adding a bibliography style


Hi!

I've added IEEEtran.bst to /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/base,
ran texhash and reconfigured Lyx but the IEEEtran style still 
does not appear in the menu of the bibliography styles in 
Lyx (1.3.2 on RH 9). Did I miss anything? 

Thanks,

                                   myriam

Problems with the title and Page-numbering

Hello.
I'm writing my Diplomarbeit with Lyx (the windows port). But I have some 
problems to costumizing the document format. Most of all, I can't get 
the title-page look the right way. In the report(koma-script) class are 
some environments, which may be usefull, but all of them are only 
one-line. When I mark more than one line with, say 'Author', only the 
last line appears in the dvi document.  So here ist a scheme of the 
title-page which I have to use, beginning every line with the style of 
the line:

title:    My Diplom Title
subtitle:    A Diplomarbeit at the University of Bielefeld
date:    March 2004
author:    Tim Scheele
(space)
my workgroup and stuff:   guide / examiner:
first guide:   Prof. Dr. ....
second guide:    Dr....
address:   University of Bielefeld
                Technische Fakultät

                Universitätsstr. 25
                33615 Bielefeld

I tried to add a new Style into the srcreprt.layout file:
# ScdPublishers style definition
Style ScdPublishers
  CopyStyle             Author
  LatexName             scdpublishers
End

Well, I do not understand a lot of the frontends. I am just working with 
KDE, so I supposed, it must be a qt-frontend. Does this contribute to 
the understanding of my problem?

My first names "are" Tibor- Attila, family name Anca, age .... :-)

Problems with pdf ans ps - Export

Hello,
I have some Problems, I don't really understand. I'm writing my thesis with 
Lyx, it is a big document with 300 pages and many *.eps images (diagrams and 
tables).

When I produce a pdf, everything is fine. When I need to send a part of the 
pdf so my friends to read the document, there are several ways to do it. But 
all of them are buggy.

When I try to print from acrobat to kprinter's pdf-printer, there is this 
error-message: "/undefined filename in pdf" or there is a conflict with 
Qt-symbols (?). But it does never produce a new file.

When I try to produce a ps from LyX, there are no Images at all in the 
document, they are just missing (they are not missing in the pdf).

When I say, ok. doesn't matter, and I produce a ps and use psselect afterwards 
to produce a part of it and in a third step make ps2pdf to produce my pdf. 
The resulting pdf can't be read with acroread (it is not a pdf-document tells 
acreread)

So there are a couple of different problems with the pdf-Workflow (there are 
just more under Linux, I don't tell now). Has anybody ideas what's the 
problem with printing pdf from pdf, why there are no *eps in the ps-output of 
lyx or why psselect produces defect postscript files? 

Or maybe there are better ways to get a part of a lyx-document as pdf?

Thanks
Tara

Hi, Jeremy. Extracting the error itself:
../../../../boost/boost/detail/limits.hpp:57:2: #error The file 
boost/detail/limits.hpp needs to be set up for your CPU type.

You need to add something to the #if block in this file.

#if defined(big endian architecture 1) || 
    defined(big endian architecture 2)
#define BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN
#elif defined(little endian architecture 1) ||
      defined(little endian architecture 2)
#define BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN
#else
#error The file boost/detail/limits.hpp needs to be set up for your 
CPU type.
#endif

Your task is to find the macro identifier used by your Itanium 
machine.

Regards,

No. If you compile from source, the default frontend (i.e. the toolkit LyX 
uses for its widgets) is xforms. If you compile --with-frontend=qt (and, on 
SuSE, --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3), then LyX uses the qt frontend.
It's a different look'n'feel (and a matter of taste). Compare those 
screenshots:
http://www.lyx.org/about/screenshots.php3 (qt frontend)
http://www.lyx.org/about/lgt-1.0/lgt.html (xforms frontend)

> Does this contribute to

Maybe (if it's an xforms specific problem). I'll check that (building against 
xforms now).

I see. Thanks, Tibor-Attila.

It is. I can reproduce your problem with the xforms frontend. So this is a 
bug. I'll try to investigate further.

I would propose to use the book(koma-script) class.

Don't mark all lines. Set the cursor in the first line and choose your environment. For multiple lines use
Strg-Enter to receive a linebreak, see the example below.

One solution is to number the first pages with roman numbers, look at the example. (When you use the package
hyperref don't forget to use the option 'pdfpagelabels'.)
Another one is to play with the page counters, look at Herberts page:
http://latex.s-v-p.de/

Here an example lyx-file:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 221
\textclass scrbook
\options fleqn
\language ngerman
\inputencoding auto
\fontscheme ae
\graphics default
