Re: Image Magick on Windows 2000
Hello Uwe, I followed your instructions and uninstalled Ghostscript and Image Magick. I reinstalled Ghostscript 8.50 and Image Magick 6.1.9 and ended up with the same problem I had originally. I could view .jpg files in LyX but not .eps or .pdf. I could used Image Magick's convert program successfully from the command line though and could view .eps and .pdf using Image Magick's Display program. I then followed Angus Leeming's advice and removed the last section of the convertDefault.sh file. This fixed my problem! I can now view .eps and .pdf files within LyX. The problem is quite reproduceable - whith the original convertDefault.sh the problem occurs, with the modified convertDefault.sh everything appears to be working fine. Thanks for your help.

Re: Viewing eps/pdf within LyXWin on Windows 2000
Hi Uwe, Thanks again for your reply. I'm still having a few problems. On the weekend (using Image Magick version 6.1.9) I turned my computer on, started LyX and everything worked fine - I could view .eps and .eps files within LyX. I turned my computer off though and came back a few hours later and it wasn't working again - very strange ! To try and fix the problem I tried a different version of Ghostscript. I tried GNU Ghostscript 7.05 (this was recommended on the Image Magick website). However now I can't get Image Magick to work properly. If I try to view .eps or .pdf images using Image Magick's Display program I get an error. I get the same error using covert from the command line; C:\Documents\graphicsconvert eps:aulogo.eps ppm:test.ppm convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format `aulogo.eps'. convert.exe: missing an image filename `ppm:test.ppm'. Obviously I need to sort out Image Magick before worrying about LyX. I tried to unintsall Image Magick (via Add/Remove programs) and reinstall it several times but it didn't help. I also tried a slightly older version of Image Magick but they are all giving me the same problem. I think that maybe changing my Ghostscript version has messed Image Magick up. Even when I uninstall Image Magick I can still find references to it in the registry. I think that Image Magick may be trying to use the version of Ghostscript that I no longer have installed. I want to get rid of Image Magick (and possibly Ghostscript) completely so that I can start afresh and install the versions which you are using successfully together. Any ideas ?? Maybe I will send a more general email to the list about Image Magick on Windows 2000 Thanks again in advance Nick Burgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was originally using Image Magick 6.0.2 (I think).

Re: Viewing eps/pdf within LyXWin on Windows 2000
Thanks for your response Uwe,
I was originally using Image Magick 6.0.2 (I think). I upgraded it to
6.1.9 but I am still having the same problem!
I am using AFPL Ghostscript 8.50 and LyXWin 1.3.5 win32 nc.
- I can view .jpg and .ppm images inside LyX
- I can not view .eps or .pdf images inside LyX
- I can view the DVI, PDF(pdflatex)and Postscript outputs fine (but not
the PDF (dvipdfm) output)
I can run convert from the command line ("convert eps:c:\aulogo.eps
ppm:c:\test.ppm"), and was able to convert the .eps image that LyX was
having trouble with to a .ppm
Any more ideas on what might be wrong??
I ran LyX in graphics debug mode and I have included the output at the end
of this email.
Thanks in advance

Viewing eps/pdf within LyXWin on Windows 2000
Hello All,
I have installed LyXWin ((lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe) on Windows 2000
following the instructions on the LyW WikiWiki LyX.WindowsSetup webpage.
Despite quite a bit of fiddling around I cant get .eps or .pdf files to
display within LyX when I insert them into a document. When I insert such
a figure I get the message Error conveting to loadable format in the box
where the picture should be displayed. The output DVI is fine though.
When running LyX in debug mode I can see that the problem is
C:/lyx/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR
Unable to find file C:/lyx/tmp/lyx_tmpdir1056a00432/aulogo1056a00432.ppm
If I understand it correctly LyX uses ImageMagick (convert) which uses
Ghostscript to display .eps and .pdf images within LyX. When I reconfigure
LyX I can see that it does not see to find gs.

It seems that it cant find the Postscript interpreter gs. Shouldnt
LyXWin be looking for gswin32 anyway? (The location of gswin32 is in the
path). I have included the whole reconfigure output at the end of this
email.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Re: lyx2lyx on LyXWin
Hello LyX Users, Im trying to get LyXWin running on Windows 2000. I have installed lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe according to the instructions on the LyX WikiWiki LyX.WindowsSetup webpage. After a bit of fiddling around all appeared to be working OK. I seem to be able to create, view etc new documents but I get an error when I try to open some of my older thesis chapters which were created in an older version of LyX (1.1.6 fix 3). When I try to open those files I get an error saying: ERROR! An error occurred while running the converstion script. I have run LyX in the debugging mode from a command prompt to see what is going on and it seems that LyX is unable to run lyx2lyx. The file C:\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx exists (4.95 KB) but LyX does not seem to be able to run it. I tried installing a newer version of sed.exe but LyX did not appear to be able to find the newer version of sed. I have included the debugging output at the end of this email. Does anyone know what I can do to get lyx2lyx working as I really need to open and use my older documents?

Re: lyx2lyx on LyXWin
Hello LyX Users, Im trying to get LyXWin running on Windows 2000. I have installed lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe according to the instructions on the LyX WikiWiki LyX.WindowsSetup webpage. After a bit of fiddling around all appeared to be working OK. I seem to be able to create, view etc new documents but I get an error when I try to open some of my older thesis chapters which were created in an older version of LyX (1.1.6 fix 3). When I try to open those files I get an error saying: ERROR! An error occurred while running the converstion script. I have run LyX in the debugging mode from a command prompt to see what is going on and it seems that LyX is unable to run lyx2lyx. The file C:\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx exists (4.95 KB) but LyX does not seem to be able to run it. I tried installing a newer version of sed.exe but LyX did not appear to be able to find the newer version of sed. I have included the debugging output at the end of this email. Does anyone know what I can do to get lyx2lyx working as I really need to open and use my older documents? Please cc: any responses directly to me as I am currently not subscribed to the users list as I only have access to webmail at the moment. Many thanks in advance.
