Yousef, LyX can be compiled with either frontend but not with both. You
have a version that was compiled with the XForms frontend. If you want a
version compiled with the Qt frontend, then you'll either need to grab it
from some (unknown to me) gentoo archive or you'll have to grab the LyX
sources and build it yourself. As Rich says, this should be as simple as

$ ./configure --with-frontend=qt
$ make

but you'll need the Qt header files to be installed on you machine too.
Plus a bunch of other stuff.

Anyway, I hope that this makes the position clearer.

You only need to do that if you plan to modify cua.bind. This has nothing

LyX is not running with QT interface!

[Yousef Raffah]

Hello everyone,

I have just installed (USE=qt emerge lyx) LyX on my Gentoo Linux
with qt as a configure option in order to run it with the QT
interface, at least that is what I think! Unfortunately, whenever I
run lyx from the command line, it runs with the XForms interface, not
with QT!
I tried to dig the man page, mail archives, gentoo forums

Yousef,
  Start over again, but for the first step use:
./configure --with-frontend=qt
then continue with make  make install. From what you write above it
appears that gentoo provides only the xforms UI. Building it on your system
is extremely simple and -- depending on your processor speed and amount of
RAM -- provides a good excuse for coffee or a meal. :-) Or, just open
another desktop and work away.

  The UI I have on this box (Slackware-10.0, LyX-1.3.5) is:
/usr/local/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
However, for the bind file I have: /home/rshepard/.lyx/bind/cua.bind
You can tweak cua.bind or emacs.bind, or copy one to modify key bindings and
call it, for example, my.bind.
  Now, you can also run 'qtconfig' and that will allow you to play with the
window dressing for all of your qt apps. Of course, it won't apply to lyx
until you re-build it with that front end.

Rich

Hello Dr. Richard,

Thanks for your reply first of all.
In Gentoo, USE=qt is exactly like saying ./configure --with-frontend=qt
This means my lyx was built --with-frontend=qt
Does the QT interface requires running a different binary than lyx,
like lyx-qt for example or something similar?

  sure if it is related or not, when I go to EditPreferencesLook 
  FeelUser Interface I have only one option, default that is. Is it
  normal or should I have something related to qt like, qt-interface or
  something?
 
The UI I have on this box (Slackware-10.0, LyX-1.3.5) is:
 /usr/local/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
 
well I have the same file under:
/usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
But does it relate to using XForms instead of QT interface?
Forgive me but I'm totally n00b to LyX, LaTeX and TeX! :)

 However, for the bind file I have: /home/rshepard/.lyx/bind/cua.bind
 You can tweak cua.bind or emacs.bind, or copy one to modify key bindings and
 call it, for example, my.bind.
 
I don't have anything under ~/.lyx/bind/

Now, you can also run 'qtconfig' and that will allow you to play with the
 window dressing for all of your qt apps. Of course, it won't apply to lyx

I guess I should keep this option for later but thanks  a lot for
refering to it :)

Yousef,
  No. It should run /usr/local/bin/lyx. Perhaps there is a glitch with the
gentoo build script. Or, ... do you have the latest qt installed on your
system? If it's not present then the build may use xforms.
  Do you have an output file that shows the results of the configuration and

  Nope. It contains the menu and toolbar contents. It's a text file so you
can look at the contents with any text editor.
Forgive me but I'm totally n00b to LyX, LaTeX and TeX! :)
  No problem! We were all new to it at some time. Your problem with the
wrong interface is a configuration error so that's where to start looking.
I don't have anything under ~/.lyx/bind/
  You'll need to copy one of the defaults to there. In my case they're
located at:
/usr/local/lyx-1.3.5/lib/bind/cua.bind
/usr/local/share/lyx/bind/cua.bind
  Apparently gentoo installs applications in /usr rather than /usr/local so
look there.

like lyx-qt for example or something similar?

  sure if it is related or not, when I go to EditPreferencesLook 
  FeelUser Interface I have only one option, default that is. Is it
  normal or should I have something related to qt like, qt-interface or
  something?
 
The UI I have on this box (Slackware-10.0, LyX-1.3.5) is:
 /usr/local/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
 
well I have the same file under:
/usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
But does it relate to using XForms instead of QT interface?
Forgive me but I'm totally n00b to LyX, LaTeX and TeX! :)

 However, for the bind file I have: /home/rshepard/.lyx/bind/cua.bind
 You can tweak cua.bind or emacs.bind, or copy one to modify key bindings and
 call it, for example, my.bind.
 
I don't have anything under ~/.lyx/bind/

Now, you can also run 'qtconfig' and that will allow you to play with the
 window dressing for all of your qt apps. Of course, it won't apply to lyx
 until you re-build it with that front end.
 
I guess I should keep this option for later but thanks  a lot for
refering to it :)

Yousef,
  No. It should run /usr/local/bin/lyx. Perhaps there is a glitch with the
gentoo build script. Or, ... do you have the latest qt installed on your
system? If it's not present then the build may use xforms.

  Nope. It contains the menu and toolbar contents. It's a text file so you
can look at the contents with any text editor.

  No problem! We were all new to it at some time. Your problem with the
wrong interface is a configuration error so that's where to start looking.
I don't have anything under ~/.lyx/bind/
  You'll need to copy one of the defaults to there. In my case they're
located at:
/usr/local/lyx-1.3.5/lib/bind/cua.bind
/usr/local/share/lyx/bind/cua.bind
  Apparently gentoo installs applications in /usr rather than /usr/local so
look there.

Dear Dr. Richard,

Yes I have the latest QT installed, I'm running different QT
applications such as K3b for example!

Do you have an output file that shows the results of the configuration and
 build steps? If so, look to see that the configuration found everything it
 needed. I've not used gentoo so I don't know the steps involved.
 
no I don't have one, or maybe I don't know where to look for it!

I copied cua.bind from /usr/share/lyx/bind/cua.bind to ~/.lyx/bind/
I believe gentoo installs it under /usr/share/lyx but again that
shouldn't make a difference with the QT interface :(

LyX is not running with QT interface!

[Yousef Raffah]

Hello everyone,

I have just installed (USE="qt" emerge lyx) LyX on my Gentoo Linux
with qt as a configure option in order to run it with the QT
interface, at least that is what I think! Unfortunately, whenever I
run lyx from the command line, it runs with the XForms interface, not
with QT!
I tried to dig the man page, mail archives, gentoo forums
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=273397) but couldn't get an
answer! I don't know how to run LyX with QT interface.
Another thing, not sure if it is related or not, when I go to
"Edit>Preferences>Look & Feel>User Interface" I have only one option,
"default" that is. Is it normal or should I have something related to
qt like, "qt-interface" or something?

Thanks in advance

Yousef,
  Start over again, but for the first step use:
./configure --with-frontend=qt
then continue with make && make install. From what you write above it
appears that gentoo provides only the xforms UI. Building it on your system
is extremely simple and -- depending on your processor speed and amount of
RAM -- provides a good excuse for coffee or a meal. :-) Or, just open
another desktop and work away.

Hello Dr. Richard,

Thanks for your reply first of all.
In Gentoo, USE="qt" is exactly like saying ./configure --with-frontend=qt
This means my lyx was built --with-frontend=qt
Does the QT interface requires running a different binary than "lyx",
like "lyx-qt" for example or something similar?
