just like with LyX, every version has its own file format :-)
This is one of the reasons why I can't give support for TeXLive. The
there is no reason to support old TeXLive versions.
I tried to use TeXLive together with my LyX installer but failed.
- TeXLive comes with its own (very old) Ghostscript version 7.07, that
is incompatible with the version 8.x that is used in my installer. To
avoid this problem, install TeXLive without Ghostscript or delete the
folder ~\etc\Ghostscript in LyX's install directory and delete its path
in LyX preferences.
- I found also incompatibilities in the programs dt2dv and dv2dt, that
are used by LyX for the DVI-output. I don't know how to fix this.
- TeXLive don't have the program "epstopdf" so that you have to
redefine the EPS -> PDF converter in LyX using the program "ps2pdf".
eps2pdf is a shell script, if it is missing write a short
note to the texlive mailing list.
These problems and possibly more implies that I don't give support that
LyXWin works together with TeXLive.
I bought the official TeXLive2005 DVD and fiddled aroud for three days
after I gave up to get it to work properly. I focus now on the MiKTeX
distribution.
TeXLive has proTeXt as "official" windows distribution, which is
the same as MiKTeX, except that it installs additionally Ghostscript,
GhostView and a GUI, if the user need one.
