Hello, I made a very strange observation this morning. I have two machines running Debian GNU Linux 2.2 (not necessarily the same packages are installed!) and I compiled lyx1.1.6fix2 for them. On one machine it runs perfectly. On the other I get when I want to view dvi or postscript of a lyx file LyX: execvp failed: No such file or directory LyX: execvp failed: No such file or directory LyX: execvp failed: No such file or directory LyX: execvp failed: No such file or directory LyX: execvp failed: No such file or directory Converting from latex to dvi Running latex The execvp are the strange thing. Can I find out somehow, what lyx is looking for? Since I did not see a real problem in the ps file, I would not mind too much, but what is even more annoying is that when I exit lyx, depending on what I wanted dvi or postscript, I get many many xdvi or gv programs which display the document. On the command line, I see Converting from latex to dvi Running latex File: main This is makeindex, version 2.13 [07-Mar-1997] (using kpathsea).

Too bad. LyX: execvp failed: No such file or directory Converting from latex to dvi Running latex Converting from dvi to ps [repeating many times] I am not sure, if and how the two problems are related, but they occur always at the same time. Does anybody have a clue what could go on here? Rainer
