In fact, I just made a lyxgdb RPM for lyx-1.1.4-fix2 It contains a ``lyxgdb'' binary which is lyx-1.1.4-fix2 binary with all the debugging symbols. The basic idea being that if you get a crashing bug in lyx-1.1.4-fix2 and can reproduce it, you can just install this lyxgdb RPM, try and reproduce the problem and send back a useful bug report. > Sorry to keep you running around in circles.

Since I don't know any newsgroups, what would be the advantage of it to

Hello lyx-users, I will install Lyx 1.1.4 on my Suse Linux 6.3, but when i try "./configure" i get always the same error message. Error: "Can't find libxforms.so..." and "Forms.h" But i have installed xforms 0.88 and i tried it again after i have installed xforms 0.89.glibc and it doesn't configure Lyx 1.1.4.

Figure labeling - format question
Hi... I've just noticed something that has apparently been this way for some time, but now that I've noticed it bothers me. :) I have several documents, just for personal and informal use, that use the "report (koma-script)" style. In the printed output, the captions of figures and tables read, "Figure 1.1.: Blah..." Notice the ".:", which looks odd to me. (Is it a standard, somewhere?) Was this layout designed that way intentionally, or is something wrong here? More to my immediate benefit, how may I change this behavior? I know little of TeX except what I've picked up from this list, but I expect there's one little line I could put in the preamble or near the top of the document(s) to solve this... at least I hope so. :) (LyX says it is "Version 1.1.4 of Thu, Feb 3, 2000", which I compiled here from a SRPM. I don't have info on "scrrept.sty", but its header says, "Copyright 1994-1997 Markus Kohm and Frank Neukam.")

Personally I would much prefer that the newsgroup be moderated.
Of the newsgroups that I subscribe to comp.compilers is the only
one that is moderated. As a result I can process it daily
without reading a lot of material that I tend to think should not
have been posted in the first place. In that newsgroup the moderator
will often answer questions directly if he knows the answer
right away and avoid having them being posted.
As a result of this experience I MUCH prefer moderated usergroups.
Of course this would require a fair amount of work by the moderator.
Unfortunately I lack both the experience with Lyx and the necessary
time to be the moderator. Perhaps the position of moderator
can be rotated amoung a number of "experts".

So there are at least three of us ;-)
I just had a look at news.admin.misc and found a message under
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
("How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup")
that explains the process of creating a newsgroup quite nicely.
But it looks like there was a bit of work involved so I guess
someone has to do it...
I'd vote for an unmoderated group 'comp.text.lyx'.

Using another language...
Greets, Well, the tiem has come when I finally have a very serious application of the whole LyX/LaTeX software, and I have come upon two problems. The first problem is as follows: When I insert a table of contents, it works just fine, except for the fact that it is written in english... is there a way to translate the "Contents" string or change it in some way? How is it done? Another thing is that I have a table inserted in my document, however, I cannot make lines within a document to break, I cant insert breaks in lines in table cells... and this makes my table run out of the screen and paper... Is there a way to remedy this as well? Thanx! D

Maybe another way (I have not used it for ages):
There is a package called psfrac(?) (or something similar)
You need to put some unique text somewhere in your xfig picture
(like 'a_over_b'), and have to define some replacement afterwards
- something like \replace{a_over_b}{$\frac{a}{b}$}, this syntax is
probably wrong, but you get the idea ;-).
So LyX is able to show at least the 'drawing part' of your eps.

Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig.
A bit cumbersome, but efficient:
- create a LyX document for each math insert in xfig, say foo.lyx
- export as LateX -> foo.tex
- compile and produce an eps image -> foo.eps (option -E of dvips)
- insert in xfig
Be sure to have a \pagestyle{empty} if you want an eps of the right size.
Here is an example in foo.tex (one step back for foo.lyx):
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{H}_\infty$
\end{document}
then
latex foo;dvips -E -o foo.eps foo
When you use it often, you will be happy to build a bank of formulas.
You might probably use the customize command of LyX to implement it.

Bad form to follow-up on my own query, but the complete eurosym package, available at CTAN sites, includes the metafont specs, tfm files, and .sty sheet to allow the use of the euro symbol with any font.

1.1.4fix1 crashes
Just to add to what I have seen really, that I was happily typing away in lyx when it crashes quite spectacularly before my eyes for no apparent reason. I was just doing a series of back deletes at the time. My work was lost: it was a new document. It was just a letter, but I can't afford to loose my work. I am afraid I am going to have downgrade back to 1.0.4 till its fixed. :-( I would be happy to run it in debug mode or whatever if that will help with diagnosis, if someone can provide me with an idiots guide/howto.

Re: xfig figure with formula
>Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
this was the problem, now with this it works, thanks for your help.
The disadvantage is, that I cannot see the figure anymore on the screen.
This is the thing I like most with LyX compared to other LaTeX editors.
Is there any other solution, where I can see the figures on the screen?
Thanks,
Torsten
Re: xfig figure with formula
* is there a special directory, where they should be?
It is easier if both your figures (pstex and pstex_t) are in the same directory
as the lyx file (since, as far as I understand, the pstex_t includes the path
for the pstex).
* 2. ->insert->file
*I have given filename.pstex_t
*It does not display anything in xdvi.
I am just a novice lyx user, so forgive me if I cannot answer your needs:
Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
Insert float/Figure
and inside the figure red box, try
Insert/Include File (input checked)
It works at least for me.
Since a picture is worth a 1000 words, a sample file is included.
If it doesn't work for you, I can't help.

Maybe my explanation was not very clear: I have produced a figure with xfig 3.1 and called xfig with -specialtext flag. Then I have tried two things: 1. ->insert->figure encapsulated postscript I have given filename.pstex_t Nothing is displayed on the screen and in xdvi When I take filename.pstex then I can see the figure, but the LaTeX code is not translated. It is only the information in the eps file. 2. ->insert->file I have given filename.pstex_t It does not display anything in xdvi. Thanks, Torsten
euro symbol

Hmmm. I fetched the eurosym.sty package from a TeX archive, installed
it in a teTeX directory, did texhash, put \usepackage{eurosym} in the
preface and \euro{} in the text in TeX mode ... and I get errors about
missing fonts. What else do I need to use the euro symbol in the text
of a LyX document?
Thanks,

Hallo, At least, it works fine with lyx 1.0.4, when I input the figure (use Insert/Include File and check the input box) inside a figure float. There may be problems when the special text flag in Xfig is not set, or when a formula misses a $. Futhermore, figures should be in the proper directory. I don't know if it really can help you, I don't understand what you exactly tried. If you succeed in figure centering, I'd be glad to know how.

A solution is to have a « compose » key on your keyboard. If you don't
have one, you can emulate one with the command I use : before running
LyX (p.ex. when starting X), type the following one :
xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Multi_key"
(with the quotes). It make your Windows « menu » key (which is not very
usefull under Linux) to act like the « control » one (is name is «
Multi_key » too).
After that, you can use the following combinaison to have characters :
Compose ; s ; s -> ß
Compose ; < ; < -> «
Compose ; > ; > -> »
Compose ; c ; , -> ç (for the French use)
and so on...

Lyx and german special characters
Hi, I'm working since four weeks with lyx. In this time I have not found out, how to get easily a german "ß" in the postscript. The only way it works, is to write \ss\ in Latex-style. But this is not very comfortable.

Forcing simplex printing
Hi all. I'll be submitting my thesis soon. The university requires that the thesis be printed on one side only, but (poor me) all the printers I have access to are duplex by default. I don't want to manually change the settings on the printer. Is there a way to force LyX to generate postscript documents that print on one side only? Thanks.
