Problem with figure spanning two columns

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. I have a figure float in which I've checked the option to span 
columns (this is a two-column paper in the article class).. the 
placement is set to default placement. For some reason, on the page 
preceding the figure, the paragraphs have an extra lineskip between 
them... any ideas on how I can get rid of these extra lines? If I 
uncheck the span columns option, the spacing between the paragraphs 
is fine. The figure doesn't fit in one column width so I need to use 
the span columns option...

Thanks,
nirmal

Re: adding new tex classes

[Nirmal Govind]

When I opened lyx again, beamer does not appear in the Doc class choices 
although it does appear in the Tex configuration.
You need to have a LyX .layout file corresponding to the class 
you're installing.. the .layout file needs to go in your 
.lyx/layouts/ folder. Luckily enough, the beamer class author does 
provide the LyX .layout file along with the tarball.. check in the 
lyx (or maybe LyX, can't remember) folder.. put that in the folder 
mentioned above and you should see it in the dropdown menu (I don't 
think you need to run LyX's reconfigure for this but if it doesn't 
appear, then do try running reconfigure)...

Re: Bibdesk and LyX

[Nirmal Govind]

I belive pybliographer needs to be compiled on OS X.. bibdesk seems 
fine in terms of functionality.. jabref works out of the box on OS X 
and also has the push to LyX feature (I don't know how useful this 
feature is since adding citations from within LyX is just as easy). 
Hope this helps.

Re: Lyx does not run BibTeX

[Nirmal Govind]

I found a similar problem describes twice in the mail-archive, but there has 
been no answer.
I seem to recall having the same problem some time back.. I can't 
remember what the solution was but try deleting all the auxiliary 
files that LyX/LaTeX generates like .bbl, .blg, .aux, .dvi/ps/pdf, 
.tex and then try exporting/viewing from Lyx.. that may help..

missing textclass cv?

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. I'm trying to open a LyX document that was created using the cv 
layout, on LyX/Mac 1.3.4 on OS X.. I get the error message that the 
textclass is missing. I see that cv.cls exists in 
/Applications/LyXbinary.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/tex/cv.cls and 
cv.layout exists in 
/Applications/LyXbinary.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/layouts/cv.layout 
... but when I do a reconfigure in LyX from the shell, this is what 
I see:

Any ideas why this is so and potential solutions?

Thanks folks for all the help.. I guess I never ran into this 
problem in Linux... I put the cls file in my local texmf folder 
(which is in /Users/myhomedirectory/ since it's easier when I do a 
backup to have all my files in one place) and everything's fine now..

Re: Trouble with converting from ps to pdf in OS X

[Nirmal Govind]

I won't pretend to give you a real solution, but I've had no problems using
Gerben Wierda's distribution of teTeX and related tools, rather than fink's.
You might try that instead: http://www.rna.nl/ii.html.

Hi Bennett.. I tried your alternative solution and installed GW's 
teTeX... still the same problem (same error message) with conversion 
to PDF via ps2pdf, however, dvipdfm can now convert to pdf even with 
the lmodern fonts.. so that's a big improvement and solves my 
problem.. I'm still puzzled by the error from ps2pdf though..

Re: Trouble with converting from ps to pdf in OS X

You may want to use pdflatex or dvipdfm to circumvent the problem.
Thanks Paul.. I tried dvipdfm but that had the same problem... error 
while trying to convert from dvi to pdf.. the error from dvipdfm is:

[1kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+437/600 
--dpi 1037 cork-lmbx12
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for cork-lmbx12.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
cork-lmbx12: Can't locate a Type 1, TTF, PK, or virtual font file

So I removed the use of lmodern (Latin modern fonts) and dvipdfm now 
works.. but I'd like to use lmodern if possible... anyone have any 
suggestions on this?

pdflatex doesn't work since epstopdf has trouble converting my eps 
images to pdf.. in fact, I don't remember this working well on linux 
either (pdflatex with eps images).. probably cos my eps images were 
created using Adobe Illustrator and that gives rise to some 
difficulties I believe.

Re: LyX Win32 installation problem

Thanks for the responses, folks. Please see my replies inline below...
3: Make sure that the two files LaTeXConfig.lyx.in and LyXConfig.lyx.in 
exist in the .../share/lyx/doc folder.  They were missing from my last 
download of Ruurd's port.
These do not exist it seems.. What should he do?
4: Someone reported on the list that Edit-Reconfigure fails if LyX and 
the user's home directory are on different drives.
this is also true.. so I'll forward him Jim's post with the link to 
the new configure.bat ..

I believe his path is also missing Ghostscript so I suspect that 
this is the culprit... will report back once he tries out these

LyX Win32 installation problem

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. I was trying to help a friend install Ruurd's win32 version on 
windows. Everything seemed to have gone fine but the configure 
script doesn't seem to be able to find the converters for latex to 
dvi, latex to pdf, ps to pdf etc. We installed MikTeX just before 
installing LyX and I verified that these converters were present. So 
right now the View menu is empty, and so is the export menu in LyX. 
Any ideas on what might be wrong and what I need to do? I don't have 
much experience w/ LyX on Windows so would appreciate any help... 
incidentally, I installed this version on my Windows machine a few 
weeks back and everything went fine. I followed the exact same 
procedure this time too.. only difference I can think of is that 
this friend's machine had some previous version of MikTeX installed, 
which we deleted before installing the latest version...

Thanks,

extra line after a flushleft

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi..

When I start a new paragraph after a paragraph in which the last 
portion was left justified, I get an extra line between the two 
paragraphs. For example, I have the following:

***begin example***

   Start of para1 is here, this line is indented... blah blah 
blah.. this is derived below:

Displayed Equation goes here,

where x = 1, y = 2 etc.. - This portion of this paragraph is left 
justified.

   Start of para2 is here. Now, the first line of this para is 
indented but there is an extra line above the first line of this para.

***end example***

I hope the problem is clear... is there a solution to this? Please 
let me know.

Thanks,

Re: lyx-1.3.4 rpm

Nirmal, I think the problem is the lyx.spec has a dependency on qt,
while mandrake provides qt3. I think that you could/should replce in
lyx.spec the line
%define frontdep qt = 2.2.1
with something like
%define frontdep qt3 = 3.1.0
Thanks JMarc.. I made the change above and uploaded the new rpm to 
www.personal.psu.edu/nug107/lyx .. can you please trasnfer it to 
ftp.lyx.org? My apologies to those who've had to do the --nodeps... 
hopefully it should be OK now..

Thanks Andre' and Jean-Pierre.. should I file an enhancement request 
on bugzilla?

I like the wrapper idea.. will use this for now..

Re: lyx-1.3.4 rpm--compile on mandrake, 64bit AMD

[Nirmal Govind]

The moc binary is in the /usr/lib/qt3 tree, but the qt libraries are in
/usr/lib64. I can create a symbolic link (and that is my inclination)  
You may want to check the help for the configure script.. there's an 
option to specify the qt libraries directory separately..

from the qt3/lib director to select (*.a) or to all in the real location,
but prefer not to mess with library structures I don't fully grok.
I would think that a symbolic link from /usr/lib/qt3/lib to 
/usr/lib64 wouldn't hurt (since it's symbolic)...

Nirmal, I think the problem is the lyx.spec has a dependency on "qt",
while mandrake provides "qt3". I think that you could/should replce in
lyx.spec the line
%define frontdep qt >= 2.2.1
with something like
%define frontdep qt3 >= 3.1.0

[Nirmal Govind]

Can any kind soul put up a lyx-1.3.4 rpm on their site
-- I can't wait to install.
I don't know what distro you're using but the rpm I built for 
Mandrake 9.2 is at

math-macro in preamble?

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi.. is there a way to include math-macros anywhere else other than 
in the main part of the lyx file? Maybe in the preamble or so? I'm 
trying to have a global math-macros file that can be included in all 
my lyx files so that I only need to update one macros file.. I tried 
putting all the math-macros in a lyx file (MathMacros.lyx) and then 
did an Include File in the main lyx document that I'm editing. 
Problem is that if I open this lyx document alone (with no lyx files 
that use math-macros currently open), then the macros will not 
convert to what they're supposed to look like.. they'll show up in 
ERT... is there a workaround to this? (I'm currently making sure 
that I open MathMacros.lyx before I open any of the other files.. 
hope there's some neater way of doing this).

Thanks,
nirmal
