Hi Stephan, It is me again. Now I have troubles to compile with the export command.
I have the right LyX path, since it works with the —help option. However, the export does not work. I get the error message: Error: Couldn't export file ---------------------------------------- No information for exporting the format Postscript. I have tried it with various formats like Postscript (example above) and HTML since I figured maybe "PDF (pdflatex)” (wich I actually would need) with the space in between and the quotation mark might be an issues. Do I understand it correctly, that I could use any format listed in the menu File/Export ? my command looks like this (e.g. with the Postscript option): /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx -e Postscript Chapter_01.lyx I have also tried with —export, but of course that should’t make a difference. I have checked, I am in the right path, where the LyX file is located. Any suggestion what I might have done wrong? Thank you. All the best, Helmut PS: When I move to LyX it gives me an error message: Error reading module basis (see below).
