Hello,
I'm having a problem opening a .lyx file -- the program crashes
immediately and dumps the core. I was working on a rather important file
continuously for a long time, saving every once in awhile, and now
suddenly when I have to start lyx up again and load the file to continue
writing, it just chokes, both on the .lyx and the backup .lyx~ files.
I'm working on a university system and was unable to find the source or
the non-stripped executable to run the backtrace. However, for me,
recreating the problem was much too easy -- just happens every time the
file is attempted to be loaded. The version is 0.12.0 BETA, Tue Feb. 3,
1998.
The accompanying error messages are the following:
Math parse error: unexpected '_'
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known bugs'
under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report. Thanks!
Bye.
lyx: 24759 Abort(coredump)
As I found from browsing your archive, newer versions of lyx than mine are
out there, but I'm sort of stuck to the one installed on the network here,
and second, the problem doesn't look like simply upgrading would do it...?
If anybody has ideas on how to proceed, I'd be happy for any suggestions.
The file I'm having trouble with is my dissertation stuff, so I'm a little
hesitant to just hang it up here, but I would happy to attach it to a
private email, ditto for the core file it that should be useful.
Please reply to me as well, not only to the list (I'm not
subscribed). Thanks for any feedback,
Andres
