the article says to put cv.cls somewhere in latex's path: it's
in/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx/ so surely it should be fine, with
the layout file?
   

No! latex does not read the contents of these directories. It reads a 
database file 'ls-R' usually found at /usr/share/texmf/ls-R.

So, update this file by
$ cd /usr/share/texmf
$ texhash
and latex will be able to find your new cv.cls file.

 

i have updated the db file, but i still get the same textclass error. 
the cv class is in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx/cv.cls and i'm loading 
/usr/share/lyx/examples/cv.lyx
