Hi Everybody I recently upgraded to 1.6.1. I have a document with a number of tables in floats rotated sideways. It used to work fine in LyX 1.5. Now I cannot produce pdf output anymore. The error message reads "LaTeX Error: File `rotfloat.sty' not found." I cannot find a way to update packages with texlive (and TeXShop) in Mac OS X like one does with MikTex on Windows so I searched the internet and manually copied rotfloat.sty to: /usr/local/texlive/2007basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/rotfloat/rotfloat.sty
If you have a solid internet connection (i.e., you are fine with downloading 1GB), you could also just trash your old latex installation and install <http://www.tug.org/mactex/>.
/Konrad P.S. That said, what you try to do should work nevertheless.
