OK, so I'm now a little confused, so I'll put my stupid luser hat on. I'm currently downloading bxform-089-glibc2.1.tgz from one of the ftp sites in the iINSTALL file. Will this allow lyx-1.2.0 to cleanly produce the insert previews, or do I need to look at updating convert as well? Imagemagik i

Hi all, Just some observations. At the moment, I'm a little flummoxed as to what to try. I've run reconfigure, and 1.2.1 still converts *some* .eps files to .png and then back to .eps, when I go "View->Postscript", and "View->DVI" Actually, it does it for any of the Views I've cut it down to o

Also, If I remove the \converter eps png line, the eps images are converted to xpm images later on. Again, this isn't when I try to view the images in Lyx, but when I try to view a file from the view menu. Rod On Thu, 22 Aug 2002, Rod Pinna wrote: > Hi all, > > Just some ob
