Re: off topic: Is there a lyx user in Lund, Sweden?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Wolfgang,

Anders is right, it's that simple and does not need assistance :-)-O
What he forgot is that you must run Tools - Reconfigure after
installation and then Quit and start LyX again.


If the individual is computer literate, and is concerned about disk
space, I would install the Basic package from the same web site however,
and then on occasion install missing packages with the tlmgr
(there is a Tex Live Utility).

I did that on my airbook and it works so well, that I do same on both
the iMac at home and at the practice. Synchronization needs a little
thought but is easy with something like

tlmgr info|grep ^i|awk '{print \$2}'|sed s/://g

giving all installed files which one feeds into the tlmgr on the other host.

And after each installation of a package that LyX needs to know about,
such as fonts. Linux Libertine does not come by default in the Basic for
example  but installs with the tlmgr. LyX then needs a Reconfigure to
become aware of it.

If you start from scratch writing LyX documents it's less of a hassle
because you are aware of what specific LateX packages you include and
thus must install and make available. Using an existing document
sometimes gives a cryptic error, but the log files then show the missing
package.

And of course there is this newsgroup where one can ask :-)-O

Dear Påvel,

Lars Olof told me that you came to his department at the university of Lund  
although you live in another city. He is very glad that you installed Lyx 
at his Mac and will use it for our contributing book chapter. Hopefully  he 
starts to like Lyx and perhaps uses it for his own work and the manuscripts 
of the other chapters. 

I would like to thank you very much for your help. I have never experienced 
such a helpful mailing list!
