OK, I've isolated the issue. I'm attaching what LyX exports to TeX with my current setup, as well as the source file.

In this document, if I have a "List of Figures" object, the bidi package loaded (for bidirectional text), and specify a figure wrap float's width in percent, it throws the error ...

Hi Ijon,

thanks for the reply. Where would I find the settings for pagenumberwidth and \@penumwidth? I haven't specified them in my document settings, as far as I know.

I have a document containing about a dozen child documents, totaling about 350 pages. It's a rather complex file, but I'm running into a weird error in compilation that I can't nail down. It works like this.

I get the following error:
! Missing number, treated as zero.

\scr ...

I'm using lyx-3.3.99dev, using biblatex-chicago with biber, polyglossia, and xetex.

biblatex recently updated to version 3.12. After the update, I am no longer able to compile documents with the Latin language defined in the preamble (even though I have the texlive-langeuropean package installed ...

update: It turns out that the invoice package is, indeed, super-old and was the source of my problems. Telling atom instead to \usepackage{invoice2} allowed me to get my MWE (and by extension, the more complicated version I've been working on) to compile correctly.

Now I can get back to the more ...

it's worth mentioning that invoice.sty (which is what I assume is being invoked by \usepackage) doesn't look like it's been updated since 2011. I can compile the document without error if I also comment out '\usepackage{invoice}'.

Could it be that the issue is the invoice package being … *counts ...

I have no preamble; this is from the MWE I posted at the top. That's the error I get just for uncommenting '\usepackage{polyglossia}'.

If that's the case, then csquotes, xkeyval, fontspec, xparse, and fontspec-luatex are all broken.

If I'm using a local (ie, manually installed directly from ctan ...

here's the logfile. enjoy?

Cheers

I've done a bit of digging through the logfile, and have found this:

The file as it is in the first post compiles fine, but if I invoke \usepackage{polyglossia} I get errors on the following files:

csquotes.sty
xkeyval.sty
fontspec.sty
xparse.sty
fontspec-luatex.sty

in the case of the first three ...

all right, I've now installed the texlive distribution separately from my distro's own texlive packages (fwiw I'm on gentoo). I have my local texlive distribution in /usr/local/tex. How do I set atom to use this, and not my system-wide tex distribution?

Cheers,
