Underneath LyX Help there is a section about adding classes and other packages.
Inside the instructions it makes mention that texhash needs to be run. I am not exactly sure where Ron has set up LyX/Mac local package support but I'm sure Mr. Florence has some better information on this matter. For myself Debian GNU/Linux my stuff goes under /usr/local/share/texmf/ which consists of the following layout: /usr/local/share/texmf/ ->ls -R and tex/ underneath tex/ is /latex/ underneath latex/ are my packages in their own directories named exactly like their macro names. memoir has a memoir/ pdfdraftcopy has a pdfdraftcopy/ so on and so forth. At /usr/local/share/texmf I run texhash /usr/local/share/texmf>texhash It regenerates what packages are available and includes them inside the ls-R file. Launch LyX and run Reconfigure works for me every time. -Marc On Saturday 26 June 2004 02:15 am, Nirmal Govind wrote: > Hi..
