Summary0000383: failure to produce output
DescriptionA few problems
1) you need to set in config.sys
SET PATHEXT =.exe;.cmd
(without spaces) otherwise programs and document classes are not detected
Maybe this should be added in the readme

2)
At startup, the console shows:
socktools.cpp(119): lyx: Could not bind address 'G:/var/temp/lyx_tmpdir.JL1843/lyxsocket' to socket descriptor: Operation now in progress

Note that I haven't set any pipe in the preferences

3)I don't know if it related to the above, but if I try to get the pdf of any text I get:
Error: Cannot view file
----------------------------------------
File does not exist: G:/var/temp/lyx_tmpdir.JL1843/lyx_tmpbuf0/newfile1.pdf

newfile1.pdf is there, and from a command line:
pdflatex G:/var/temp/lyx_tmpdir.JL1852/lyx_tmpbuf0/newfile1.tex

works just fine, so it seems that pdflatex for some reason don't get called

when repeating the conversion with the pdf manually in place, I get:

acroread (the default viewer) doesn't shows up, but it appears as running in watchcat

On anther occasion (apparently without cause), I got

On repeating the experiment, it seems that the LIBC crash had nothing to do with calling acroread: it just seems to happen at random

Still the viewer doesn't shows up: I have tried also with lucide with the same results.
I seem to recall a similar problem with 1.4 initially: maybe you can find it in your notes

I found out that with 1.4 I had to omit the "extra flag" for pdflatex to work.

Doing that, when trying to view the pdf I get in the console:

===
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `'newfile1.tex''.
<*> 'newfile1.tex'

Please type another input file name:

====
However, the file is there, and if I then enter manually (with great difficulty, because the system slows down a lot at this point, despite not showing much CPU activity) the very same filename newfile1.tex, the pdf get produced

So it could be that pdflatex is confused by the extra apexes

Still, even after producing the pdf lucide is unable to load it: I used the trick of using "start lucide" as the viewer, rather than just lucide (this trick also worked in the realy releases of 1.4 with the same problem): lucide than starts but complains something like "I don't know how to read this file" without showing what filename got passed

Does http://smedley.info/lyx-1.6.5-os2-20100212.zip help with item 3? I've tried to fix the quoting around command lines per windows...

This also uses Qt4 v4.5.1 GA version....

Unfortunately not, and neither does the one from 2/26.
I attach the screenshot of the lyx window after I typed manually the filename.

After that, the pdf file gets created and lucide opens (even without the need of adding "start" in the preferences), but it says that it cannot find a plugin for the file (it doesn't says what file it is looking for). The same file opens gracefully in lucide from outside lyx.

Paul, as a note Qt4 GA has a problem to start some apps. This should be fixed with newest svn. Qt4 4.6.2 should be out soon

In this case, however, the application (pdflatex) starts, but it doesn't understand the name of the file which is passed as an argument
