Hopefully in two years everyone's distribution will be fixed and this issue won't arise. Sorry for being not clear enough. Hopefully now better: - I agree that it is not a LyX fault. - I agree that it is a problem of the SuSE distribution (in this case). - I suggest to add a small text notice within the INSTALL or within the configure-produced warning that xforms is not working like the following: "This xforms problem might be due to missing Linux kernel header files" Thanks, Frank

Hi! I use section* for some of my headings. The document shows no numbers, but in the fancyheader are leading numbers displayed. I use \sectionmark for shorter text in the fancyheader. How can I remove the numbers in the fancyheader? Regards Chris

Two cases are possible: - you have not installed the kernel sources. The you should install them or at least the kernel-headers package (or whatever it is called in your distribution). - you have the sources, but you did a 'make mrproper' in the kernel directory (this this removes some symbolic links that are needed for compilation). A 'make symlinks' in linux kernel sources fixes that. What more can we do?? JMarc

on widgets
Hi! The LyX menu fonts are quite large on my installation, so I tried to configure them in my .Xresources file, but I am unable to get the names of the widgets right. Even doing *font: 8x13 or something does not change the LyX menu fonts, although most other programs are changed. I tried to get the widget tree with editres, but LyX does not answer to it. Does anyone know how to get the information about LyX's widget tree, or how to set the menu fonts explicitly? Thanks for any hint, j. b. oliveira

- It's impossible to use both Tabular Layout/Column/Row/Width and

The problem is the code generated by the LyX (i.e. this is a bug!)
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|p{2cm}|}
...
\raggedleft fd gf ggf\\
The \raggedleft command redefines the \\ command, and therefore the end of
the row is misinterpreted.
The problem appears only when you have a constant width column at the last
row, and you use left/right/center alignment in one of the cells.
It shouldn't be hard to fix the bug (lyx should add a parbox in such cases).
A temporary solution is to add a dummy column row to the table (see attached
file).

Thank you! Now I can set both alignment and column width, it doesn't give Latex errors and it even gives the right WYSIWYM output in to the LyX screen. However, the created postscript is wrong! The alignment is ok, but the column is too wide, as I would have deleted completely the "width" field. If you use the special column-alignment field, then you override the column alignment set by LyX, so instead of having a constant width column, you get a normal centered (for example) column. However LyX still shows the column as a constant width column as it doesn't parse the alignment field.

Every now and then I have to deal with this porblem, too. The way I solve it
(don't laugh :-):
Close the document in LyX.
Open the document with an editor (like emacs or - if you are a tough guy - vi)
Don't change anything but save the document.
Close the document in your editor.
Reopen the document with LyX.
Don't ask me why but then the problem disappears...

Re: 1.1.6fix1 on SuSE6.3 ?
On Wed, 14 Mar 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, can you tell me how to compile the 1.1.6fix1 on a SuSE6.3 system? Couldn't run the configure-script (Cannot find forms.h Although I helped the script find it with the --with-extra flags). What source of xforms and libXpm is best? I managed to _compile_ it on SuSE 6.3 ok, but I have not yet installed or tested the new version -- have to finish some writings first with the old one. From your error message it seems you do not have the xforms development package (xformsd) installed -- that is you must install both xforms and xformsd packages. If you have the full SuSE CD-set, the package is there. If you made the installation from the single CD evaluation version you must get the xformsd package from a Suse ftp-site. For libXpm I used the package (xpm) that came with the distro. No problems there. Compiler may be a problem. The gcc delivered with Suse 6.3 is too old, so I had to use egcs (again the version that came with distro seems to work). And if I remember right the package gpp must also be installed. Both these are found from the Suse series d if you use Yast to install stuff. I think one of these conflicts with something that is required by the gcc package, though I am no sure of this. For sources I used the source RPM from Kayvan A. Sylvan's ftp site, which seems to work fine. I did only minor editing on the spec file to change the names of required packages: the (la)tex packages on Redhat (on which the source RPM has been built) and Suse have different names, but this editing is only necessary to keep the rpm system happy, it does not effect the functionality of lyx. e.airo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/1122/ "Erkon puheita on mukava kuunnella vaikkei niist aina mitn tolkkua saakaan."

Thank you.
When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.

One difference between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 is that the latter always use babel,

bad characters in labels?
I used a label "t=bda" in an equation, but it produced (??) instead of the equation number in the output. I guess Latex doesn't accept the "=" character in labels. Shouldn't LyX check that the label's doesn't have illegal characters?

Hello, I would like to thank all the LyX's team for this great software ! Having said that, i find that this software would gain to be more complete at the level of the displaying (AMS symbols, character over other one, ...). As regards the quality of the displaying on the screen, is it planned to move closer LyX to a software as scientific word ?

- It's impossible to use both Tabular Layout/Column/Row/Width and
H. Alignment.
- I can set the Paragraph Layout/General/Alignment but this gives LaTeX
errors.
The problem is the code generated by the LyX (i.e. this is a bug!)
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|p{2cm}|}
...
\raggedleft fd gf ggf\\
The \raggedleft command redefines the \\ command, and therefore the end of
the row is misinterpreted.
The problem appears only when you have a constant width column at the last
row, and you use left/right/center alignment in one of the cells.
It shouldn't be hard to fix the bug (lyx should add a parbox in such cases).
A temporary solution is to add a dummy column row to the table (see attached
file).

Thank you! Now I can set both alignment and column width, it doesn't give Latex errors and it even gives the right WYSIWYM output in to the LyX screen. However, the created postscript is wrong! The alignment is ok, but the column is too wide, as I would have deleted completely the "width" field. If you use the special column-alignment field, then you override the column alignment set by LyX, so instead of having a constant width column, you get a normal centered (for example) column. However LyX still shows the column as a constant width column as it doesn't parse the alignment field.

Every now and then I have to deal with this porblem, too. The way I solve it
(don't laugh :-):
Close the document in LyX.
Open the document with an editor (like emacs or - if you are a tough guy - vi)
Don't change anything but save the document.
Close the document in your editor.
Reopen the document with LyX.
Don't ask me why but then the problem disappears...

Re: 1.1.6fix1 on SuSE6.3 ?

Couldn't run the configure-script (Cannot find forms.h Although I helped the script find it with the --with-extra flags). What source of xforms and libXpm is best? I managed to _compile_ it on SuSE 6.3 ok, but I have not yet installed or tested the new version -- have to finish some writings first with the old one. From your error message it seems you do not have the xforms development package (xformsd) installed -- that is you must install both xforms and xformsd packages. If you have the full SuSE CD-set, the package is there. If you made the installation from the single CD evaluation version you must get the xformsd package from a Suse ftp-site. For libXpm I used the package (xpm) that came with the distro. No problems there. Compiler may be a problem. The gcc delivered with Suse 6.3 is too old, so I had to use egcs (again the version that came with distro seems to work). And if I remember right the package gpp must also be installed. Both these are found from the Suse series d if you use Yast to install stuff. I think one of these conflicts with something that is required by the gcc package, though I am no sure of this. For sources I used the source RPM from Kayvan A. Sylvan's ftp site, which seems to work fine. I did only minor editing on the spec file to change the names of required packages: the (la)tex packages on Redhat (on which the source RPM has been built) and Suse have different names, but this editing is only necessary to keep the rpm system happy, it does not effect the functionality of lyx. e.airo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/1122/ "Erkon puheita on mukava kuunnella vaikkei niist aina mitn tolkkua saakaan."

Thank you.
When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.

Since xforms is not Xt based, there is no widget tree and nothing is settable via resources. The only thing you can change for menus is the font itself, but not the font size. Sorry. JMarc

Another option (more safe as \setcommand is not used) is to put the following lines in your preamble (or before the LyX math-macro definition): \let\Re=\undefined \let\Im=\undefined It will undefine the \Re and \Im commands if they are already defined.

We should not help people to shoot themselves in the foot. JMarc
