yes that worked thanks. I think I tried reconfigure before, but it didn't solve the problem. Is this because I hadn't updated ls-R?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
A textclass error is something entirely separate. That is lyx complaining, not latex. Does Edit->Reconfigure resolve your problem?
is there a good tutorial or documentation that i can read about how cls, sty files etc work. it will save me asking some pretty dumb questions!
