How interesting!

Yet Andreas says that this (identical) code works perfectly for him when using the 1.4.x version. I'm a bit baffled. Could you post the output of: $ grep -e 'HAVE_SETENV' -e 'HAVE_PUTENV' config.h Also, could you alter this function in src/support/filetools.C: void setEnvPath(string const & name, vector<string> const & env) { char const separator(os::path_separator()); std::ostringstream ss; vector<string>::const_iterator it = env.begin(); vector<string>::const_iterator const end = env.end(); for (; it != end; ++it) { if (ss.tellp() > 0) ss << separator; ss << os::external_path(*it); } - PutEnv(name + "=" + ss.str()); + bool const result = PutEnv(name + "=" + ss.str()); + lyxerr << "setEnvPath(" << name << ") == " << result << std::endl; } -- Angus
