For many plots in a sub directory "PlotFigures", I have 2 versions, one in eps version and one in pdf version. With Lyx-1.5.3 on Fedora Linux 8, I'm using a koma-script book format. I've run up against this problem inserting graphics. When I insert a pdf figure, then in the DVI/postscript outpu

Nobody cautioned you yet in this thread. Delete the source tree and untar a fresh copy before re-setting the environment and re-running configure. Otherwise, same old mistakes just happen again and again. I did this recompile myself a few weeks ago on Scientific Linux and I ended up setting QTDI

Just wanted to let you know the TeXLive works great on my Fedora 8 system. I notice no diamage compared to tetex. In fact, if TeXLive would just use the same configuration commands (no more "texhash") I expect most people would never notice the difference. Do my eyes deceive me? With LyX 1.5.2
