This is a problem in building with Mandrake linux that was not present with 
lyx-1.3.0pre2 but appeared with 1.3.0.

Instead of commenting out a lot of lines in the configure script, you need to 
set more options telling it exactly where all the qt things live 

./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3 
--with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib 

Everything should then work fine. I hope this helps

How to preview-latex?

[Morgan Kelly]

Hi

is there any step-by-step guide to setting up and using preview-latex with lyx 
1.3pre2/cvs?

If not would somebody post one for the benefit of all us ordinary lyxers?

thanks

How to use AMS equation environments

[Morgan Kelly]

Hi

how do I input equations into the AMS align, alignat etc environments?

reLyX can import these fine from latex files but when I go to use the align 
environment, all I get are two blue boxes corresponding to a single equation. 
I can replicate these in new rows by CTRL-ENTER but I clearly need to 
generate more columns of these. I cannot find anything in the manuals.

What do I do?

thanks

Re: Installation failure under SuSe 6.4

[Morgan Kelly]

Mea culpa

I tried to install lyx 1.5 on my machine at home, also running suse 6.4, and it
worked perfectly. Obviously my computer at work has had too many patches,
upgrades and dodgy packages added down the years and just needs to be cleaned
off.

Many thanks to all the people who wrote and, again, apologies.

Installation failure under SuSE 6.4

[Morgan Kelly]

Hi,

Trying to install lyx 1.1.5 under SuSE 6.4 (with C++ installed) I am having
./configure fail with the message "Unable to find a working C++ compiler"

What changes do I need to make so that lyx can find crtbegin.o, cc1plus etc.

The relevant bit of config.log is below.

thanks,

Morgan
