"This version has been tested on Puppy Tahrpup 6.0"

You need qt4 and qt4-devel packages:

Precise will run Lyx . Why you prefer Lyx to other word processors would be useful argument to install it.

On another linux distribution based on ubuntu 14.04, I installed Lyx and had the same problem, so I installed TexLive and it solved the problem.
In the package manager, there are tons of different packages called texlive, so I don't know which one to download. I only want to write guides, tutorials and texts for now, so n o need for maths nor science etc
If someone has an idea.

Hi totolanio,

I too am looking for a solution to LaTeX problems... here are some threads describing my problem and another that used to have the package I believe we are looking for... (I'm sure there are others) :

Hi totolanio,

I've not yet tried it, but I think (hope) that this thread might have some useful information on LaTeX :

I only use Lyx, I don't even know how to use latex lol

Tell me if you find something else. But there is a hint for you, you can download some related latex stuff in the package manager from Ubuntu repositories because you're on Tahr Pup.

There is texlive for example but it's very huge. Didn't solve my problem yet. (Didn't install texlive_full)

LyX usefulness

#14 Post by Hotdog »

Pelo,

LyX is a graphical interface for processing text into proper page layout. You choose what the output will be used for, an article, thesis, a scientific journal, magazine or even a book. You only have to concentrate on the content and LyX with the aid of typesetting software (LaTeX and TeX) in the background, will align and style your text into the appropriate layout. It does a great job on math formulas. Universities, symposiums and technical journals require the use of it in submissions to them.

It does wonders on other writing, too. There are 100's of packages (we might call them templates) for just about every kind of writing that you can imagine. And if you are willing to learn the core LaTeX language you can make your own packages and styles.

LyX – The Document Processor

#15 Post by superchook »

Earlier today I posted in another thread (Tips for publishing tools wanted... Things for Puppy that is ) the following:

Does anyone on the list have any experience using mom?

http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/

The proponents of mom and groff acknowledge that it can not do everything that TeX can, but argue that it can cover a large subset with a much smaller application.

If mom + groff can produce the results required then it might be worth investigating the size of the application together with its dependencies.

Puppy already includes groff but I do not know if it is the latest version or whether the mom macro package is provided. I note that Debian splits groff into groff-base and groff. I do not know how FatDog does things nor Slacko.

This post is probably of relevance on another thread discussing LyX.

cheers,
Ken
(This is that other thread)
Since writing the above I have been trying without success to see if Puppy does indeed have groff installed. I have tried tahr6.0.3, and slacko 6.3.0 both the 64 and 32 bit versions. Typing groff --help on a command line returns a message that groff cannot be found and typing which groff returns nothing, Typing groff in the search box in the Puppy Package manager indicates that groff_1.22.2-5 is installed.
I am at a bit of a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions?

Replying to my own post.
In tahr 6.0.3 despite both the groff and groff-base packages having a tick in a green background groff was not installed. After installing it there is much useful information at /usr/share/doc/groff/examples/mom
That is enough for today. I will return to this another day.
