Thanks to the sharp testing and suggestions of many users, and the quick response of the LyX developers, several bugs in the Aqua implemention of LyX are fixed in the currrent versions of the source and binary distributions: - the Preferences submenu now appears under LyX reliably; - LyX does not crash with the tutorial and navigation menu; - the ^ key works in math mode; - symbols like the integral sign now appear in an appropriate size; - the X11 libraries and includes are not required; - reLyx works correctly in the binary distribution; - the PATH in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is safer; - other smaller fixes.

Re: Message on TeX OS Mac Mailing List
I installed Lyx to take a look at it from the standpoint of a LaTeX user, and found it very interesting. However, the following message was sent to TeX OS Mac Mailing List which you should be aware of: the sender is one of the leading TeX experts: I just discovered that there is now a binary LyX that runs natively on OS X with an Aqua interface without using X11. It was released on July 3. It's a document processor that uses Gerben's teTeX as its typesetting engine. It appears to be free open-source software. I've installed it, but haven't had time yet to explore how it works and what it can do. Installation is standard and very easy aside from the tricky little detail of creating a new .plist file. http://www.lyx.org/ The creation of environment.plist as suggested has nasty security implications, mainly because it influences all GUI apps, not only LyX. I would certainly not use LyX until the path settings requirements were removed from the general GUI-app environment to LyX-specific preferences in ~/Library/Preferences I'm going to be better safe than sorry, so I'd appreciate anyone's help in uninstalling the Lyx files from machine. I use OS 10.2.6. When I try to trash the application and environment.plist I get a message saying that these belong to the root. BTW, I'm the administrator of my machine. Thanks, Jim Lewis

Gerben Wierda (who posted the note to the TeX list) personally does not like setting PATH in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. I have recently modified the PATH in environment.plist to place system bin directories before user-directories like /sw/bin and /usr/local/bin. I believe this creates a safe working environment for LyX and other GUI applications. I recommend that users upgrade their environment.plist file for this reason. The LyX (Aqua) binary package installs a number of files as root, because the installation requires the creation of a /usr/local/bin and additions to /usr/lib. If you want to remove these files, you can either log into the machine as root, or use sudo rm from a terminal. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
Odd problem with listings package ...
Hi All,
Not sure if it is just me ... I reinstalled :) LyX
on Redhat 9 (using the QT interface), and now when
I try to do a dvi update on one of my files I am
given an ERROR message for every place I try to set
a parameter for the listings.sty package. Of course
everything worked perfectly before! I located the
listings package in the right place, ran texhash,
ran configure but still no joy! I wonder if I am
missing something obvious ... the ERROR messages
say something like this (for each parameter in
\lstset{...})
Package keyval Error: showstringspaces undefined.
Where showstringspaces is a parameter for listings. I am puzzled because LyX is not
saying it hasn't found the listings package, but rather something inside the listings
package seems to be missing ... but my system only has one listings package ..
Is there something obvious that I should know?
Thanks

Hi, When you say it cuts off most of the slide do you mean it cuts off roughly the right-most third? If so this is because of the -t a4 option that lyx sticks in when called dvips. Someone has claimed that gs versions from 6.53 onwards don't have this problem but I am unable to test this. (I am running redhat 7.3 and it appears to be almost impossible to upgrade ghostscript on it.) I simply have to export as latex and run dvips manually at the moment :( The upside down problem is caused by lyx sticking -swap in the options for gv. This can be fixed in edit-preferences-file formats-postscript-viewer where it should say gv -swap at the moment. Just change that to gv. Cheers, Raphael P.S.

Odd problem with listings package ...
Hi All,
Not sure if it is just me ... I reinstalled :) LyX
on Redhat 9 (using the QT interface), and now when
I try to do a dvi update on one of my files I am
given an ERROR message for every place I try to set
a parameter for the listings.sty package. Of course
everything worked perfectly before! I located the
listings package in the right place, ran texhash,
ran configure but still no joy! I wonder if I am
missing something obvious ... the ERROR messages
say something like this (for each parameter in
\lstset{...})
Package keyval Error: showstringspaces undefined.
Where showstringspaces is a parameter for listings. I am puzzled because LyX is not
saying it hasn't found the listings package, but rather something inside the listings
package seems to be missing ... but my system only has one listings package ..
Is there something obvious that I should know?

I don't think he meant "primitive" as in "easy to perform". If I

many people will want to perform on their document". That is as opposed

Lyx (MacOSX Aqua) bugfixes
Thanks to the sharp testing and suggestions of many users, and the quick response of the LyX developers, several bugs in the Aqua implemention of LyX are fixed in the currrent versions of the source and binary distributions: - the Preferences submenu now appears under LyX reliably; - LyX does not crash with the tutorial and navigation menu; - the ^ key works in math mode; - symbols like the integral sign now appear in an appropriate size; - the X11 libraries and includes are not required; - reLyx works correctly in the binary distribution; - the PATH in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist is safer; - other smaller fixes.

Thanx for the quick response! I downloaded the listings.cab package from ctan and installed it with the miktex package manager. The package was really missing in my repository folder. Then I restarted and tried again... but still no luck. Any other ideas??

Does your DVI viewer work properly from a command line? 2. Does Edit->Preferences->Conversion->Formats->DVI show the correct program in the Viewer slot? 2a. If yes, does it have the correct path?

RE: slides and landscape
here's an example of the problem i'm having... http://hep-www.colorado.edu/~olivas/LyxExamples/PortraitExample.pdf http://hep-www.colorado.edu/~olivas/LyxExamples/LandscapeExample.pdf i also don't have an edit->preferences->file. i do have an edit->preferences->look,lang opts,conversion,inputs, and outputs. we're probably using different versions? yes, you're using 1.3.2 and i'm using 1.2.3. i still didn't find any reference to gv or swap. thanks, alex -Original Message- From: Raphael Clifford To: Olivas, Alexander Raymond Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: 7/8/2003 2:30 AM Subject: Re: slides and landscape Olivas, Alexander Raymond wrote: >i'm using the slides style in lyx 1.2.3 and would like them >to come out in landscape. when i select Layout->Document->Paper-> >Landscape it cuts off most of the slide and prints it upside down. >is there a better way todo this? >thanks, >alex. > > > > Hi, When you say it cuts off most of the slide do you mean it cuts off roughly the right-most third? If so this is because of the "-t a4" option that lyx sticks in when called dvips. Someone has claimed that gs versions from 6.53 onwards don't have this problem but I am unable to test this. (I am running redhat 7.3 and it appears to be almost impossible to upgrade ghostscript on it.) I simply have to export as latex and run dvips manually at the moment :( The upside down problem is caused by lyx sticking "-swap" in the options for gv. This can be fixed in edit->preferences->file formats->postscript->viewer where it should say "gv -swap" at the moment. Just change that to "gv". Cheers, Raphael P.S. I am using lyx 1.3.2 but seem to have had the same problems.
Re: Odd problem with listings package ...
Hello,
I had a similar problem, and I solved it downloading the latest listings
package (which contains a patch) and overwriting the original files in tex
directories ...
http://www.atscire.de/products/listings/downloads.htm
Hope it helps, and the problem be the same..
Andres.
BTW, I already send this email with the subject confused to the question
of Rafael Maguin~na about View-dvi :(

Re: Re: Odd problem with listings package ...
Hi Andres,
Yes, you just beat me to it! I downloaded the
latest version of listings and things worked
fine! The problem is with the Tex installation
that comes with the Redhat Linux 9 CD's! They
are not up to date!
Thanks!
Goffredo
