Lyx1.6: export/import problem with latex

[David Roscoe]

Binary package hint: lyx

I use Lyx to create documents with considerable mathematical content and, generally speaking, have had no real problems either exporting Lyx files as *.tex files, or importing *.tex files into LyX.

However, I have just discovered (using LyX 1.6.1-1 on kubuntu 8.10) that I can export LyX files as LaTex(plain) files perfectly - that is, I can open and compile these in, say, Kile.

But, when I try to re-import these same files (even unmodified), then my LyX freezes. I need to perform this process for communication purposes with a remote third party.

I have attached a lyx file which exhibits this bad behaviour upon LyX-->latex-->Lyx.

I am having a similar (the same?) problem. I can export just fine, opening up documents in TexMaxs but cannot import them (an error occurred whilst running tex2lyx -f...). I have also tried using the command line function. I tried taking this up with the Lyx mailing list and they said that it was a configuration error on Ubuntu's end and not. You can follow my discussion here if you wish:

I have also confirmed that the windows version of Lyx is able to import documents normally.

Thanks for the hard work.
