Running lyx in a console and trying to create a ps from a document with images
causes the following errors to be printed:

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.
