Any suggestions? SH asked: Have you installed ghostgum? No I am getting a failure on that. See my later posting on that. I seem to be having a problem getting GSview to write to the registry. I tried to find the error message "failed to add ps file association" on Google and couldn't. Perhaps it does relate to permissions or a prior setting. Speculating, do you have a postscript printer that might have usurped the .ps file suffix (maybe network printer)? I suppose you have tried making a new file association prior with Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options prior to trying to install GSview, though I am not sure that will help. Is there a prior ps file association from the Ghostscript install or administrative fiat? Never seen sech a confounded sight in all my dognabbed days, Stephen

It is "semi-supported": It has no GUI entry, and you can't distinguish it optically in LyX from a normal array, but you can create a 1x1 subarray if you enter \subarray in math mode. You can then add columns and rows or change alignment with the usual tabular commands. Every AMS construct I know of is at least supported like subarray.

bug in landscape? SOLVED!
Hi all,
I writing a book (Koma script) in portrait mode,
I want experiment with landascape mode,
all ok, but page of title, extra title and dedicated
appears in portrait.
Is a bug?
Thanks
Marcelo Acuña
I solved this problem.
I add in preamble
\geometry{dvips}
and pages of title, extra title, etc.
appears in landscape.

Just to get the empty main window. This on a 1.8 GHz opteron, which compiles lyx way faster than an 2.4GHz pentium M does. Of course lyx started from cache, I started it several times in a row to rule out disk slowness. No kind of document/paragraph problems - this is the startup time without a document. And probably not a qt problem either, as lyx 1.3 uses qt and starts in less than a second. _Editing_ with lyx 1.4 is fine, except from the occational bug. The startup time is not - it has definitely regressed, and I wonder if it has to be that way. What could lyx be up to _before_ l�oading documents? Helge Hafting

No, but I have the dubious distinction of having rested a box of punch
cards on the roof of my car whilst unlocking it, and then driving off
without bringing them into the car. (Unsurprisingly, the cards did not
drive off as far as I did. Something about inertia, I believe.)
I have installed R, OpenOffice.org, Endnote and a few
other things on this machine so I assume I have
administrator's rights.
Seems likely.
Post myresults.txt so we can see if something went
splat.
Splat. Looks remarkably like what I saw when I
installed LyX. I just did not know how to capture the
text flow before.
I've posted the log and a screen shot of the directory
at
http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/LyX/sh_configure_output1.pdf
Well, the output from the configuration script is in fact interesting.
Note the first three lines. The configuration script will look first
for latex.exe and then, if necessary, for latex2e.exe, searching your
system command path each time. If it finds either, it will test the
program's functionality on a dummy LaTeX document file. Unfortunately,
if a broken version of latex.exe is found, the script moves on to
latex2e.exe, rather than continuing to search the command path.
Note that the script apparently found a latex.exe program but decided it
was not usable (i.e., broken), then moved on to latex2e.exe, which it
never found. Lack of latex2e.exe is normal, but no working latex.exe
means no joy using LyX. So the next question to investigate is why it
thought the copy of latex.exe it found was not usable.
If I recall correctly, you ran 'latex --version' using the latex.exe
file in the MiKTeX bin directory and got a valid answer from it, which
would suggest that it in fact works (although there might still be set
up problems with the classes, I suppose). When I've encountered this
particular pathology in the past, it has usually been because the user
had installed something else (Cygwin in my case) that contained an
older, broken or improperly installed latex.exe, and that was ahead of
the correct latex.exe on the command path. I did not mention this
before because you posted your command path and I saw the MiKTeX bin
directory on it fairly early (and in particular ahead of anything likely
to contain latex.exe).
Best to double check things here. From a DOS prompt, try the following:
1. Type 'path' to get the system path. Make sure that (a) the MiKTeX
bin directory is properly listed and (b) no directory ahead of it
contains a file named latex.exe.
2. I've attached the file used to test your LaTeX installation. Plop
it down anywhere except your MiKTeX bin directory, cd to that directory,
and run 'latex chklatex.ltx'. It should cough up a log file, and the
log file should contain the string 'ThisIsLaTeX2e' (lack of spaces
deliberate) after the initial heading stuff. If not, there may be a
problem with the MiKTeX installation. If that does work, then we will
need to do a small bit of surgery to the installation script to find out
why it doesn't like your latex.exe file.

Re: installing style files in lyx for conference
Adrian Peter wrote: Hi, I am running LyX on my windows box. A conference I am preparing a paper for provided a .sty file to use for tex preparation. How can I make lyx see the style file? I tried to create a simple layout file that told lyx to look for the style file. However, when I do a recongfigure lyx cannot see the .sty file. After downloading the style file, you need to install it in an appropriate directory (one that your LaTeX program will check when the time comes) and the refresh the file database that keep tabs on what you have installed. My suggestion for where to put it would be to locate your localtexmf directory, add a subdirectory underneath it named \tex\latex\, and stuff the style file in there (creating the tex and latex subdirectories if they don't already exist). Then update your file database. If you're a MiKTeX user, run the MiKTeX Options program from the Start menu, click on the Roots tab, and you'll see where your localtexmf directory is located. If you don't have one, you can either create one (recommended) or put the style file in the same relative location under the MiKTeX root (not recommended because the style file will get vaporized if you reinstall MiKTeX). Then switch to the General tab and click the Refresh Now button. Also when I start lyx and went to help and clicked on the latex configuration, it says "not a lyx file". Are all these things related? No, this is a separate problem. If so I would appreciate some advice on how to fix this. Thank you. Try running Edit->Reconfigure from inside LyX, then close LyX and restart it, then see if Help->LaTeX Configuration opens properly. Paul

No sign of 'ThisIsLaTeX2e' as far as I can see. The log is at http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/LyX/LatexLog12nov05.pdf . The annoying thing is that I spend an hour and a half downloading and installing a new copy of MiKTeX and I thought that I had manged to kill off everything from the old installation. Well another clean sweep tomorrow or Monday and I'll see what happens. Below is a quick summary of what I think I have at the moment. Thanks for all the help. I get the feeling that this may not be impossible after all.
