Running lyx in a console and trying to create a ps from a document with images causes the following errors to be printed: -- lyx sort.lyx This is dvips(k) 5.95b Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2006.03.07:0057' -> sort.ps <tex.pro><texps.pro><special.pro>. <cmsy7.pfb><cmmi7.pfb><cmr7.pfb> <cmsy10.pfb><cmr10.pfb><cmmi10.pfb>[1] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12 dvips: Could not find figure file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir6663NoYfAZ/lyx_tmpbuf0/0_home_bsolar_supsi_svnwc_sort_sort_lyx_data_QuickSort_chart.epsi; continuing ] [13 dvips: Could not find figure file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir6663NoYfAZ/lyx_tmpbuf0/1_home_bsolar_supsi_svnwc_sort_sort_lyx_data_MergeSort_chart.epsi; continuing dvips: Could not find figure file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir6663NoYfAZ/lyx_tmpbuf0/2_home_bsolar_supsi_svnwc_sort_sort_lyx_data_InsertionSort_chart.epsi; continuing ] [14 [...] -- The generated ps does not contain the figures. The problem seems caused by a change in the behaviour of dvips, as shown in the link provided. Adding -R0 in the DVI -> postscript command in the lyx configuration solves the problem: dvips -R0 -o $$o $$i
I have patched the lyx source so it by default should use -R0, so it is in CVS in lyx-1.4.0-r1. Thanks for reporting and finding the fix!
Christian, could you provide one image showing the problem? I'm not able to reproduce the problem here and I'm wondering why I dont see similar hacks on other distros.
i see now, from dvips(k) 5.95b it doesn't accept absolute paths unless -R0 is added.
