Hi,

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
