I am new to LATEX/LYX, and I am interested in trying it out for my thesis. I have found the LATEX style and class for my thesis (http://physics.illinois.edu/grad/thesis-templates.asp). They appear to be appropriately installed, I can see them both in MiKTeX 2.8 and they also appear in LYX in Tools:TeX Information.

Where I seem to be running into problems is with the Layout file. I have tried following the instructions in Help:Customization regarding creating a new layout file, and haven't managed to get it to work. When I go to Document:Settings:Document Class, uiucthesis does not appear. When I try "Local Layout" there, it tells me "Unable to read local layout file". Can someone either generate a layout for me from the uiucthesis2009 class/style provided, or help me figure out how to do that properly myself?

Can you post the layout file you have so far?
