Don't do that! If you do, you won't find any error and you're likely to screw up your TeX. Please listen to what others have tried to tell you, and try to find out where your error is. It is not TeX's fault, for sure! Although one might blame it for obscure error messages dating back to the "dark ages" of mainframes, VaXen etc... Good luck - Bon chance!

If you were to run the following Python program (call it forkbomb.py): === #!/usr/bin/python def fork(number): print number # if number > 100: # return fork(number+1) fork(1) === You get the following error message: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded Does that mean you should increase Python's recursion depth? No way. You could increase it to a million, and it would simply take the program another second or so to bomb. The recursion depth error is caused by the program being bad -- specifically that it has nothing to tell it when to quit recursing (because those two lines are commented out). I'd go ten to one that this is similar to what is happening in your document -- something in your document is getting run over and over again until TeX breaks, and that's happening because there's something wrong with your program. But I could be wrong. So test my hypothesis like this. Make a LyX document, with no fonts or styles or document preamble or layout file, that is 50 times the size of the document that's bombing. Using LyX and Vim, I just created a 31MB LyX file. It took about 10 seconds to load it, and about 1.5 minutes to compile it. It's 9140 pages long, full of text.

What wizard ? How to get it ? If you really want to do this, then you should look in your texmf.cnf file and modify the value of stack_size. However, as several people have said, that may well not help. This error can be caused by all kinds of weird things that cause TeX to go into some kind of loop. Richard

Hi Robert, Every time I've seen that message, it's been caused by an error on my part, not a document that was too big or anything like that. I solve these in about 10 minutes as follows: * Back up the original document. * Keep dividing by half the remaining doc until the problem goes away * Keep adding parts until it comes back * Repeat last two steps til you find the paragraph causing the error * Remove all of the document except the bad paragraph * Keep dividing the paragraph in half until the problem goes away, or until a 1 word paragraph still causes the problem After narrowing it down that finely, the root cause should be obvious, and you can fix it. Keep in mind if you get it down to one word and that word has no environment or character style associated with it, the problem is probably in the document preamble or the layout file (if you have one). In general, once you have a tiny document in which you can at will toggle the symptom, you've pretty much pinpointed the root cause. This sounds like a big hassle, it's usually the quickest way to find the problem. And what I like about it is I don't have to know anything about LyX or LaTeX. And if I *still* can't figure it out, I can email the tiny document to the LyX people and they'll know instantly what's wrong.

Re: Tex capacity exceeded
Paul's suggestion is certainly worthy of a try. However, sometimes the problem is a problem of the whole, rather than of the sum of the parts. I mean this: When I was finishing up my thesis, I ran into various TeX capacity problems, none of which would occur when each chapter (appendix, etc.) was compiled separately, nor when all but one were put together. It didn't matter which I removed, the result would compile, but all together wouldn't. Taking out the TOC, too, fixed things, or the bibliography, or the index. I ended up concluding that I was running into some problem with the sum of the TOC + chapters + reference list(s) + appendices + index, and only fixed it by collecting at least two of my main chapters into a single appendix. It wasn't ideal, but I could find no other way around the problem. I hear that there are a few TeX replacements (or "modern" versions) which don't have these esoteric limits to them, but don't know of their status. Does anyone have suggestions of some systems I could research? C.O. === If that's not the source of the memory problem, you might try a divide-and-conquer approach.

A very common reason {, e.g. somewhere in the preamble
(remember, the braces in the main text are caref for by LyX, whereas
in the preamble you still need all your attention...
Do you have the LaTeX class, that belongs to the template??
Maybe some LaTeX command is redefined there...
(IMHO, templates that are made for non-standard LaTeX classes should
tell on a prominent place that they need class ... (and where to get it).
Actually, I'd like to have them in a directory different from the one that
gets opened with File>New_from_template (the one with
the templates that work out of the box).)

Re: TeX capacity exceeded
I'm no wizard, but this worked for me in a similar situation, so fingers crossed it might work for you too Change the input stack size by editing your texmf.cnf file. Mine is in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, but yours might be different. Look in that file for the line that says: stack_size=300 and change it to something bigger ( I don't know how much! ). The wizardry bit is that you have to run `fmtutil -all' to update your TeX installation to use the new stack_size. Incidentally, my Debian distribution says I'm not allowed to edit texmf.cnf directly, I have to edit stack_size in the file /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath/ and then run update-texmf before I run fmtutil.

A float cannot be broken over more pages, so if you have a multipage tabular (long table), then you cannot put it into a float. If you have the tabular outside the float then it should break correctly over all pages (if you check long table on). Greets Jürgen P.S.: If you need the floats (because you would like to number you tabulars then try to put in TeX-Mode a \showpage command between the single table-floats, this forces LaTeX to show the float now and not wait till it processed all of them which then produces the overflow. -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ Dr. Jürgen Vigna E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gerbergasse 60Tel:+39-0471-450260 I-39100 Bozen Fax:+39-0471-970042 ITALY Web:http://www.sad.it/~jug Now I think I just reached the state of HYPERTENSION that comes JUST BEFORE you see the TOTAL at the SAFEWAY CHECKOUT COUNTER! -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._

Re: !TeX capacity exceeded, sorry -- HELP!
Jean-Marc,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Here is what I have done. I have one very large table.
I wanted to place it in one table float. But when I
check long table (to cause it to break across pages),
it never splits across pages. So instead I made 8
separate tables by hand. After doing this, when I tried
to create a Postscript view, I only got two pages
instead of 18 pages. Then I looked at the log to see
what was happening. So now I've broken the document
into three parts which is OK but not ideal.
I hope that if I don't use the table float, the table
will break across pages.

Sorry.
%Memo for Comsat by N. Becker 11/29/88
%Will make a cover page with Memorandum, task code, date, from, to,
%subject at the top. Below will be cover text. At the bottom will
%be the distribution list. No other text will appear on this page,
%and the next page will be numbered 1.
%
%Usage: Before any other printable text,
% Set to, from, subject, date, taskcode, and distr. list using
% macros \setto{}, \setfrom{}, \setsubject{}, \setdate{},
% \settaskcode{}, and \setdistr{}. Each of these is optional!
% The date will default to \today. Others will simply not be
% present if not specified. Text on the cover is set by
% \setcover{}.
% inputs to \setdistr{} are delimited by \\ like:
% \setdist{me\\you\\anyoneelseyoucanthinkof}
% The page will be produced by the macro \makecover.
%added 12/13:
% if \setcover is used only cover text will be on first page,
% remaining text will be forced to subsequent pages. If
% \setcover is not used text will not be forced to subsequent
% pages.
%added 10/9/90:
% The text for distribution header is defined by the macro
% \Distribution. The default is `cc:'.
