Note also that if your xforms library is new enough (0.89.x, x>= about 5), then your config.h file in the src directory will have #define HAVE_FLIMAGE_DUP 1 #define HAVE_FLIMAGE_ENABLE_PS 1 #define HAVE_FLIMAGE_TO_PIXMAP 1 In which case, you'll be using the image loading routines that come with xforms rather than the crappy hack I wrote! In which case, you don't need to convert to XPM at all; just stop at PPM (and delete all those converters to XPM!) Moreover, if you run lyx -dbg graphics, you'll discover that you can load many formats natively and don't need converters at all. Not EPS though. Angus
