Try: make distclean ./configure --disable-threads make add whatever other flags you normally need to the configure script. The disable-threads flag is default on cvs lyx but not on any of the existing releases I think. This should fix your situation. If it doesn't make any difference then we'll need to check what your compiler doesn't like about sigc++ and file a report to the sigc++ developers. Allan. (ARRae)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your response. Perhaps it's because I was
not clear to start with.
We use a pseudo-APA style for references. Sometimes we need to say:
"It has previously been demonstrated that you can do XYZ (St. John 1990)."
But other times it might be preferable to phrase the sentence as:
"You can do XYZ, as previously shown by St. John (1990)."
Notice that in both cases, both the name and the date are produced by the
citation; the only difference is where the opening parenthesis goes. And
that difference is driven by the structure of the sentence, not by the
structure of the document or the bibliographic style. In the second case I
simply can't get away with:
"You can do XYZ, as previously shown by (St. John 1990)."
Thus our LaTeX environment definitions include both \cite and \emcite.
\cite{stjohn:aij} produces the text "(St. John 1990)", and
\emcite{stjohn:aij} produces "St. John (1990)".
So far as I can see, LyX will let us have one or the other from the menu, but
for documents more than a couple of pages long we almost always need both.
It would be nice if LyX supported user-level customization that would let us
add the second to the menu.

page wrapping problem
Hello, I use Lyx to write a document (more or less 40 pages). I included a lot of figures and tables and now I have the problem that on two pages LyX/Latex doesn't make a correct page wrap. That means the text continues until the end of the (physical) page and some lines are even missing before it is continued on the next page normally. On both pages are one figure and one table. I`ve no ideas what the problem may be and also not what I can do to prevent this. The problem exists in DVI/PS/PDF output, so I think the problem must be with Lyx or Latex. Where can I look for the problem? Thanks for any help Andreas
a problem running lyx 1.1.6fix1 inside IceWM/VNC Linux->Win2k

When I try to access it from a Win2000 desktop through VNC with IceWM I get: bash>lyx & flvisual.c[217]: Can't find an appropriate visual I have Mandrake Linux (2.2.15-4mdk). Any solution?

Multiple citation formats.
[Sorry if you already saw this; I sent it about a week ago, but it looks like it bounced.] It would really be nice if user-level customization would let you add additional \cite style commands to the Insert->CitationReference menu. For instance, my research group has LaTeX commands that variously give - (St. John and McClelland 1990) vs. St. John and McClelland (1990), for a citation, depending on which command is used, and we often mix both types in a single paper. Thanks, Bobby Bryant Austin, Texas

in which dir is this package and what does the latex logfile
says (view->latex log in 1.1.6)?

maybe that there are some conflicts with tocloft. try the following
1. with the cursor just before the label for listoffigures
do a layout->paragraph->center and a pagebreak above (it's in the
upper right corner of the popup window).
2. choose more space for the label
\addtolength{\cftfignumwidth}{2.5em}

} sorry, i misunderstood your question:
} in preamble:
} \usepackage{tocloft}
} \let\myNumberline\numberline
}
} just before you insert the listoffigures:
}
} \addtolength{\cftfignumwidth}{2em}
} \renewcommand\numberline[1]{\myNumberline{Figure #1}}
}
} if this is not at the end of your document, than do a
} \let\numberline\myNumberline
} behind the insert command of lof
This is much closer, but it seems to be interfering with something else.
Now my List of Figures is not on a separate page, and the "List of
Figures" heading is not centered. There is also no separation between
the number of the figure and its name in listoffigures. For example, an
entry appears similar to the following:
Figure 6.4IP Multicast Network .. 47
More specifically, it appears that the box for printing the figure number
is overlapping the box for printing the figure title. In some cases,
there is overlap of characters.
I apologize for not knowing LaTeX well enough to clear up these little
details up on my own.
