Compiled with gcc-4.1, LyX frequently crashes when images or preview-latex are involved. There are several bug reports which seem to be caused by that: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2662 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2677 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684 Some other bugs seem to have disappeared in the meantime: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2414 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2494 From the above 3 open bugs, I have seen all once, but the only one which is 100% reproducible for me is 2677. Please have a look at the report for a text document, a description and backtraces. Apart from that, LyX crashes every now and then for me, when I toggle a figure float (bug 2662). Unfortuantely, I never had gdb running and I didn't found a way yet to reproduce it. In bug 2414, I wrote: ----------- I think the problem is somewhere in FileMonitor.C or GraphicsCache.C, which uses boost signals. There have been compilation issues with gcc-4.1 in these files[1], which have apparently been resolved, but probably not in the right way?
