Hi,
I've found a work around for the problem described below. In file
buffer.C, section Buffer:makeLaTeXFile, "fwrite" is used to write
out the TeX file. On our system (see below) this silently fails,
producing no output. As a work around, I replaced the "fwrite" with
"printf". That seems to work fine.
Here are differences between the modified and original buffer.C from
lyx-1.0.4pre4.
