I have a file that processes fine using "PDF (ps to pdf)"
option.

When I insert a graphic, it then gives me a single error:

LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in /tmp/ lyx_tmpdir7937ASk7yo/ly
...van_courses_current_320_assign_a1-3b.jpg}


The only difference in the two files is:

assign $ diff a1.works.lyx a1.lyx
1359a1360,1370
> \layout Standard
>
>
> \begin_inset Graphics
>       filename a1-3b.jpg
>       lyxscale 50
>       scale 50
>
> \end_inset
>
>

Yet the file has size information:

assign $ identify a1-3b.jpg
a1-3b.jpg JPEG 707x321 707x321+0+0 DirectClass 6e+01kb


When I go to clipping and tell it to clip to a particular
bounding box (using "get info from file, which works),
I get the dreaded "blank image in the result".

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or should I just
give up on LyX at this point, given that in the past week
I've spent more time fighting the tool than I have doing
the work? The sad part is this WAS working before I trashed
my /usr/local and was forced to rebuild using more up-to-date
tools.
