I'm trying to install the memoir class package for use within LyX. I've missed a turn somewhere and am now lost. Here's what I did:
Went to CTAN and downloaded memoir.dtx and memoir.ins (and the huge pdf manual). Fired up the "configuration" document under LyX's Help menu and went to section 5.1 Installing a new LaTeX package. Read and followed all instructions. My local directory is /usr/local/share/tetex/tex/latex. In there I made a new subdirectory, memoir/ and put the two downloaded files in there. No instructions on installing; no tarball. Ran texhash. From within LyX ran Edit (not Options) > Reconfigure, then closed and restarted LyX. No 'memoir' when I load my book and check in Layout > Document > Class. Please pass me a clue here. Thanks, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
