Hi Andrew,
This is the mailing list for LyX documentation, you'll get a much better
response if you ask on the user's list:
lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org
(My guess is that you don't have the right LaTeX classes installed, but
I'm confident you'll get a quick answer from the user's list!)
Best regards,
/Christian

I'm trying to write a science thesis and somebody suggested that I use
LyX. From what I can tell it looks great, but I can't get it to work on
my computer. I'm running Mac OSX 10.3.9, and I've downloaded LyX as
well as MacText (or LaText). My friend told me that what I have to do
next is choose "New" from the File Menu, and the go to "Settings" in the
Document Menu. When I do that, however, and try to choose my Document
Class, it tells me that all of the options are Unavailable. What am I
doing wrong?
Also, every time I try to use LyX and then quit the program, a message comes
up saying "Could not remove the temporary directory
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir422MMIJZP/lyx_tmpbuf0". Is that a problem, or is that normal?
Thank you very much,
Andrew Whelan
