I have a large book-sized document with several child documents. I use LyX 2.0.3 on Kubuntu 12.04.

I need to compile the file to postscript for further conversion ahead of printing.

The compilation stops with no meaningful error messages (at least for me). The log may indicate problems with images. I mostly use JPG. I have converted some images to eps after these messages, but the file wont compile anyway. Should I substitute all JPG images with eps?

The strange thing is that the file compiles OK to postscript on Windows 7 (LyX 2.0.3). Other very similar documents compiles OK to postscript on Kubuntu. Other formats such as PDFLaTeX work OK.

I don‘t know even how to begin look for a solution. Any suggestions are appreciated!

First, try posting the log here, and see if anyone can see the problem.

Second, bisect: Remove the last half of the document; see if that works. If not, remove another half. If so, put that back and remove the first half. Etc.
