I did that for lyx-1.2.3 and lyx-1.3.2. Precisely I wrote
\format "pdf4" "pdf" "PDF (vlatex)" "" (in the FORMATS SECTION)
and
\converter "latex" "pdf4" "/usr/local/vtex/bin/vlatex $$i" "latex" (in the CONVERTERS
SECTION)
With lyx-1.2.3 all is fine. But with lyx-1.3.2, if there is a latex error in the
document, lyx crashes with the following output:
lyx: /usr/include/g++-3/std/bastring.cc:126: basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>
&basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>::replace (unsigned int, unsigned int, const
basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> &, unsigned int, unsigned int) [with charT =
char, traits = string_char_traits<char>, Allocator = __default_alloc_template<true,
0>]: l'assertion `!(pos2 > len2)' a échoué.
/home/pcharpen/bin/monlyxqt: line 6: 8816 Abandon
Why?
Ph. C.
More precisely:
the test was made on a RedHat-7.2. Running lyx-1.3.2 with "-dbg latex" gives (with a
\usepackage{al} in the preamble):
Log line: ! LaTeX Error: File `al.sty' not found.
lyx: /usr/include/g++-3/std/bastring.cc:126: basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>
&basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>::replace (unsigned int, unsigned int, const
basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> &, unsigned int, unsigned int) [with charT =
char, traits = string_char_traits<char>, Allocator = __default_alloc_template<true,
0>]: l'assertion `!(pos2 > len2)' a échoué.
Abandon
The same test on a RedHat-8.0 gives, for BOTH lyx-1.2.3 and lyx-1.3.2, a crash of lyx
with:
Log line: ! LaTeX Error: File `al.sty' not found.
Abandon
Is this a bug in LyX?
Ph. C.
