Description Yosef Meller 2005-06-30 21:54:09 UTC
LyX uses elatex for export to latex (which is used for every preview) by
default. After emerging tetex 3.0-r2, this does not work anymore. LyX gives
these errors:

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt elatex.fmt
fmtutil: no info for format `elatex'.

Workaround: tell LyX to use latex instead of elatex by going to Edit ->
Preferences -> Outputs -> LaTeX and changing the command used.

I believe that either the LyX ebuild should be updated to use the workaround, or
tetex should be updated to fix this, if applicable (have no clue in this).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge tetex-3.0-r2
2. launch LyX from the command line.
3. open one of your old documents or just create a new one
3. type Ctrl-D to view the DVI and look at the terminal, which is the only place
where something happens.

Actual Results:  
Above errors are displayed

Expected Results:  
xdvi should open with the file
