read of the requirement to create such a texmf sub-directory, given
that it was not created automatically by either MiKTeX or LyX? Indeed,

Has anyone any idea as to the solution of this problem?

Thanks for the solution!
I elect to use Stephens solution, as I am not using LyX (making
the changes directly to the LaTeX source). When I learn the
proper use of LyX, I'll try the other suggested solution.

Well, I just learned that the .tex file that I have been laboring over
can be imported into LyX, and it produces upon request the same
document as does pdflatex (no wonder here though, since LyX
must be orchestrating execution of pdflatex), with the erroneously
presented graphic image.
So,

OK. One last question tonight.
The image which Dominik sent me has dimensions of
7.97 by 1.72 inches. Now, if memory serves me right,
there are exactly 2.54cm per inch. Dominik set the
width of the graphic include to be 10 centimeters in the
.tex file.
My image has dimensions of 8.5 by 11

My experience, by using the complete install, about 105MBytes,
is that the process is easy. Of course, I use the Windows version,
so there may be some differences in the install process. My
problems are with the details of LyX usage, not getting it to run.
Also, I could load the documentation

And, the formatting details are not distracting, except
for distractible minds.
And, no, I do not suggest that the bibliography feature

To all of you, I must say that I get lots of good advice,

First, I vote for LICK.
If the goal is to be a TeX product, then extend the language, and
avoid the sound of plurality,
Second, I think LyX has a wonderful potential, and a magnificently
executed actual.
I have learned from where most of the text formatting is controlled,
and it is surprisingly
hich is it? Where exactly should .layout files be located? And,
why is the language given in the product not consistent with the
language given in the Wiki and the documentation?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Is there any reason that I should shy away from
the notion of using LyX with TeX Live in a Windows
environment?
If not, are there any suggestions or observations
suitable to configuring LyX and TeX Live to work
together under Windows?
Thanks.

experience is that LyX generally works well, even if a few gotcha's
occur early in the process. Since I have used LyX for only one paper,
and that about one year ago, I don't remember many details of the
gotcha's I then faced, nor how to overcome them.

Working with TeX is a bit of a challenge, since it seems not to
include much support for abstract drawing. I have need for figures
to appear in a paper, and am not familiar with the toolset usually
employed for use to make drawn images suitable for use with TeX.
Can you please make a few

Thank you all for the list of tools.
As my need was urgent, I tried IPE, and it works well, though is
a bit clunky.
Will try the others, and return a quick sense of utility for each.

Dear Rich:
