LyX ⇒ Problem previewing pdf in LyX

[franckess]

Hi People

I was using LyX fine until I woke up this morning with this problem in hand. When I click on view doc in pdf, I see the following box-message:
--> sweave Errors
Errors: pdfTeX Error
Description: !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Set
I can't figure out what's wrong. Please help!!!!

Hi,

welcome to the board!

The error message is incomplete. The best would be if you would post your .log file here, as attachment. For this, just click "Upload attachment" below the edit text field.

The complete error message is

Code: Select all

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Set
tings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp5828/lyx_tmpbuf2/R-assignment-bootmle.pdf): PDF inclusi
on: required page does not exist <0>
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

It seems your document tries to include a file R-assignment-bootmle.pdf, but this file doesn't exist. Perhaps there's a typo in the filename?

I never created a R-assignment-bootmle.pdf document, the one that I have always been running is R-assignment.pdf
I really don't know where the bootmle one comes from!!!!

[franckess]

Just the time to switch off my laptop and switch it on, I get a typo...that doesn't make sense!!!
Isn't there a place where I can change that path to something else?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Yes, there must be a cause. That you switched your laptop off and on, is just a coincidence, you probably have done something which you did not notice or remember.

Perhaps post your preamble, or your (reduced) LyX file, or a LaTeX export of a reduced copy of your file. Until now there's not enough information yet to find the cause.

Please find attached the *.lyx file and *.pdf file (the one before the error)

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Have a look at this excerpt from the LyX file, lines 213-215:

Code: Select all

\begin_layout Chunk
<<bootmle, fig=TRUE>>=
\end_layout

Perhaps that's it.

I have changed that line as you indicated, but now it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Set
tings/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp5828/lyx_tmpbuf2/R-assignment-004.pdf): PDF inclusion: required page does not exist <0>
