Compilation error with Lyx 1.4.1

[Carine Simon]

Hello,

I’ve just installed Lyx 1.4.1 under Windows XP with
lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe . I
am using the sh.exe under cygwin, the Python 2.4, the gs8.51 and
ImageMagick6.7 Q16. 
I can start Lyx with no problem and download a file. But when I want to
compile it with DVI from “edit” menu, I’ve got the following error:
---
Subsistema MS-DOS de 16 bits
---
5367625/3432
La CPU NTVDM ha encontrado una instrucción no permitida. (CPU NTVDM has
found an unallowed instruction)
CS:0fa9 IP:21c6 OP:63 6c 61 64 6f Elija Cerrar para finalizar la
aplicación.

And then 


Would you know where it can come from?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Carine.

Hello,

my Spanish is more than a little rusty, so I might be dead wrong. The
crash stems from the fact that Windows things that it has found an
unallowed instruction. So the question is what kind of CPU are you
running on. I am fairly certain that the build is not optimized for
anything newer but a P5, so you are probably in the clear. If that is the
case it is very probable that your hardware could habe some defect, i.e.
some bits in your memory might be defective, so take something like
Memtest and let it run on your box to be sure that it is not a
memory/hardware problem.

If it isn't flaky hardware you might need to take a look at cygwin or even
Windows XP itself.

Several questions to start:

1.  Does it happen with more than one document?

2.  Does it happen if you click View-DraftDVI rather than View-DVI? 
(View-DraftDVI will not display images, but should display the rest of 
the document.)


3.  What DVI viewer are you using? (If you are using MiKTeX, then 
probably the viewer is yap.)


4.  If you export a document with File-Export-LaTeX, then open a DOS 
window and run latex against the file, does it produce a DVI file, and 
can you view that file?

Yes, I know. The native version of LyX does not understand symlinks
and is happily trying to execute the /bin/python.exe symlink to the real
python, which is /bin/python2.4.exe, as if it really was an executable
file.

You have two options:

1) Put the the python.bat script I paste at the end in the LyX\bin
   directory.

2) Use instead the cygwin version of LyX you can find here:
   ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/lyx-1.4.1-cygwin.tar.gz

If you use MikTeX, then 1) is the best option. If you use the cygwin tetex,
then you want option 2), as tetex is not currently supported by the native
version of LyX (complain with the LyX developers for that).

I think LyX needs to use the MSys version of sh.exe
not the Cygwin version, when installing LyX.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download

I think the error is because a script isn't running right
and Windows gives a very general error message, misidentifying
some unknown process as 16bit process not working (technically).

If you have Cygwin fully installed, there is a nice Windows
version, lyx-1.4.1-cygwin.tar.gz file at (contains readme ) 
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1


From the command line can you build a dvi file with
latex test.tex should produce test.dvi
can you view test.dvi with yap test.dvi (or xdvi test.dvi)?

If the above doesn't work, then the problem is in your Latex
installation, not LyX. If it does work, then try fixing LyX:

What you could do is uninstall LyX including ...\Application Data\
Lyx\ Install Msys and put it in the Windows Path statement ahead
of Cygwin (move Cygwin to the end of your Path statement).
The reinstall LyX. Save anything important first in those folders.

Nope, this is more of an error message which comes from Windows
misidentifying a Linux type command as a Windows 16 bit command.
It is mainly due to sh.exe or sed.exe from Cygwin. I've been there.

The system needs Msys,

From the command line can you build a dvi file with
"latex test.tex" should produce test.dvi
can you view test.dvi with "yap test.dvi" (or xdvi test.dvi)?

If the above doesn't work, then the problem is in your Latex
installation, not LyX. If it does work, then try fixing LyX:

What you could do is uninstall LyX including ...\Application Data\
Lyx\ Install Msys and put it in the Windows Path statement ahead
of Cygwin (move Cygwin to the end of your Path statement).
The reinstall LyX. Save anything important first in those folders.

Hello,

my Spanish is more than a little rusty, so I might be dead wrong. The
crash stems from the fact that Windows things that it has found an
"unallowed instruction". So the question is what kind of CPU are you
running on. I am fairly certain that the build is not optimized for
anything newer but a P5, so you are probably in the clear. If that is the
case it is very probable that your hardware could habe some defect, i.e.
some bits in your memory might be defective, so take something like
Memtest and let it run on your box to be sure that it is not a
memory/hardware problem.

If it isn't flaky hardware you might need to take a look at cygwin or even
Windows XP itself.



Nope, this is more of an error message which comes from Windows
misidentifying a Linux type command as a Windows 16 bit command.
It is mainly due to sh.exe or sed.exe from Cygwin. I've been there.

The system needs Msys,
