I have managed to export the EmbeddedObjects.lyx file as
PDF(pdf2latex) and the images appear in the PDF document.
I also created a new document, imported a .jpg file and was
able to preview it as PDF, and then print it out. So in
regard to my previous post, everything I need seems to be
installed.
What threw me was the message at the top of the
EmbeddedObjects.lyx file telling me that things would not
work without certain scripts. I thought that Lyx had checked
my configuration and determined that there was missing
functionality.
Looking at the LyX log I see that most, if not all of those
programs are installed. But they do not appear in LyX's
Latex configuration page. I'm new to this so please bear
with me!
I want to print out all the Help documentation that comes
with Lyx.
Is there any way to set the document margin sizes in Lyx to
my own custom values? The default values are quite large and
seem to be wasting alot of paper.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts

Subject: Missing packages/programs for 1.5.6?
Hi everyone. I'm using LyX 1.5.6 on Fedora 8. I'm really looking forward
to producing some cool PDF documentation using Lyx.
I appear to have programs missing that are not allowing me to export the
Lyx documentation to PDF format.
I loaded the EmbeddedObjects.lyx document into lyx, and tried to view it
as PDF, without success. I enclose a screenshot showing the
EmbeddedObjects.lyx document in Lyx.
The following programs are missing:
arydshln
colortbl
marginnote
sidecap
This is a default installation from the Fedora repositories using Smart
Package Manager.
What do I need to do to get the missing packages/programs so I can export
my lyx docs with embedded images to PDF? I looked through the packages
for anything to do with 'tex', but cannot find the above programs.
I want to write some PDF documentation with embedded images.
Fedora 8 uses tetex: 'TeTeX is an implementation of TeX for Linux or UNIX
systems.'
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
