I am running RH 5.2 kernel 2.2.7 and I have tried both lyx-0.12 and lyx-1.0.3pre2 and I get the following two errors: 1. When i type lyx i get an Alert window with the following error message: LyX wasn't able to find it's layout descriptions! Check that the file "textclass.lst" is installed correctly. Sorry, has to exit :-( I get around the problem by typing lyx -sysdir /usr/local/share/lyx (from the man page) 2. When I load a file I cannot view it with viewdvi, or postscript view. I get the following Alert three times: Error: Could not change to directory: /tmp/lyx_tmp11766aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11766aaa Success I suspect this has to do with improper configuration but any help would be appreciated! TIA, Clive.
