Try,

\usepackage{fancyheadings}

Make sure you have the latest memoir class package.

Memoir has its own functions that accomplish the same thing as

LyX, and then code how plain does headers. Here's my header code

The current support for the Memoir class within LyX is extremely limited.

I'm currently writing my novel not in LyX while utilizing the Memoir class 
just writing straight LaTeX and the Kile LaTeX Editor for KDE.

You need to download the Memoir package from CTAN and do the following:

Either sudo or su - :

1. Change to the local texmf directory where you can store your add-on latex 
packages not officially part of one of the distributions.

Example:

Platform: Debian Linux

Local Path: /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex 

Memoir Path : /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/memoir

Read the README instructions Mr. Wilson provides for Memoir.  Once those 
options are done than change directory to the top of your local tex 
repository:

Path: /usr/local/share/texmf

Run texhash and let it regenerate the ls-R listing.

Run vi/vim/pico/less/more or whatever editor you want to view the contents of 
ls-R and verify that memoir and its directory have been added to your 
listing.

Running LyX's Reconfigure will make it aware of the ls-R changes.

Here is the Crux:  LyX doesn't have full support for the Memoir Package--it's 
quite extensive.

Solution:  Either except utilizing the ERT command to fill in LaTeX commands 
explicitly which don't always work for Memoir or run Kile or another 
TeX/LaTeX editor using Memoir.

I find Kile quite excellent and the 1.7a1 I'm running great.  I'm hoping LyX 
1.4 or possibly 1.5 will have full Memoir support but until than I use Kile 
when working with Memoir.

-Marc

P.S. If you need more questions asked I'll be more than happy wherever I can 
help.  Oh and read the Memoir PDF documentation along with the Companion 
because it will help clarify much.  The TUG Indian Group's tutorials are an 
excellent source of information as well.

Re: missing textclass cv?

2004-06-26 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Underneath LyX Help there is a section about adding classes and other 
packages.

Inside the instructions it makes mention that texhash needs to be run.

I am not exactly sure where Ron has set up LyX/Mac local package support but 
I'm sure Mr. Florence has some better information on this matter.

For myself Debian GNU/Linux my stuff goes under /usr/local/share/texmf/

which consists of the following layout:

/usr/local/share/texmf/

-ls -R  and tex/

underneath tex/ is /latex/

underneath latex/ are my packages in their own directories named exactly like 
their macro names.

memoir has a memoir/
pdfdraftcopy has a pdfdraftcopy/

so on and so forth.

At /usr/local/share/texmf I run texhash

/usr/local/share/texmftexhash

It regenerates what packages are available and includes them inside the ls-R 
file.

Launch LyX and run Reconfigure works for me every time.

  You can use the short title inset (Einfügen-Kurztitel) to insert an
  alternative text for the headers.

 Unfortunately this alternative text appears in the running headings, too.
 If you don't use the memoir class that solves this problem you can redefine
 the \chaptermark command that does format the headings. See

Re: problem with some document classes

2004-05-10 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Since I'm running Debian Sid I do the following:

mkdir /usr/localshare/texmf/tex/latex

Underneath that directory you can either make a separate directory/folder for 
each class style or leave them separate if it is just one file.

For cleanliness I make sure each one has its own directory.  Now if its a 
package from www.ctan.org  it usually is tar'd up with its own directory in 
the first place.

Underneath my directory tree I have the following so far:

IEEEtran/
algorithms/
epigraph/
memoir/
paper/
pdfcolmk/
pdfdraftcopy/
pdftricks/
preprint/
prettyref/
resume/
runic/


move back up to the /usr/local/share/texmf directory.

run texhash

ls-R should be autogenerated.

Then within LyX run Reconfigure followed by restarting LyX.

Now LyX doesn't fully support memoir so when I need that class I use the 
latest version of Kile and code by hand, even though Kile does quite a bit
of helping one out.

 Well, I guess you meant /usr/share/lyx/tex, I'm using gentoo too.
 From what I've read somewere else it should work if I run
 `texhash /usr/share/lyx/tex/` it would be the same, but it didn't work.
 So I simlinked that directory to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx and after a

If so export via TIFF, launch the GIMP or Photoshop and use either app to deal

IrfanView.

Grab both portions of the app and your jpgs, tiffs, etc.. will be fully

Re: help with accents

2004-04-28 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Well,

To track down this annoyance we need to know something of your system 
configuration at home.

List the following information:

1. Operating System
2. glibc library version and its locales listing.

For example, myself:

1. Debian Unstable (2.6.5 kernel)
2. locales 2.3.2.ds1-1
3. glibc-2.3.2.ds1-12

How I modify the locales is with the package GkDebconf and under the base 
section select locales and choose which ones I want to be locally supported.

Besides the standard Western I include the en_US.ISO-8859-1, en_US.ISO-8859-15 
and en_US.UTF-8 locales to be generated for my Debian System.

Of course you would choose the one's appropriate to your native language that 
is supported.

But until one knows what your configuration is it's a Shot in the Dark.

 Which program do you use at work and which one at home to send the
 documents? It's probably there that the problem lies. I think that the
 easiest thing to do would be to ZIP the file before sending. I think the
 mail program probably catalogs the .lyx extension as plain text or so, as
 it may not be declared to be binary, and so all characters above 127 are
 deleted.

 Also, be sure not to include it in the mail as a text attachment. Text is
 not supposed to have accented characters.

 If you use an extension known to be binary, it should go through well. I
 know there is a way to declare the .lyx extension as a binary mime, but I
 don't know how...

 John

 PS: you could just rename it from xxx.lyx to xxx.zip. That might work too.

 PS2: I believe the mime types should be defined in your ~/.mailcap file or
 /etc/mime.types, but I'm not sure which (I believe it's the latter -
 /etc/mime.types)

Zipping seems to be an unnecessary workaround. I tested a few files and 
submitted via my remote mail server and nothing was lost in the files during 
submission or fetch.

What is your Mail Server you use?

Postfix works quite well for this without the need of zip, though zip does add 
the benefit of compression.  The more difficult part is if one gets into the 
habit of attaching zip archives to third parties who don't have a zip 
unarchiving/archiving utilitiy it is useless.

Well,

To track down this annoyance we need to know something of your system 
configuration at home.

List the following information:

1. Operating System
2. glibc library version and its locales listing.

For example, myself:

1. Debian Unstable (2.6.5 kernel)
2. locales 2.3.2.ds1-1
3. glibc-2.3.2.ds1-12

How I modify the locales is with the package GkDebconf and under the base 
section select locales and choose which ones I want to be locally supported.

Besides the standard Western I include the en_US.ISO-8859-1, en_US.ISO-8859-15 
and en_US.UTF-8 locales to be generated for my Debian System.

Of course you would choose the one's appropriate to your native language that 
is supported.

But until one knows what your configuration is it's a Shot in the Dark.

Beny,

Sounds like a localization issue with the locales package installed on your 
system.  Since you don't list the operating system you have running and what 
locales package support you have installed versus that of the other system I 
would check this as an option to investigate.  

I'd also check whether or not your TeX/LaTeX installation wasn't corrupted by 
any chance.

Generate a top level document that is nothing more than \include filenames of

document which part of the overall document this section references.

myCompleteDocument.lyx

As a structure it would appear as a sort of meta document.

   Thus the  installDiffFile:  command needs
   to be able to load multiple (possibly a large number) of
   doc.lyx.diff.num  files at one time and
   the change tracking facility of  lyx needs to support processing
   them all at one time.

  With this feature when the document is released
  it would have embedded in it a date stamp.
  Once that date is reached copies of the document would not
  allow change tracking to be used (with some kind of

  Also, once that date is reached I would run
  lyx on the document and all the doc.lyx.diff.num files I have
   received and update the documentation accordingly.
   I would then release the new version of the documentation
   with a new embedded date stamp.

  Note that this implies documentation releases,

Re: myTitlePage

2004-04-12 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
And don't forget that since you are putting styles, classes and packages 
inside your local texmf/ directory you have to run texhash and let it update 
and generate the ls-R index.

Debian: /usr/local/share/texmf

I run Edit-Reconfigure afterwards and it will work, when there is at least 
preliminary support for your package, sty or cls file.

Example: memoir has cursory support, but something like resume.cls has zero 
support.  I don't use LyX when I am writing a resume.  I utilize Kile and it 
works great.

Re: include problem

2004-04-10 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
How does this answer the question regarding LyX and it being unable to 
automate the process?

I can always write in straight LaTeX but one of the selling points in LyX is 
to not have to write solely in LaTeX with my content.

Would this require a shell script to strip and replace what is needed?

Re: Lyx and spell check

2004-03-03 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Henrik is referring to this part of your style sheet:

a:link { text-decoration: none; color:blue; }
a:visited { text-decoration: none; color:green; }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color:red; }

You made it a Global instead of a Local Variable and since the screenshot is 
wrapped inside an anchor tag the entire border changes color which I believe 
is how come he is calling it rather evil CSS.

I'm surprised he didn't complain about your use of frames and a form list just 
to target links within a single page thus effectively requiring a person to 
request state data for a document they already have stored in cache the first 
time they hit your site.

By the way the name tag has been deprecated in favor of id for anchor tags 
within a page so it won't validate against XHTML.

a id=spellChecker/a

target= has also been restructured with the advent of XHTML.

The most annoying use of javascript on this page has to be the following code:

script language=JavaScript
!-- 
if (window == top) top.location.href = lyx_on_aqua.html;
--
/script

Forcing one to have to see the split view of frames.

I'd put this on your page since you ask for suggestions:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd;

head
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=utf-8 /
meta http-equiv=Content-Style-Type content=text/css /

Switch the Table code to DIVs and use CSS to duplicate the table layout 
without the recursive overhead of table drawing.

Re: New features / interworkability of LyX

2003-12-16 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
William,

Early I asked since LyX is UI Independent whether or not a desire for a 
Cocoa UI has been posted besides from myself.

With much of the UI available by AppKit already it would seem if someone 
has ObjC experience they could ObjC++ LyX and offer this as well as 
other benefits.

My request pretty much went nowhere with Qt/Mac being present, even 
though AppKit and Qt aren't the same beasts.

And I've recently embarrassed myself somewhat thereby (see recent

Anyway, I'd like to ask that preserving comments (at least) in 
imported LaTeX files have at least some continued consideration in the 
effort to improve the LaTeX import / export.

Also, there's a push in the Mac OS X TeX community to adopt a

derives from NeXTstep), a ``bundle'' is a folder w/ an extension which 
is treated as a document file, so one would have, say:

preface.tex (sub file)
chap1.tex (sub file)

Memoir class and Inserting Index entry on LyX 1.3.3

2003-12-15 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Okay to keep this straightforward:

There  are two bugs at work here.

Bug #1 using Memoir Class

Switching from book class to memoir to continue work on a novel works so 
long as I do not insert an Index.  It complains with the following error:

LaTeX Error: Command \see already defined.
\newcommand*\see[2]{\emph{\seename} #1}
  
Your command was ignored.
Type  I command return  to replace it with another command,
or  return  to continue without it.

Removing the Index entry results in the error being resolved and 
View/export to DVI/PDF/HTML, etc works.

Bug #2 adding index entry after entering a return/enter newline call 
from the keyboard crashes LyX.

Scenario:  Tested with Book class and Memoir class to rule out class 
specific issues.

On the last/current written chapter with the following layout:

Text included to help visualize the situation:

I have felt this before. I musn't focus on the fire. I musn't focus on 
her twin,

[INDEX]
Appendix A
If I put an index entry just after twin, of course it gives me the 
desired Idx tag to then name it so it knows where to reference the term, 
twin and from what page it is being referenced.

Now if I hit return/enter to get a new line within LyX and then go 
Insert-Index Entry then lyx crashes.

Memoir class and Inserting Index entry on LyX 1.3.3

2003-12-15 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Okay to keep this straightforward:

There  are two bugs at work here.

Bug #1 using Memoir Class

Switching from book class to memoir to continue work on a novel works so 
long as I do not insert an Index.  It complains with the following error:

LaTeX Error: Command \see already defined.
\newcommand*\see[2]{\emph{\seename} #1}
  
Your command was ignored.
Type  I command return  to replace it with another command,
or  return  to continue without it.

Removing the Index entry results in the error being resolved and 
View/export to DVI/PDF/HTML, etc works.

Bug #2 adding index entry after entering a return/enter newline call 
from the keyboard crashes LyX.

Scenario:  Tested with Book class and Memoir class to rule out class 
specific issues.

On the last/current written chapter with the following layout:

Text included to help visualize the situation:

I have felt this before. I musn't focus on the fire. I musn't focus on 
her twin,

[INDEX]
Appendix A
If I put an index entry just after twin, of course it gives me the 
desired Idx tag to then name it so it knows where to reference the term, 
twin and from what page it is being referenced.

Now if I hit return/enter to get a new line within LyX and then go 
Insert-Index Entry then lyx crashes.

Re: Looking for a faster PDF viewer

I know this is not what you want to hear but what would having a PDF 
Viewer dynamically update your previews faster even matter?

DVI allows for rapid preview of your document.  Once you are satisfied 
then export to PS, PDF, HTML, etc.

P.S. The footprint for xdvi is a fraction of xpdf/kpdf or acroread.

Re: Looking for a faster PDF viewer

2003-12-08 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
So if I underatnd you correctly this is more an issue of perception 
versus functionality.  That is to say when you output via pdflatex and 
it launches say, Acroread or xpdf or Preview in OS X or even KGhostView 
(supports dvi, ps, eps, pdf) and then you modify the document and select 
Update output to PDF and it does not reinstantiate that initial view 
with an updated view like it does in DVI that you think it could be 
remedied by a different PDF Viewer?

If this is the case, then for me after launching my first view in 
Acroread on Linux I close that view after reviewing it, edit within LyX 
and select Update-PDF (pdflatex) and since the application is already 
running it immediately shows me an updated view.

If I don't close that prior instance it doesn't compare the time stamps 
of files as a revision history and then opens up a secondary copy or 
redraws/opens the original document with the updated copy.  I believe 
that is more of an issue with the design of the pdf application reader 
than it is the limitation of LyX or how pdflatex pipes to pdf.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'd like to ask Ron Florence who has 
Preview.app on OS X to hook into LyX Qt/Mac to verify whether or not the 
pdflatex functionality can dynamically update to Preview or not.  And if 
it doesn't it is definitely something that would be available if it were 
a Cocoa version of LyX since Objective-C is purely dynamic both in type 
and run-time.

Paul Smith wrote:

view in PDF, the same steps are done, after which a converter program 
has to convert the DVI to PDF.  So the extra delay you perceive may 
not be due to the use of GSview -- it may be the conversion 
step,which must be done no matter what viewer you choose.


I understand your argument, Paul. However, I am using pdflatex, which 
- I think - does not produce any intermediate DVI file. Furthermore, 
if one updates (using LyX) the output PDF file and wait 5 minutes 
before going to view the file on GSview, the same delay is perceived.

As Jose just mentioned you need the qt-devel for RH, just like you need 
it for what I run, Debian.

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-free-3.2.3.tar.bz2

However, for me Debian Sid is at 3.2.1 and now that Qt 3.2.3 is out I 
decided to download the bz2 archive from Trolltech directly and then

$ cd /usr/local

and set up the necessary environment variables within the README.

Just build set to your system configuration preferences and then build 
LyX against that and you'll notice it will be zippier, since the general 
binaries aren't necessarily optimized for your particular system.

When Debian Sid updates its Qt debs and updates LyX to those debs I'll 
switch back.

What I do like about having the source to build against is to add extra

don't have 2 monitors.

How is this question becoming such a rat-hole?

Don't put it in /usr/share/texmf---that's where Debian officially 
updates tetex and all the recommended and dependent packages as well for 
tetex to run. I can't imagine there would be much of a difference with 
other Linux distros that follow the /usr/share intent.

Create /usr/local/share/texmf
Then create tex under texmf
Then create latex underneath tex
/usr/local/share/texmf
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex
/usr/local/share/texmf/latex
Extract your packages under the latex directory:

I have the following packages installed:

algorithms/
epigraph/
IEEEtran/
kom-script/
memoir/
paper/
prettyref/
runic/
svjour/
tugboat/
Read the instructions under each latex package that are separate from 
the instructions within the LyX -Customization section, which are on 
the CTAN tex archive site.

For example: Memoir
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/?action=/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/
excerpt:

   To install the package:
o run: latex memoir.ins (which will generate memoir.cls,
and a set of mem*.clo files)
o run: latex memoir.dtx
  For an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist memoir
o run: latex memoir.dtx
o Print memoir.dvi for a hardcopy of the documented code
o Move memoir.cls, the mem*.clo files and any mem*.sty file to locations
 where LaTeX will find them (typically in a local texmf tree at
 /tex/latex/memoir) and refresh the file database.
 See the FAQ on CTAN at help/uk-tex-faq
 or http://www.tug.ac.uk/faq for more information on this.
   To process memman.tex
o Make sure you can use the memoir class and the alltt, fixltx2e,
 layouts and url packages.
o Run (pdf)latex twice on memman.tex
o For an index run: makeindex -s memman.ist memman
o Run (pdf)latex twice more on memman.tex
o Print the manual
NOTE: you'll find that this process is repeatable with all .ins and .dtx 
files.

Then apply the texhash command spoken of from within LyX-Customization 
from Step 5

It will create the following file:

/usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R

The apply step 6 which states:

6. From within LyX, do: OptionsReconfigure. Restart LyX.

Verify it works by then checking your Help-LaTeX configuration

Of course it will then show up in the Layout-Document-Document 
Style-Document class list view.

I haven't had one of the packages that LaTeX configuration has support 
for not work.

The memoir class even has a very recent patch to it which I'll have to 
check because it does have bugs outside of LyX.

I downloaded the elsart.layout from

http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/

and installed it in ~/.lyx/layouts

In the same directory I have elsart.sty, elsart12.sty and elsart.cls
that I downloaded from elsevier and amssymb.sty that I downloaded from
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/Docs/InsightDocuments/Latex/amssymb.sty?cvsroot=Insight

I ran lyx->reconfigure.

In the output it says:

+checking for document class elsart [elsart,amssymb.sty]... no

And I don't get a listing in lyx->document->class.

What's wrong?

Thanks,
Sander
 

How is this question becoming such a rat-hole?

Don't put it in /usr/share/texmf---that's where Debian officially 
updates tetex and all the recommended and dependent packages as well for 
tetex to run. I can't imagine there would be much of a difference with 
other Linux distros that follow the /usr/share intent.

Create /usr/local/share/texmf
Then create tex under texmf
Then create latex underneath tex
/usr/local/share/texmf
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex
/usr/local/share/texmf/latex
Extract your packages under the latex directory:

I have the following packages installed:

algorithms/
epigraph/
IEEEtran/
kom-script/
memoir/
paper/
prettyref/
runic/
svjour/
tugboat/
Read the instructions under each latex package that are separate from 
the instructions within the LyX ->Customization section, which are on 
the CTAN tex archive site.

For example: Memoir
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/?action=/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/
excerpt:

   To install the package:
o run: latex memoir.ins (which will generate memoir.cls,
and a set of mem*.clo files)
o run: latex memoir.dtx
  For an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist memoir
o run: latex memoir.dtx
o Print memoir.dvi for a hardcopy of the documented code
o Move memoir.cls, the mem*.clo files and any mem*.sty file to locations
 where LaTeX will find them (typically in a local texmf tree at
 /tex/latex/memoir) and refresh the file database.
 See the FAQ on CTAN at help/uk-tex-faq
 or http://www.tug.ac.uk/faq for more information on this.
   To process memman.tex
o Make sure you can use the memoir class and the alltt, fixltx2e,
 layouts and url packages.
o Run (pdf)latex twice on memman.tex
o For an index run: makeindex -s memman.ist memman
o Run (pdf)latex twice more on memman.tex
o Print the manual
NOTE: you'll find that this process is repeatable with all .ins and .dtx 
files.

Then apply the texhash command spoken of from within LyX-Customization 
from Step 5

It will create the following file:

/usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R

The apply step 6 which states:

6. From within LyX, do: Options>Reconfigure. Restart LyX.

Verify it works by then checking your Help->LaTeX configuration

Of course it will then show up in the Layout->Document->Document 
Style->Document class list view.

I haven't had one of the packages that LaTeX configuration has support 
for not work.

The memoir class even has a very recent patch to it which I'll have to 
check because it does have bugs outside of LyX.

Re: problems installing on solaris

Have you thought to move the qt-x11-free-3.2.1 directory path to just qt 
so that it reads as :

Building LyX 1.3.3 on Debian against Qt.3.2.1 latest debs libqt-mt 3.2.1-6, etc.

2003-10-06 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
I built LyX 1.3.3 against the latest unstable Debs as well as against my 
own optimized configure and compiles resulting in the exact same errors.

It rules out me misconfiguring Qt for Debian--which is good so now I can 
custom compile KDE3.2 CVS for Pentium 3.

What I have discovered is that all but 2 Qt based Panes/Panels/Views 
launch when running

lyx -dbg gui.

The SpellChecker launches the following error:

Can't open /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash.

The discovery for this error is that english.hash does not exist.  doh!

I've got american.hash and british.hash which of course we know are two 
different forms of english!

Perhaps that is an error on LyX dev's part by not accounting for the 
differing types of ispell english systems?

Ironically, when running LyX 1.3.2 I notice the Spellchecker Preference 
also has English listed but since there is not English option I'd 
expect it to need to be fixed as well.

I'm guessing ispell when I updated split the two languages and didn't 
offer some sort of place holder for English.hash. 

Now to fix this in LyX 1.3.3 I hoped to launch Preferences and this is 
where I get the infamous QWidget error concerning repaint().

It's my contention that a certain method using repaint() within the 
Preferences Panel violates the Qt method for such and thus craps out.

I'm not a C++ coder so I'm not about to guess what if at all is wrong.

Here is the dbg gui last bits from attempting to launch the Spellchecker 
view to my failed attempt to launch the Preferences view.

Building LyX 1.3.3 on Debian against Qt.3.2.1 latest debs libqt-mt 3.2.1-6, etc.

2003-10-06 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
I built LyX 1.3.3 against the latest unstable Debs as well as against my 
own optimized configure and compiles resulting in the exact same errors.

It rules out me misconfiguring Qt for Debian--which is good so now I can 
custom compile KDE3.2 CVS for Pentium 3.

What I have discovered is that all but 2 Qt based Panes/Panels/Views 
launch when running

lyx -dbg gui.

The SpellChecker launches the following error:

Can't open /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash.

The discovery for this error is that english.hash does not exist.  doh!

I've got american.hash and british.hash which of course we know are two 
different forms of english!

Perhaps that is an error on LyX dev's part by not accounting for the 
differing types of ispell english systems?

Ironically, when running LyX 1.3.2 I notice the Spellchecker Preference 
also has English listed but since there is not English option I'd 
expect it to need to be fixed as well.

I'm guessing ispell when I updated split the two languages and didn't 
offer some sort of place holder for English.hash. 

Now to fix this in LyX 1.3.3 I hoped to launch Preferences and this is 
where I get the infamous QWidget error concerning repaint().

It's my contention that a certain method using repaint() within the 
Preferences Panel violates the Qt method for such and thus craps out.

I'm not a C++ coder so I'm not about to guess what if at all is wrong.

Here is the dbg gui last bits from attempting to launch the Spellchecker 
view to my failed attempt to launch the Preferences view.

Re: qt-style

2003-09-30 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
What build of Qt did you compile LyX 1.3.3 against?

Hi,

I've compiled new 1.3.3 version in a Debian Sid machine. The compilation went 
OK but LyX always shows the default qt-style not the style I've choosed as 
other KDE applications.
Does someone knows how to fix this?

The compilation options are:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 --with-frontend=qt

Thank you in advance,
