In a document that uses the pdflscape package to render landscape pages, I recently got an error that I had not encountered before. When I tried to compile the PDF (pdflatex), I got a LaTeX error that said something like "ifxetex.sty not found" with details that made it clear that pdflscape was the problem. I can't recall exactly what it said.
My first attempts were to track down and update lscape and pdflscape. lscape comes in the graphics package and that was up to date (this is a recent install of LyX and MikTeX). After some fruitless searching for how to get pdflscape in MikTeX, I found that it was included in the oberdiek package, and that was also up to date. So, I went and updated my MikTeX packages (the only ones that needed updating were authordate, floatflt, pdfpages, cm, caption, and babel) and also installed the ifxetex package, and the problem went away. I don't think any of the packages but ifxetex have anything to do with pdflscape. Why in the world does a Windows installation of MikTeX and LyX care about Xetex -- a Mac TeX system?? Is this a new addition to the pdflscape package? ----- David Hewitt Research Fishery Biologist, USGS Klamath Falls Field Station (Oregon, USA) -and- Student, Virginia Institute of Marine Science http://www.vims.edu/fish/students/dhewitt/ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Why-does-Windows-LyX-1.5.3-care-about-Xetex--tp16537437p16537437.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
