I will try the standard installer after my laptop becomes operational. It will take some time to fix it since it has to be sent to Singapore and I plan to do it only in when I go there. Right now, the laptop fan does not work and there is a risk of burning the disk/cpu. I think I did try the standard installer and it may not have worked. But I cannot confirm this. I remember installing different versions though. Saras
LyX and the algorithm2e package
Hello everybody, I'm a novice LyX/TeX user. Did any of you manage to get the algorithm2e package to work in LyX? I tried to copy the module and follow the instructions in [1], but it didn't work at first; I did a few changes to the module, which now looks like this: - #\DeclareLyXModule[algorithm2e.sty]{algorithm2e float} #DescriptionBegin # Wrapper for the algorithm2e environment #DescriptionEnd #Requires #Excludes #Author: phbaer (many thanks to Chris) Format 11 Requires algorithm2e AddToPreamble \usepackage[algo2e,portuguese]{algorithm2e} EndPreamble Float Type algorithm GuiName Algorithm2e Placement tbp Extension loa NumberWithin none Style plain ListName "List of Algorithms" LaTeXBuiltin false End - But now my algorithms have the string "Algorithm2e 1" prepended to the caption, instead of "Algoritmo 1" (my native language is Portuguese). I am interested in using this package because it can generate a localized list of algorithms and also localized captions. Would anybody happen to have a working module? I'm running LyX 1.6.8 with MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows. [1] http://phbaer.net/2009/09/09/algorithm2e-module-for-lyx Regards, Georger
Re: Custom Class Figure Problem
That gave me the same error that singlespacing is already defined. I'll go fool around with the class and see if I can't get singlespacing working again. You're very welcome. Good luck. Thanks. If I get this done I'll hoist a beverage in your (and the others who helped me) honour.

Do you know of a quick way of fixing that? I tried just using the paragraph settings but it seems the class has redefined /singlespace so when I try to make the pdf I get an error. How about: \usepackage[font=singlespacing,labelsep=period]{caption} Thanks to the help of another user I think I can edit the class to rename the command freeing up /singlespacing. The one thing I'm unsure of when doing that is do I only have to reconfigure LyX or do I need to do something with MiKTeX also? If you modify the class file you don't need to reconfigure anything I'd think. If you made a renamed copy of the class file under a different name, and change or rename your LyX layout file accordingly, then I'd think you would need to reconfigure LyX. Again thanks for the help. It's very much appreciated. You're very welcome. Good luck. Julien On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 1:41 PM, Julien Riouxwrote: \usepackage[labelsep=period]{caption}
Re: Custom Class Figure Problem
That did get the figure number and caption in the same line (much thanks) but it did not single space the caption. Do you know of a quick way of fixing that? I tried just using the paragraph settings but it seems the class has redefined /singlespace so when I try to make the pdf I get an error. Thanks to the help of another user I think I can edit the class to rename the command freeing up /singlespacing. The one thing I'm unsure of when doing that is do I only have to reconfigure LyX or do I need to do something with MiKTeX also? Again thanks for the help. It's very much appreciated.

Re: Custom Class Figure Problem
Actually I think putting in your document preamble (From the menu Document > Settings) this line: \usepackage[labelsep=period]{caption} is quick and sufficient.
Re: Custom Class Figure Problem
Thanks again. I'll do some reading and then maybe pose some more questions.

Danny Hi, I personally don't know how to achieve your caption format, but I can point you in the right direction. What you want to achieve can be controlled at the latex level. There will be some latex code that you can put in your document's preamble to achieve it. One option that I can think of, off the top of my head, is the "caption" latex package. You might want to search for its documentation and read it. I don't know for sure if this package can do what you want, but it is likely. In any case, now that we have established that it is a latex question, it can be asked on dedicated latex channels. There are latex experts roaming this list as well, but you would increase the likelihood of an answer by asking on comp.lang.tex, etc. Cheers, Julien

According to the screenshots, one of the installations (the one that works) was installed using the standard installer and the other one was installed using the alternative installer.
