdc++.so.5 was generated and ldconfig was run). Now LyX 1.2.1 works fine (even xdvi and PDF output), but I do not even see graphics sporadically any more.

LyX not rendering graphics
I sent a request for help some minutes ago --- the problem is solved! I had to disable my ~/.lyx directory, and now it works and I see all the graphics displayed. My beloved keybinding files blocked both the rendering of graphics and the possibility to input keystrokes from the keyboard.

I'm in a similar (sinking) boat. In previous versions of LyX, the
graphics would almost always render. At most, I would just have to
restart LyX and rendering would work again. Now that I've installed
1.2.1 for RH 8.0 and using xforms 0.89 (after upgrading to RH 8.0),
rendering just does NOT work at all. (Not quite true - it doesn't work
on eps files created by R.) This is on three Intel PCs all running RH
8.0 (one is a laptop, the other two are desktop systems). I can't be
sure the problem doesn't have something to do with Redhat 8.0. Or it may
be that all the eps files I'm creating come from R (they used to render
OK and they are eps files.) But I cannot fix it and have seen NOTHING on
the list that has helped. Someone did suggest turning on debuggind ("lyx
-dbg graphics" or "lyx -dbg any") but that just tells me the conversion
doesn't work - even though all the software needed for the conversion is
readily available on all three systems - I can do it manually - and if
the conversion wasn't in the preferences I added it. LyX installed
differently on each system. On at least one I had to even get it to just
view in PS and PDF. Viewing in HTML gives a screwy message about the
file name having more than one period and that dvips can't handle it. I
have to rename the file so there is only one period. Fortunately I guess
I can live without rendering in LyX just so long as it prints and views OK.
Just for your information, I always use "rpm -U --test" before actually
installing the binary. rpm never reported any problem either in test
mode or when I actually installed the software. There were no conflicts
and it didn't complain about any missing software - LyX installed (as it
had in the past) without any error messages or warnings. Everything
seems to work except for rendering (and viewing on one system) out of
the box.
At least for me, the rendering error message is in English. I miss the
days when I could just install a new version of LyX and continue doing
actual work.
If anyone can explain how to fix this I would certainly appreciate it.

Re: LyX not rendering graphics
I had a similar problem, but I was under RH 7.0: graphics would
*never* show up under Lyx 1.2.1.
This weekend I got pissed about it and after a while I came to the
idea of reinstalling ImageMagick, uploading from 5.3.3. to 5.5.*.
It worked... seems that "convert" was failing before.
In any case there is room for improvement in the way images are
handled now, because the text jumps to the beginning when a new
image is rendered, and the conversion process takes a long time
in a document with several of them. Maybe the procedures should be
reviewed somehow..
