The bash-complete script does not work. It calls "have lyx" but have is not a
program. Commenting out the line in /usr/share/lyx/scripts/bash-completion
it can be sourced, but bash-completion dos not load it "on demand". The link
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/lyx -> ../../lyx/scripts/bash_completion

is in place. However,
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/lyx
complete -F _lyx lyx

make it work.

Strange "have()" should have been defined in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
which should be called via /etc/bash_completion

But it does not work here either. Not completion expert, but I see bunch of other scripts
using "have" as well so I wonder whether this is wider issue.

Pavel

Thanks for the prompt reply.

FIXED!
I am attaching the script.

The other scripts use "_have". And at the end of the script, for
example in evince, the completion command is given.

Test. Launch an xterm running bash.
complete -p |grep lyx
returns nothing
lyx <space><tab><tab>
gives list corresponding to 'ls *lyx'
complete -p |grep lyx
outputs: complete -F _lyx lyx


Same patern than, for example, evince.

I think the end of script should be different though.
See attached. Does this script work the way you expect?

Pavel

I work as well as the other.
The important thing is to tell "complete" the function it has to use
(-F _lyx) when it receives the command "lyx"
