LyX 1.3.7 works fine for me under Windows XP, with or without a network
connection. Not so for LyX 1.4.1.
When I unplug from or disable the LAN, LyX fails to launch, with an error screen
up for a split-second.
After several quick-draw attempts, I was able to freeze and screen-capture the
error message. It says, in part:
"Exception caught:
boost::filesystem::is_directory:
"J:MSYS\home\Angus\lyx\14x\build\installprefix\Resources\locale" The network
location cannot be reached."
I followed the instructions on the Wiki for adding C:\MSYS\1.0\bin\ to my path,
then running "sh configure" in the LyX141/Resources directory. No joy.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Angus created the configure script and that is a directory
on his system. Most people don't have J: drives. But a few
who do have reported a similar error. A temporary solution
is to rename your J: directory or device to another letter.
I've seen another solution if that one is inconvenient, but
don't recall it at the moment and I think is takes more work.
Is there a J: drive available when you are network connected?
