Compiles fine on the Mac.

For those not being able to wait, I have placed a zipped Mac Universal 
Binary (without the installer) at
<http://www2.spsc.tugraz.at/people/hofbauer/lyx/LyX-1.6.0rc5.app.zip>

For what goes onto the server, we better wait for Bennett's build.

Thanks,
Konrad

Builds and runs fine on cygwin OOTB.

Builds with no errors on mingw but crashes at startup in getopt_long()
when using short options. I mean, "chktex --help" works, but "chktex -h"
crashes. Anyway, "chktex file.tex" successfully checks file.tex.

Select a .lyx-document in Finder. Choose "Open with" and then  
lyx-1.6.0-rc5
The result is that the document opens, but also that a splashscreen  
window opens. The problem is that the menubar is connected to the  
splashscreen window: If you close it (which you have to do by the  
close button on the window sinyou will have no menubar except for the  
LyX-menu.
No error messages in the Console.

Re: missing $ inserted : what does that mean?

Dear All,

Thanks for your comments!

I used James' suggestion and deleted each section. My document is more than
120 pages, so I spent a good few hours fixing the problem.

Today I found Paul's comment which was "right on the money"!  This was
exactly the cause.

For some reason, two citations in two separate footnotes went crazy. I can't
even see why in the bibtex file, but when I re-entered them as new citations
in the bibtex database, it works.

Quite annoying.  :-)

Thanks all for your help,

Erez

Re: Skim, pdfsync and child documents in LyX. Possible?

Thanks.

Yes, but I impatient.  I backup regularly. :)  If something goes seriously
wrong, the nice think about LyX is that I can still read the .lyx files in a
text editor!

I used to prefer putting everything in one file but then I started including
large png images that greatly increased the compiling times. Because I like
to frequently preview my work by compiling to pdf I was frustrated how long
it was taking so broke everything to separate chapters. In addition to
speeding up previewing, LyX also slowly eats up my RAM. Keeping. I prefer
not collapsing my images (I would if they collapsed to small image icons),
so keeping the chapters separately means I don't open all images at once.

No I hadn't really noticed this option. I love it!

A slight problem I notice with it though is that if you click on an arrow to
expand a label menu, then click on one of the references to it, the menu
then resets closing the expanded label menu. This is a bother if you want to
look at all of the references to a label in turn...

Cheers,

Chris.

Sorry, this seems to be (mostly) fixed in the latest release candidate
(rc5). Seems a bit temperamental though.

Help with a Lyx Problem - esint.sty not found

Hello Lyx Users,
My name is Greg and I am a Lyx user.  I recently installed Kubuntu v8.10
Intrepid Ibex and installed Lyx using sudo apt-get install lyx.  Lyx
installed and runs, but if I try to view my lyx work as pdf, dvi, or ps
(using the toolbar buttons), I get an error saying "LaTeX Error: File
esint.sty not found" in a popup window.  What is the problem, and what can I
do to correct this?  Thanks!
Greg

Your document tries to load the esint LaTeX package, and it is 
apparently not installed in your LaTeX distribution.  You have two 
choices:  install esint.sty (precise method depends on which LaTeX 
distro you're using); or in LyX go to Document -> Settings... -> Math
Options and uncheck "Use esint package automatically".  The latter will 
only work if you are not using any of the "goofy" integral signs that 
esint provides (double integrals, path integrals, etc.).

Maybe you do that anyhow and it is unrelated, but if you use pdflatex 
(not dvi), then LyX does not need to convert the png files for the latex 
rung, which might take some time. But then, these conversions should be 
cached anyhow (see preferences).

I see.

It might still take quite a while though ... :-(
