Attached a small patch for chkconfig.ltx to check for the LaTeX-package
"preview". I also patched the LaTeXConfig.lyx.in to describe the preview
package and to add descriptions for prettyref and varioref.
Btw. for what is the file LyXConfig.lyx.in needed? It contains most of
the package descriptions but not all of LaTeXConfig.lyx.in.
Could somebody please have a look at bug 2415:
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2415
It seems that preview is broken and useless at the moment or is this
unreproducible under Lunix?
Thanks and regards
Uwe
p.s. @Angus: I'm currently working on the installer. Aspell 0.6 works
fine, thanks for your great work. Besides the preview problems there's
only one thing left: The LyX menus are always in english in your
1.4.1svn builds, no matter what environment LANG variable is used. How
could this be fixed?
