Hello,
I am a somewhat experienced Lyx user. Using Lyx 1.4.2. with the latest
MiKTeX (2.5 with updated packages from the 14.august.2006) on Windows
xp. I have reconfigured Lyx via the Menu (Tools -> reconfigure) after
all MiKTeX updates. I don't know much about plain LaTeX though (thats
why I use Lyx ;-))
Recently I have an annoying problem with a lyx document class
(g-brief-de). Whenever I try to export documents of this type to PDF via
pdflatex I get the following error:
LaTex Error: Command \Telefon already defined.
\newcommand\Telefon{\mvchr{84}}
Your command was ignored.
Type I <command> <return> to replace it with another command,
or <return> to continue without it.
At first I thought that there is something wrong with my document. So I
tried the g-brief-de.lyx template file from the Lyx templates folder. It
produces the same error!
I tried an uninstall of Lyx 1.4.2 and reinstalled 1.4.1 (with 1.4.1 it
used to work). But then it wouldn't even work in 1.4.1.! Now I have
1.4.2 up and running but the error persists!
Is this error reproducible by anyone? What causes the error? If it is
not reproducible, what am I doing wrong with my lyx installation?
Please help me. I have lots of old documents using this class. Also I
like the layout more than the g-brief2 class.
Thank you very much,
Stephan
I saw this problem mentioned not so long ago
and this is all I know about it.

Telefon double definition in g-brief and mavrosym

dear readers,
may be this is not lyx but TeX error. (I use the last Miktex WinXP)
mavrosym.sty (2006/05/11 v2.1) defines
\def\Telefon{{\mvchr84}}
while g-brief-de.layout (and the g-brief.cls in tex) defines
Style Telefon
...
LatexName Telefon
...
End
this stops latex every time using g-brief with errors when running
automatic through mavrosym while using g-brief.
I would recommend for mavrosym.sty to change "Telefon" to "Telefone"!
best regards
Michael
