Hello everybody,
this is not a bug... is a problem concerning my bibtex file... or
installation but I can't understand how to fix it :-(
Ok, let's start from beginning.
I use lyx for creating my documents on Linux (OpenSuse 10.2) and I use
a bib file for my references. All goes ok.
Some day ago, I buyed a Mac... and I'm moving all my work stuff on Mac.
I installed MacTex... and LyX 1.5.3
When I open a document created by me that use the .bib file... and I
generate the .pdf (pdflatex)... Lyx crash with reporting the following
lines on debug console:
- Running BibTeX.
- We got a translation
- terminate called after throwing an instance of
'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::string,
boost::filesystem::path_traits> >'
- what(): boost::filesystem::exists
- Abort trap
So, I guessed that is a problem of my bib file... and in fact, if I
remove only the bibtex field and the end of document... Lyx will not
crash and generate a perfect PDF ... but I can't understand why bibtex
crash LyX... and what I have to do for fix it.
Well, if LyX is crashing, that is a problem, whatever else is happening.
First, try exporting to LaTeX and running, from a terminal:
>latex yourfile
>bibtex yourfile
>latex yourfile
>latex yourfile
Report any error messages you get.
After that, one of us should have a look at the file and see if we can
reproduce the crash. Can you get it to do it with just the bibtex field?
