Re: Index generation failure - bug? -SOLVED

Run makeindex on myfile.idx. 4, Run latex again on myfile.tex After doing all this, LyX does show the index when I view the file. Is this a bug I should report or am I doing something wrong? I tried setting DocumentSettingsIndexes to different processors (makeindex, xindy, and texindy) but no joy. It looks as if LyX doesn't automatically generate myfile.idx on my setup; I have to do it manually. Anthony OK, I got it working in the end by setting DocumentSettingsIndexes to makeindex. I had thought that didn't do anything but then I found I needed to save, quit and reload LyX to make it operative. The background to this is that there is currently a bug in clisp for Debian which prevents xindy from working; LyX was trying to use xindy as the default so nothing was happening.
