Sorry to have been too terse in my original note.
By "[reconfigure, etc...]" I meant the process of doing
Options->Reconfigure then exiting LyX and restarting it.
The docs are quite clear about that process.
When I ran lyx -dbg 2, the reconfigure produced these lines:
checking LaTeX configuration... auto
+Inspecting your LaTeX configuration.
+checking for LaTeX version... 1998/12/01
+checking for default encoding (this may take a long time)
+ checking for ec fonts... yes
+ checking for ec support in LaTeX format... yes
+checking for document class myclass [report, myclass.sty]... no
So it clearly was not finding "myclass" but just as clearly it
knew that it should be looking for it.
I was trying to take the smallest first step at customization,
creating a new "document class" derived from an existing one.
It turns out I took a bigger step than I realized---I was in
effect trying to introduce a new .sty, thinking I could
simply work with a .layout.
When I change the declaration line in myclass.layout to:
\DeclareLaTeXClass[report]{myclass}
I see "myclass" in the list of document classes in the
Layout->Document popup.
Now I can proceed, with all the great examples on the web page
and elsewhere. I hope this bit of info helps some other clown
who may be taking first steps at customization.
