Hi,
Sh.exe is in the path for me. I am not sure whether this is the problem,
but when I first installed lyx 1.3.6, I had 1.3.5 already installed. But
subsequently, I uninstalled everything and started from scratch.
There's no conflict between 1.3.5 and 1.3.6.
Since
it didn't work even then, the last time around, I went to registry and
deleted all the references to lyx and mys and started all over again.
I assume that means reinstalling both msys and 1.3.6.
Still no Tex information.
Another thing is: When I run msys from the dos prompt window, I get the
following message
C:\Documents and Settings\Sreekumar>msys
Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary -- aborting.
Press any key to continue . . .
Don't know if these issues are related.
No. I get the same thing, so I took a look at the msys.bat batch file.
Don't ask me why, but it's written so as to work only if it's started
from the parent of the bin directory (C:\Program Files\msys\1.0 in a
default installation).
Sorry, I should have read your first post more carefully. Turns out
this is a bug in the 1.3.6 port. Looks like someone forgot to tweak the
scanning commands to allow spaces in the path. I'll post this to
bugzilla. Meanwhile, as far as I can tell, there shouldn't be any
problem actually using your various text classes, .bst files etc.; you
just won't be able to list them in View->TeX Information.
