Re: Calculations in lyx

Hello,

It would be nice to have the possibility of making calculations in lyx. 

From time to time I make some table in excel or openoffice with some 
calculations and then I copy the numbers to lyx. Then I update something 
on the table and I have to update also my document.

I saw that tex has some computation features but only fixed point.

It would be great to have some (c like) computing in lyx with variables and
putting in some inset printf("%5.3f", myvariable) and when you close the 
inset the result appears and gets updated every time you save or export 
the document.

Thanks in advance,
Pietro

Peter, could you add a note about those cmake changes in status.16x 
(BUILD/INSTALLATION section) when you're done with this?

I already have looked for CHANGES or so but only found the status.16x with
the empty build/install section. I will update it.

One option is to use R/Sweave, for which LyX 2.0 has out-of-the-box
support. Another is to use one of the various CAS supported by LyX.
Search the list archives and the web for more info.

Problems compiling lyx with Fedora-13 (1.6.x)

Hi,
	I had this problem before but being busy I did not report it.

	One of the features of F-13 is 
http://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=UnderstandingDSOLinkChange

This means that lyx does not compile because when linking with qt we need to 
pass -lX11 since qt uses symbols from X11.

The proposed fix (by Rex Dieter) is here:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/lyx/F-13/lyx-1.6.6-
ImplicitDSOLinking_X11.patch

The problem seems to be that at the point where X_LIBS is used it is not 
defined (using the autoconf/automake chain).

The workaround for the moment is to call

make X_LIBS='-lX11'

The request for autoconf gurus is to help us to have X_LIBS defined where it 
is used.

Regards,
--

Personally, I think that having the thesaurus location definition near
the point where it is used is a good thing. I would even get rid of the
variable/method altogether and just use "thes" twice.

This bug is also known in debian
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555580

It is not the reason. With the new DSO thing linking against qt does
_not_ require to link against X11, and this is actually our problem. We
explicitely use X11 calls for some weird event ignoring in
GuiWorkArea.cpp, which fixes AFAICS the following bug
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/3320

Before trying to add the -lX11 in autotools, let's see what we can do
about the actual code. It reads:

	// do nothing if there are other events
	// (the auto repeated events come too fast)
	// \todo FIXME: remove hard coded Qt keys, process the key binding
#ifdef Q_WS_X11
	if (XEventsQueued(QX11Info::display(), 0) > 1 && ev->isAutoRepeat()
			&& (Qt::Key_PageDown || Qt::Key_PageUp)) {
		LYXERR(Debug::KEY, "system is busy: scroll key event ignored");
