Hi,
I found the problem in the layout files:
The actual problem lies in numreport.inc which adds a chapter counter to the
algorithm float.
numreport.inc is included in svcommon.inc (after all std*.inc includes) which
in its turn is included by svglobal.layout/svglobal3.layout etc.
Of course chapter counters in papers dont make much sense, a quick workaround
is to redefine algorithm by putting the following in the local layout:
"
Format 35
Float
Type algorithm
GuiName Algorithm
Placement tbp
Extension loa
NumberWithin none
Style ruled
ListName "List of Algorithms"
IsPredefined false
UsesFloatPkg true
RefPrefix alg
End
"
Which is copy-pasted from stdfloats.inc, here NumberWithin is defined as none
instead of chapter which I hope is the standard behaviour. At least I can
generate pdf's with algorithm floats again.
best regards,
Ivo
Hi,
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem (see mail below) since I upgraded
from lyx 2.0.1 to lyx 2.0.4. You can easily reproduce:
- File->new from template
- choose springer/svjour3.lyx
- remove the figure floats (the pictures were not found in my installation,
opensuse)
- add one algorithm float (it's the float that generates the error, not the
algorithm itself).
- generate pdf
I obviously could downgrade again, but I have read somewhere that lyx 2.0.4
includes better sprinter (svjour3/svglobal) layouts. Any idea on how I can fix
this quickly ?
If there is no simple fix, I'll just downgrade for the moment as I really need
it.
best regards,
Ivo

Hello
The svjour3 class used to work fine in Lyx 2.0, even with the algorithm float.
I just upgraded to Lyx 2.0.3 on two different computers, and I get the error,
! LaTeX Error: No counter 'chapter' defined.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.22 \newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}[chapter]
Any advice on getting around this? I checked the layouts, and they're not
introducing this.
regards
john perry
