Hello, I recently did a complete reinstall of lyx and am having some problems opening my old documents. There were no problems compiling lyx and there were no missing packages. Yet when I open a document, I get the error "No information for converting gif to eps". This happens for a number of different formats. In the text window, I get the message "/usr/local/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR Execution of "convert" failed." What is going on and how do I fix it? Thanks Chris
I will venture to guess what causes this problem. Are images in the LyX document set to be displayed? This behaviour can be disabled per image. If you do not have a complete installation of ImageMagick, or if it is not properly linked, then you might probably get as many error messages (in LyX only), which simply mean that the images could not be displayed in LyX. Personally, I choose never to display im- ages in LyX as it slows things down (makes the GUI 'jumpy'), especially as documents grow. Roy -- Roy S. Schestowitz http://Schestowitz.com
