Hi everyone, I am running LyX 1.1.6fix2 on Red Hat 6.2 I am trying to include a figure, which I saved in XFIG as two files: the postscript, and the text part. According to the manual I only need to import the text file as (INSERT-INCLUDE FILE with the "use as include option flag") I got an error. can't write on file '/<mydirectory>/test.aux Please type another output filename I didn't define an output file, it must have been LyX itself. If I instead of the absolute file path just write "test.pstext_t", everything seems ok at first, but only the caption shows up, not the figure. The I tried the following according to a footnote in the users manual I added a line like \@namedef{Gin@rule@ps_tex}#1{{eps}{ps_tex}{#1}} in the file /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def. Then added "pstex" to the extension: \def\Gin@extensions{eps, ps, pstex, eps.gz, ps.gz, eps=2EZ} Unfortuantely it didn't solve my problem either. Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
