Hi! I'm trying to install LyX 1.1.6fix4 on Windows 2000 following the instructions at
http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm. LyX seems to work fine, except for that it won't run latex when trying to view things (View->DVI for example). I don't have Cygwin's tetex installed, MiKTeX is the only TeX distribution installed and Cygwin's bash shell finds MiKTeX on the path. Running 'latex foo.tex' on bash works just fine and uses MiKTeX 2.1. I tried to run lyx on Cygwin's bash (after setting the environment variables as they appear in /etc/lyxprofile) with the following result when I tried 'View->DVI' on one of the help documents: $ lyx Converting from latex to dvi Running sh: BUGS.tex: command not found Executing command: yap 'BUGS.dvi' Then LyX ran yap, which of course couldn't find a DVI file since one didn't exist. So, it seems to me that LyX tried to execute 'BUGS.tex' instead of 'latex BUGS.tex' or whatever it was supposed to do. Any ideas?
