Actual Results:  no pdf, lyx becimes unresponsive

Expected Results:  either a pdf file, or an error message telling me why a pdf could not be created

export to latex does work

AFACT, export to pdf is simply an external call to pdflatex.  You sure pdflatex
works?

Comment 2 Michael A. Peters 2005-05-29 06:08:30 UTC

I ran pdflatex on the exported .tex and that worked.
I then tried export to pdf from lyx and that worked.
Furthermore, direct export to pdf now works from any file.

Where the problem was is puzzling, repeated attempts after installing lyx had
resulted in a hung lyx, with no output at all on the command line when lyx had
been started from command line.
