Ok. So now we need to ascertain why 'convert' failed. Or if, indeed, it was run. Three things to do: 1. Check that your postscript file is valid. 2. Invoke lyx from the console as PROMPT> lyx -dbg graphics This will spew out a whole heap of noise, some of which may be useful. 3. The actual converter you use to go from ps->png format (or any other format loadable by the GUI frontend library in fact) can be specified 'by hand'. See the Preferences dialog, Converter pane. I suspect that nothing is listed, meaning that lyx falls back on the convertDefault.sh script to be found in $PREFIX/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh ($PREFIX/bin/lyx is where the lyx executable is to be found.) This script is a wrapper for ImageMagick's convert. To check that it is indeed being invoked, add these lines to it: echo echo CONVERTDEFAULT.SH echo echo $@ echo which will print out the arguments used to invoke it. Angus
