LyX output creation fails without error

Post by Promethean »

I use LyX 1.6.10 on Windows 7 64bit. Recently, all LyX output functions (View PDF, View DVI, View PS, Export PDF, ...) have ceased working for my document. When I click on the respective button, there is no loading time and no error message is returned. Doing the same for a different document works fine and produces the PDF after some loading time. Do you have any idea why this might be and how it could be fixed?
I am not aware of any changes to my system that might cause this problem.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

you could create a copy of your document and work with that. If necessary, start with a small working document and extend it step by step to get the complete document. That's what I would do, without any further information.

By the way, LyX 2.0 has been released, perhaps it's worth a try.

Thank you, I was able to identify the problem. LyX did not like me using “typographic” quotation marks in a nomenclature description field. I have reported this as a bug: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7582
