I am having difficulty getting LyXWin working properly.
1) I have followed the detailed notes for installing LyXWin on XP from the LyX/WindowsSetup page of the LyX wiki-wiki. 2) I have opened LyX from a command window with the command lyx -dbg 3. In the command prompt window. Among the things produced on the screen are: Path of binary: C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/bin/ Checking whether LyX is run in place. no System directory search path: C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/Resources/lyx/; C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/share/lyx/;usr/local/share/lyx System directory: 'C:/LaTeX/LyX/lyx/share/lyx/' User Lyx directory: 'C:/Documents and Settings/db/.lyx/' . 3) When I reconfigure I get a lot of stuff in the command window. Some of it is as follows: C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\share\lyx\..\..\bin; C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\bin;c:\latex\imagemagick-6.2.3-q16;C:\LaTeX\texmf\miktex\bi n;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\Sustem32\Wbem Usage: C:\LaTeX\LyX\lyx\bin\sed.exe [OPTION] . . configure: error: cannot find chkconfig.ltx script. What does this error mean? How can I fix it? Also, I have the folders c:\latex\gs, and c:\latex\ghostgm that are not mentioned in the search path. I tried changing my PATH to include every folder with an .exe file that has anything to do with LyX, but that hasn't seemed to make any difference. 4) I have upgraded to a more recent version of sed. When I enter sed -version into the command window, I get: GNU sed version 4.1.4 5) I deleted the .lyx folder from c:\documents and settings\<user name>, and that got things mostly working, but when I try to export of view a .lyx file as a .pdf, I get a dialogue box that says "Cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF (dvipdfm)". I have Acrobat reader 7.0 installed in a nearby folder whose name does not contain any spaces. Also, when I export a .lyx file as a .ps file, ghostview does not open, and I cannot control where the .ps file goes. Is this to be expected? Any help would be muchly appreciated. djb David Boutillier PhD Candidate (ABD) -- Department of Philosophy The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada N6A 3K7 -- Phone: 416-567-1362 Fax: 519-661-3922 Email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
