PDF generation

2006-05-20 Thread Julio Rojas 

Hi, I'm using 1.4.1 under XP. I'm trying to generate a PDF and the following
message is presented with both PDFLATEX and DVIPDFM:

No information for viewing PDF

What could be the problem??? If I generate the DVI everything works fine,
but I need to create the PDF for someone.

Thx for your help...

Apparently, you need to setup the pdf viewer: go to

missing TeX class error

2006-05-20 Thread Hans-Georg Stork 

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade from LyX 1.3.5 over teTeX (works perfectly) on  
Mac OS X 10.4.5 , to LyX 1.4.1


After running the installation script and launching LyX

the command File - New gives the message

The document uses a missing TeX class article ...

and that's it.

In fact there are lots of classes in /usr/local/teTeX/share/ 
texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base ...


but apparently LyX 1.4.1 does not find them (1.3.5 knows them all!!).

The Tools - reconfigure command is to no avail.

What happened?

Thanks for any good advice!

You can use layout-paragraph to open the paragraph layout dialog, then 
type M-n followed by the first letter of the alignment you want.  I have 
not found any way to include the dialog inputs (M-n c etc.) in a key 
binding.

We'll need more details. From what you say, I'm guessing you  
installed teTeX via i-Installer, right? Also, in LyX  Preferences   
Paths, what is the setting for PATH prefix in LyX-1.3.5? in LyX-1.4.1?


(It would be good to have you send the entire preferences files for  
both 1.3.5 and 1.4.1. Perhaps there's a bug in the installation  
script I can discover.)
