[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#299111: lyx: lyrc.defaults should have a ps "gv --swap" instead of ps "gv -swap"

[Niklaus Giger]

Sorry for reporting this "bug".

I just found out, that there was a old home compiled version of lyx lying=20
around in /usr/local (which is the default of configure in lyx. I usually d=
o=20
a configure --prefix=3D/opt, but I think I forgot this once. Purging the ol=
d=20
copy showed me that LyX no uses correctly
/usr/share/lyx/scripts/lyxview.sh
to display PostScript output.

I checked this with a empty .lyx-directory and the output is the same.
Sorry for having created you work.

Please close this "bug".

Best regards
