PS Bennett suggested running texhash, but Viktor replied: "Running texhash as root, LyX-Setup and Edit->Reconfigure doesn't help either... it still can't find any classes"

I'm setting up a new pool configuration for my university's computer lab. I
did a fresh install of teTeX, Ghostscript et al. using the newest
i-Installer, then I installed LyX. Unfortunately, LyX is not able to find
any textclasses (article, book, ...) - of course they exist, and
TeX-frontends like iTeXMac are able to produce nice LaTeX output.
But the paths to, say, article.sty aren't the same as they were in previous
i-Installer teTeX installations: Now the tex/ subdirectory is below
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex, and NOT below
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf which also exists! (For this reason, I cannot
make a link texmf -> texmf.tetex)
I experienced this problem using LyX 1.3.4 under both Mac OS 10.2.8 and
10.3.4 with newest i-Installer teTeX versions.
I cannot duplicate Viktor's experience. I recently (8.vii.2004) installed teTeX on a new MacOS-10.3.x machine with the i-Installer; the tex subdirectory is below /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex. I then installed LyX/Mac from the binary package. LyX/Mac works fine, finds the article, book and other classes. I did not need any special links to make this work.
The locations of teTeX binaries are hard-coded into LyX-Mac-1.3.4. The location of the TeX hierarchy is set during the Edit -> Reconfigure phase of the installation. Could Viktor have forgotten that?
