Error with Import from TeX

Post by dragoshenron »

Hello there!
I'm writing my PhD thesis with Lyx.
My university has a specific class, layouts and so on. These is the content of the latex package:

Code: Select all

[.] [..] adsphd.cls
allpapers.bib cover_sample.tex defs.tex
extract_from_bibtex.py glossary.sty Makefile
Makefile.settings mycoverpage.tex README.txt
thesis.tex VERSION [image]
[chapters]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
where 'thesis.tex' is the main tex file for the final booklet.
I'm using Lyx 2.0.0 for windows.

First attempt: I tried to import this .tex in LyX but I got this error:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
15:41:09.393: Importing X:\adsphd\thesis.lyx...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So I tried to launch it from console, but the same error appears.

Someone could give me an hint? I can send the zip file with the full package to someone can help me to 'lyxifing' it :)

Thanks in advance and very best regards,
Alex Masolin

Does anybody have a solution for the specified problem? I have the same Eroor message reading (or trying to read) a tex file. The class file is DissOnlineLatex.cls if anybody knows it...

It is very difficult to parse LaTeX so LaTeX -> LyX is far from perfect and should not be expected to work well. However, I have seen some patches in the last few weeks regarding tex2lyx so you could try with the development version. I would not be too hopeful though.

Best of luck!

Hello,

I'm haveing the same problem with my PhD thesis. The problem seem to be related with the bibliography. When I try to insert the bibliography in my Lyx document it does not work. At the moment I don't have the solution.
