Re: compiling lyx 2.0.1 Now: lyx2lyx
Thanks all who tried to help me with the compiling. I have given up for the time being and will wait until my son has time to help me (I am too old). I could not find zlib1g-dev under 'All' in synaptics. I am now using my notebook for completing a paper in lyx. However, the lyx file from the pc tells me, the DesmodiumPaperF.lyx is from a newer LyX-Version, and the lyx2lyx-Script could not convert the document. The Lyx version of the PC was 2.2.2, the version of the notebook 2.0.0svn. I tried separately in a shell lyx2lyx DesmodiumPaperF.lyx bash: lyx2lyx: command not found. What can I do?

This package includes the shared library. That package does not include the file zlib.h: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g/filelist You need zlib-dev: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zlib1g-dev http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g-dev/filelist which "includes the development support files". Base packages, like zlib1g, include only the files need to *use* the library. So to run LyX, you only need zlib1g, which LyX uses to zip and unzip things. The *-dev packages, on the other hand, include what you need to "link against" the library, that is, what you need to *compile* programs that use that library. So, to compile LyX, you need zlib1g-dev. The same goes for the X packages and Qt packages. E.g., as well as libqt4, you need libqt4-dev. Richard Thanks Richard for your careful explanation. Will try and report. Wolfgang

LyX will handle Unicode BibTeX files properly, but only if the encoding of the document is set to the same as the encoding of the BibTeX file. I.e., LyX assumes that the encodings of the two files are the same, because that actually needs to be the case for processing purposes. There are newer processors, such as biber, that will do Unicode, and the newer BibLaTeX processor will do this, but for the standard LaTeX + BibTeX combination, you really need to use pure ASCII, because that is all BibTeX supports. You can sometimes get away with a bit of Unicode in a BibTeX file, actually, but it's just sheer luck when it works. Ideally, LyX would detect the encoding of the file and re-write it as needed. But this is impossible to do reliably, in principle, and it is difficult to do with much reliability in practice. See: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6223. Richard

Re: pdflatex never finishes (LyX 2.0.1)
It would be a good idea to export a file to LaTeX (pdflatex), then run pdflatex against it in a DOS window. That might help pin down whether there are problems with your LaTeX (MiKTeX?) distribution. Paul

OK, I must admit I never made such an operation. So I'm not sure, but I think you might be discarding this a little quickly. I found some PDF pages example that you find online. It's seems it would fit. Use the same document class, fonts, margins, etc. I would imagine that you can supply your own preamble to Doxygen, which would handle all of that. Try copying the preamble code generated by LyX. To remove headers and footers, you could do preamble code as well, which is just as easy as above, or apply a trim on the inserted PDF pages. You can set a pagecommand to overlay a \pagestyle{} command on top of the included PDF pages, thus keeping your headers, footers and page numbers running. Additionally, I will get empty page before first page of documentation would be included. Next, problem is tweaking Doxygen LaTeX code to remove such things as title page, etc. You're stuck with starting the Docu on a new page, is that what you mean? Formatting the first included page with a Chapter title is an issue. Here I don't see another way then editing of your external .tex file. Hopefully the amount of editing is sufficiently limited. -- Julien

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
I guess I am experiencing some of this problems because I work on a network station. Even though I have administrator rights, I just can not get this to work. If the LyX installer just could have downloaded MikTex like it did before I think it would have worked, since 1.6 worked flawlessly on the same (school) network. 2011/9/13 Brian Linfoot > On 13/09/2011 15:44, Christian Wilhelmsen wrote: > >> Tried to compile, and get this output from messages: >> >> 16:42:41.737: Previewing ... >> >> 16:42:41.743: (buffer-view: Ctrl+R) >> >> 16:42:41.798: pdflatex "file.tex" >> >> 16:42:41.868: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (MiKTeX 2.9) >> >> 16:42:42.829: (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) >> >> D:\LyXSVN\LyX2.0.x\src\**support\Systemcall.cpp(259): Systemcall: >> 'pdflatex "file.tex"' finished with exit code 1 >> >> Error: Cannot view file >> >> --**-- >> >> File does not exist: C:/Users/chriswil.AD/AppData/** >> Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp4684/**lyx_tmpbuf2/file.pdf >> >> 16:42:47.585: Error while previewing format: pdf2 >> >> >> >> I seem to remember having seen this before with LyX 2.0.0 > > I suspect your LyX installation possibly has screwed up it's temp > directory path, > Do you have an old lyx version on your system?

The old tetex packages are long gone, but even Debian/unstable is still at TeXLive 2009! If you want to work with LuaTeX or the unicode-math package, updating the TeXLive distro is a must. I would put texlive 2011 under /usr/local/... I don't know whether some paths still need adjustment or the common preference of /usr/local/... over /usr/... will suffice. If space is an issue, a "dummy package" could be used to fullfill requirements of LyX etc. and all Debian texlive packages removed. Günter
