Missing class and layout files

[Janmaat, John]

Hello,

I just installed lyx on an openSUSE 12.1 linux system, from the distribution.  
It reports


  Due to some error in it, the layout file:
  DocBook chapter (SGML)
  could not be loaded. A default textclass with default
  layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce
  correct output


on launch.  For any template I try to open, it reports that the layout file is 
missing and the class file is missing.
When I try to reconfigure it, the message I get is


  The system reconfiguration has failed.
  Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly.
  Please reconfigure again if needed.


Help!

What is the terminal output? That should tell us the specific step at
which reconfigure failed. Something is going wrong with LyX finding
your LaTeX installation. Are you using TexLive? Which version? If not,
I think you should install that first.
