Re: configuration fails
I guess that I have the answer. lyx-2.3.2-cygwin.tar.gz has not been installed. But configure.py should have detected it! === Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 === Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2019 at 8:29 PM From: "Patrick Dupre" To: "Richard Kimberly Heck" Cc: "Kornel Benko" , lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Subject: Re: configuration fails I am sorry for the confusion. none of the files exist on the computer.

using Miede's classicthesis LyX2.3-v4.5 in openSUSE Leap
Sorry Jürgen for addressing you this way. I reported this to the LyX users list quite some time ago but got no response at all. Nor could I find some help on Miede's website. Any hint or advice from you? Regards Michael Berger Dear friends of LyX, having faced quite a number of heavy throwbacks when trying to use older versions of Miede's classicthesis for linguistic theses I eventually ended up using using LyX2.3-v4.5 in openSUSE Leap (this version is up to now not yet available in Mageia 6) It is self-explanatory that the linguistics module must be loaded. After making some minor adjustments - most important activating some fonts as per attached screenshot - I am enjoying this version's extensive support (thanks to Jürgen Spitzmüller) in writing lingiustic papers. Among other things inserting special characters in glosses by simply copying them from tables using Insert >Special Character > Symbols has become fun and on top all text style features available for normal text are as well available in glosses. However, there is one last thing that so far I fail to achieve despite extensive search. I still can enter Insert > Marginal Note in the Lyx master and all child documents but I see no marginal notes at all in the PDF output. That is nothing really essential in my case but it might be well for other people. Best and thanks, Michael Berger

Hello, The configuration stop at DEBUG: Removing file a b.tex DEBUG: Removing file a b.log DEBUG: Failed to remove file texput.log Actually, any of the 3 files exists on the computer I can comment these lines in the python file, but it does not help. Actually, the rest of the file is not executed! I check on the permissions of the Lyx and Miktex files. But I do not see any thing wrong. How should a file the variable TEXINPUTS? I do not think that we really need if we do not use specific style files. It a windows7 machines. It is the last version of lyx and miktex.

lyx live
Hello, I found on the internet a lyx live DVD, but it seems old (2013). Is there any recent version? Thank. === Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdu...@gmx.com Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 ===
