 Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:12 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Lyx won't create PDF |
 |
|
I have this Lyx file that i used to be able to convert to pdf in Gentoo. However, since i finished it i have reinstalled Gentoo.
I get this error
| Quote: | The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. |
This error, to me, is very cryptic and i have no idea what it means.
At the moment i have tetex-3.0_p1-r6 and lyx-1.5.5 installed.
Anybody have any ideas? Cheers.

Have you gotten any support or help concerning your issue yet?
I've got a lot of similar errors when trying to compile my LyX document and I really don't understand them nor how to fix them (As i just can't edit the Latex [can I?])
For once, these errors popped up after I added a float an an image inside the float:
| Quote: | Paragraph ended before \@item was complete.
\par
\end{centering}
I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best. |

LaTeX Error: \begin{description} on input line 601 ended by \end{centering}
\par\end{centering}
Your command was ignored.
Type I <command> <return> to replace it with another command,
or <return> to continue without it. |
| Quote: |
LaTeX Error: \caption outside float (well it ain't outside the float!)
\caption

and so on...
This is the source:
| Code: | % Preview source code for paragraph 72
\begin{description}
\item [{%
\begin{figure}[h]
\noindent \begin{centering}
\includegraphics{\lyxdot \lyxdot /\lyxdot \lyxdot /\lyxdot \lyxdot /\lyxdot \lyxdot /\lyxdot \lyxdot /biller/selfmade/vorratsdsp}
\par\end{centering}
\caption{Veranschaulichung der auf Vorrat zu speichernden Daten nach Artikel

\end{figure}
}]~

I could post my document, if anyone'd be so kind as to diagnose my errors. |

Ok, I seem to have figured out the above one, my float had a "description" style...
The LaTeX Log under the Document Menu Entry is actually more informative than those error messages. |

| the latex log proved to be just as cryptic. Doesn't mater, i've solved it. Changed the language encoding from UTF8 to the default. Errors are all gone. |
