Hi,
after updating to SuSE 7.2 (with lyx 1.1.6fix1) it has become almost
impossible to properly work with lyx because the production of the dvi file
takes incredibly long, e.g. lyx needs 14 seconds to produce or update a dvi
file from the "dinbrief" template file (LaTex itself needs less than a
second). I found out that the production or update of the *.tex.dep is
responsible for that although when run with "-dgb depend" there don't seem to
be any problems. There are lines like these in the log
AbsolutePath file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/latin1.def
Found file: latin1.def
Not a file or we are unable to find it.
but that is not where the time is spent.
This is really a problem for me. I am writing a paper and the generation or
update of the dvi file takes more than 2 minutes.
