Why a processing error under Windows but not Linux?
Hi all, I have my students using LyX for their organic chemistry lab reports. I use a pretty standard installation at home under Debian, while most of them use Windows or Mac. One student in particular tried using an example file I posted for them, added material to it, then ran into problems when trying to view a pdf (or export, etc). I had him send me both the original file and his file. Both properly process for me. No one else has reported issues (yet) like this. If he generates a trivial file with a few words in it, no problem is encountered. The wording of the error message is the following: \chemgreek_drop_symbols: The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. Is it possible that his installation of TexLive is not complete? Or is there something else I'm oblivious to which would explain this? What else is important for people to be able to problem-solve this? I'm certainly not a guru at this sort of thing.
