Hi Roberto, > I read on the list that I should download the dictionary files of > Aspell6 form th LyX wiki page ( http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 ), > but the english dictionary link seems to link to no file... Have you tried to install the package manually? Just invoke the package setup and try to install it for a single user (LyX as well; if you have installed it for all users, just install the single user version over the old one, and only the LyX component, of course). After installing the English dictionary check if it is installed in the directory Documents Settings\ \Application Data. It should be. Before reinstalling, remove every former Aspell installation. Hope that helps. BTW ftp.lyx.org is dead this morning. Hopefully you still have the dictionary. I must admit that using LyX under Linux or Unix is *much* more fun than on Windows, although the LyX-package is very good.

Aspell english dictionary install
Hi all, I'm new at this list (and as a LyX user, by the way), so please bear with me. I understand that this problem has already been discussed at this list. Nevertheless, I was not able to understand how to solve it by reading the previous messages. So, during my install of LyX (onto Win XP SP2), the english dictionary could not be downloaded and was not installed. When I try to run the spellchecker (Aspell), if the document is in english, I get an error message saying that no en_us dictionary could be found. Other dictionaries were installed and, if documents are set for the corresponding languages, the spellchecker is able to run. I read on the list that I should download the dictionary files of Aspell6 form th LyX wiki page ( http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 ), but the english dictionary link seems to link to no file... What should I do? Thank you! Roberto -- Roberto Gorjão freelance designer and web designer personal site: www.castelosnoar.com PORTUGAL / BRAGA / PÓVOA DE LANHOSO
Using \include in ERT : How do I specify a path?
I have a table in plain LaTex that I would like to
inclulde in a LyX document.
Using ERT
\include{filename}
works fine when I have the file in the same folder.
I don't seem to see how to specify something like
C:\food\table1.tex in either LaTeX or LyX. It must be
obvious but I just don't see it.
Thanks

The first two DOS-Windows are opened by MiKTeX - the LaTeX-distribution that is installed with the complete installer. They should only stay for some seconds and then be closed automatically. When the installer shows you the message that "The following configuration of LyX will take a while" then a Console window pops up showing you the effort of the configuration. When you have an open internet connection, missing LaTeX-packages needed by LyX will be downloaded and installed what can take some Minutes, depending on your Internet connection speed. The console window shows you what LaTeX-package is currently installed to inform you about the progress. To get a clean installation, uninstall LyX completely will all progtrams that the unistaller offers to uninstall. Reinstall LyX afterwards (with an open internet connection if possible). When you had already MiKTeX installed before you installed LyX and it was version MiKTeX 2.4., uninstall also MiKTeX before you reinstall LyX. When you still have problems, report me at which position in the console window the installation fails or stops (screenshot of the console window would be fine). regards Uwe
Lyx problems in importing txt2tags .tex files
Hello,
I'm using txt2tags 2.3 for windows, and LyX 1.5 on a WinXP
txt2tags (http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/) is a python script that
can output .tex files. I would like to produce files with the txt2tags
markup and further refine them on LyX.
However I have a problem importing the .tex files produced by txt2tags
into LyX. The title and author field are missing in the .lyx file,
replaced by a "clear page" mention. The final .dvi lacks those fields
entirely.
Here follows a txt2tags xp1.tex file:
##

\usepackage{amsfonts,graphicx}
\usepackage[pdfstartview=FitH,urlcolor=blue,colorlinks=true,bookmarks=true]{hyperref}
\pagestyle{plain} % do page numbering ('empty' turns off)
\frenchspacing % no aditional spaces after periods
\setlength{\parskip}{8pt}\parindent=0pt % no paragraph indentation
\title{This is a title}
\author{I'm the author}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\clearpage
This is standard text
\section*{this is a section*}
This is more text
% LaTeX2e code generated by txt2tags 2.3 (http://txt2tags.sf.net)
% cmdline: txt2tags -t tex G:/MPI/xp1.t2t

And here is the corresponding xp1.lyx file:

Now, if I insert a date in the txt2tags file, the resulting LyX file
still does not display title and author, but shows the date followed
by the "clear page" mention. But the .dvi document shows indeed the
title, author and date, in a preceding page. Here are the files:

Help for a new user
Hello, I have a simple question. I am a newbie to LaTeX and LyX, but I am eager to learn. I downloaded the latest LyxWinInstaller (complete) and attempted to install on a WinXP machine (fairly new, plenty or memory and speed, etc.). At a couple points in the installation a DOS window popped up, did something that seemed to take only a short time, but then stayed there and wouldn't close. The installer was halted during this time. For each window I just waited a while and then closed it. The installer continued and all seemed fine. However, virtually nothing in LyX would work when it was all said and done. Can someone provide guidance about those pop-up DOS windows and what I should do? Everything else went very smoothly and seemed OK, so I assume the problem was there.

I use the w32tex install in addition to MikTeX and it works fine (MikTeX was installed first, so comes before w32tex in the path statements, so MikTeX gets used in preference to w32tex, but xetex gets used from w32tex 'cause it's not present in MikTeX). There're also instructions on ``How to use XeTeX for W32 on Web2C- based TeX distribution other than W32TeX'' --- I think those would work w/ MikTeX, but haven't investigated, since I already had w32tex set up.

Re: problems with ./configure
Then I tried to install it again. Nevertheless, when I run the command ./configure I receive the following error messages Exactly what ./configure? What directory? Are you trying to compile LyX? Once the lyx-1.5.1.tar.gz is downloaded, I extract it in the directory "X" and, in this directory, I use the command "./configure" (and then "make") ** moc 4 binary not found ! I can't believe that LyX is depending on that moc exists. ** uic 4 binary not found ! ** qt 4 library not found ! Do you have qt4 installed? Otherwise it will never work. I have installed qt4 and now it works. Sorry! I actually do not understand when and how I uninstalled it Thank you :-) Francesco
