Dear Users,

Lyx did not show any eps figures in a freshly installed Fedora 12

unsuccesful. Finally it turned out that ImageMagick was not installed

Dear Users,

Lyx did not show any eps figures in a freshly installed Fedora 12 
system. Running Lyx in a terminal revealed that "convert" was 
unsuccesful. Finally it turned out that ImageMagick was not installed 
for  Lyx although I installed Lyx via yum, which, in principle, installs 
everything necessary. I was so angry, I almost went back to a well-known 
non-free op. system and to its famous word processor. :-)


I hope this helps some of you.

I understand there are good anger management classes available.

This is probably a packaging error on Fedora 12. Have you tried to discover 
and contact the maintainer for this package?
