I am on Windows XP using Lyx 2.o. I followed option two above 

Using Excel Spreadsheet --- LaTex(plain)

and the path

c:\Program Files\Gnumeric\1.10.16\bin\ssconvert.exe
--export-type=Gnumeric_html:latex $$i $$o

I then reconfigure. 
An error remains when I select View PDF(pdflatex) and my
error is

cannot read from terminal in nonstop modes

I'm using Insert File | External Material. 
I change the select to GnumericSpreadsheet and Browse to my LongTable.xls. 
I tried moving the spreadsheet into the same directory as the Lyx file with no
different results. 

Sorry for the bother, Of course my real problem is I couldn't get more than 511
rows in a longtable on Lyx and this is my backup solution problem:)

You should not need to define a converter, LyX supports ssconvert

Is the ssconvert program in your PATH? If LyX cannot find ssconvert,
then the conversion from gnumeric to latex won't work. Because ssconvert
does that job.


Hi Helge,

I do get the same error message as Christian. How do you actually Define a
converter in the preferences of Lyx? ssconvert has been installed with gnumeric
(1.10.16), though Lyx is unable to find the path. And I am to stupid to define
exatly that particular path.


Sorry for the late answer - I have been away from the mailing list for 
some time.


There are two ways of fixing this problem.

1. Change the system PATH
=
The first is to change the PATH setting, so that ssconvert can be 
found automatically. I.e. find out what directory ssconvert resides 
in, and add that to PATH.


(You should then be able to type ssconvert
at the command line, and get a message from the program instead of an 
unknown command error.)


The change is done outside of LyX, different operating systems have 
different ways of setting up the PATH. I guess you are not on Linux, 
because on Linux, ssconvert is always in the PATH.


After this, use the menu Tools-Reconfigure in LyX, and the converter 
will be found and just work.


2. Change the preferences in LyX

The other way is to change the converter in the preferences. This way 
you won't need to mess with the system PATH setting.


In LyX, use the menu Tools-Preferences. In the dialog, click
on File Handling and then Converters.

You get a list of converters, one of them should be named
Excel spreadsheet - LaTeX(plain) click on it.

The Converter: field should now contain this:
ssconvert --export-type=Gnumeric_html:latex $$i $$o

Now, replace the word ssconvert with the complete path to the 
ssconvert binary. On my linux system, this would be

/usr/bin/ssconvert
so the complete line would become
/usr/bin/ssconvert --export-type=Gnumeric_html:latex $$i $$o
If you are on windows, this might be something like
C:\programs\gnumeric\ssconvert
instead, and then the complete line should be
C:\programs\gnumeric\ssconvert --export-type=Gnumeric_html:latex $$i $$o

Note that it probably isnt _exactly_ c:\programs\gnumeric\ssconvert
Search your disk(s) to find out exactly where the ssconvert program is 
installed - don't assume my examples are perfectly correct!


How you search the disk depends on your operating system.
Linux/mac:
open a terminal window, the command is:
find / -name ssconvert

windows:
Use some GUI utility, or run cmd.exe and give these commands:
C:
cd \
dir /s ssconvert*.*

If this yields no result, repeat but use D: instead of C:, and so on for 
the rest of the alphabet. Well, only for disks you actually have.
