"Undefined control sequence" after first installation
Hi Lyx Team and Users.
After i install LyX with the LyX-156-3-25-AltInstalle and upgrade the german
language pack with the aspell6-el-0.50-3.exe i could not export my lyx
document. I try it with a realy simple text like "hello world" and get the
following error messages.
"Undefined control sequence" - "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
"Latex Error: Missing \begin{document}" - "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
"Undefined control sequence" - "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
thats the code:

\begin{document}
hello world
\end{document}
In LyX and document preferences, i choose the german language.
I hope anyone could help me to find out the error.
Thx a lot, Georg

Re: Labelling equations
I sorry, but I don't understand your answer completely. I want to give my equations numbers, i.e. from (1.1), (1.2),.to (3.3.) f. ex.. Is that the purpose of the label function? If not, what function doe that? To the first part of your answer. The equations I want to label are centered and stand alone in their row. I centered them after writing them by using the "paragraph settings". To your answer Bob: I am using a mac book with Mach OS X version 10.5.3.The version of LyX I am using is LyX/Mac 1.5.5. Thank you again very much for your help.

I understand now. You're just not using the program correctly :-}. Math equations are not adjusted with 'paragraph settings'. There are two types of equations in LyX: Inline and Display. Inline is an equation that is inline with text and Display is an equation centered on its own line. To access the two types use: Insert->Math->Inline Formula or Display Formula. Alternatively, you can use Command->M for Inline formula and Command+shift->M for Display formula on MacOSX. You may also want to take some time to read through some of the documentation available in the Help menu. For instance: Help->User's Guide Chapter 5 or Help->Math. These issues are explained there. Cheers, /Bob

This is why the Label button is grayed out because you've inserted Inline formula not Display formula. Cheers, /Bob
Re: Labelling equations
Ok, now it works perfectly! Thanks you two. Its so much text to read in this help guides...

Re: Labelling equations
Christopher Stowasser wrote: Ok, now it works perfectly! Thanks you two. Its so much text to read in this help guides... Yes, true. People---especially Uwe---have put a lot of work into those guides. Much of what's in them you probably don't need to know, so I usually recommend that people read the Tutorial fairly closely, and then read the User's Guide quickly, just skimming parts that don't really interest them. The other manuals contain tons of useful information---but not for everyone, since they're more specialized. I've never read the Embedded Objects manual, for example, since it basically doesn't apply to me. Remember too that you can use the Navigate menu, or open the Outline, to see a table of contents and decide what you might want to read. Oh, and that you can View>PDF and then print the manuals so you don't have to read them at your computer. rh

What exactly have you done? You haven't had LyX 1.5 installed before?
If you had LyX 1.5 installed before, have you used the update installer?
What do you mean by "upgrade the german language pack with the
aspell6-el-0.50-3.exe"?
"el" is for Greek and not German.
I try it with a realy simple text like "hello world" and get the
following error messages.

This sounds like a problem of the babel configuration.
Please try this:
- open a command console
- execute the command
initexmf --dump
- restart LyX
Then it should work (this was a bug of MiKTeX). If not, please update your MiKTeX installation again
using MiKTeX's update program.

Re: Using minitoc in Lyx?
> this is my first topic here, so I hope I do it correctly :-) You found the right place. > I am trying to use the minitoc package with a lyx document, and I have > failed to do it! It seams, that the minitoc-files remain empty! Minitoc work fine with LyX. I now set up a new wiki page that describes how minitoc is used with LyX: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Minitoc Please add there further informations about special issues or minitoc options people should know. I hope minitoc now works for you. If not, complain. regards Uwe
beamer in Lyx
Hi, I am trying to use beamer in lyx. I installed beamer and pgf using miktex and reconfigured lyx. However, when I try to create a pdf I get the message "Latex Error: File 'pgf.sty' not found." What should I do? Thanks.

However, when I try to create a pdf I get the message "Latex Error: File 'pgf.sty' not found." What should I do? Open a DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich pgf.sty'. It should return the path to the file (usually \tex\latex\pgf\basiclayer\pgf.sty). If not, try clicking "Refresh FNDB" in MiKTeX's Settings application, then check again. If it still does not find pgf.sty, try reinstalling the PGF package. (You should not need to reinstall Beamer.) /Paul
