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 ehmsen@gentoo.org 2006-03-29 08:25:03 0000 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! ps@twin.jikos.cz 2008-02-26 22:58:44 0000 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. ps@twin.jikos.cz 2008-05-17 10:06:43 0000 i see now, from dvips(k) 5.95b it doesn't accept absolute paths unless -R0 is added.
