Yes, that was it!! Thanks a lot.. the problem with the crash in 1.3.0cvs (when including a .fig directly using external material) still remains.. so Wayan, I'm attaching a .fig file here and this is the error that 1.3.0cvs gives when it crashes: Received unhandled X11 event Type: 13 Target: 0x3c0009c lyx: SIGFPE signal caught LyX: Attempting to save document newfile4.lyx /root/newfile4.lyx.emergency Save seems successful. Phew. Bye. Segmentation fault The crash occurs when I try to view the DVI output after I include a fig file as "External Material".. I'm cc'ing the devel group also... Thanks, nirmal
