[arch-general] Lyx and texlive don't allow viewing the document as pdf, ps, or dvi
Hello, I have installed lyx, and texlive (from community). I am now (I had tetex earlier and it was working fine) unable to view my documents by clicking View -> DVI or View -> PDF or by clicking the PDF, DVI, and PS buttons on the toolbar. I keep getting the error dialog box "File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir[random letters and numbers]/lyx_tmpbuf0/foo.dvi" or "blah: blah/foo.pdf" or "blah: /blah/foo.ps". Does anyone know how I may solve this problem? I could go back to tetex, but I'd feel more satisfied with finding a solution to the problem, so here I am :) . Thank you ravster.
I don't know about lyx, but I don't think texlive is the problem. I use it with texmaker and it works well. Try installing texmaker :) On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 8:12 PM, Ravi Desai <ravster3@hotmail.com> wrote:

I don't know lyx so i can't give you the one and only hint.-) Control the commands which be behind the buttons and try to run them in a konsole. I'm a little bit surprised that lyx want to read from /tmp. Could it be that this is a temporary run command what you use? If you run latex (or pdflatex) in a konsole the default is that the output will be in the same directory as the tex files. See you, Attila
