I think that I would also suggest that an "advanced idiot" (;-)) doesn't
use LyX 1.3.6pre just yet. There are some bugs in the underlyxing Qt/Win
Free library that can cause a hard crash. See
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre#known_bugs
Moving on to the specific problem.
Can you open a MinSYS console (since you have installed MinSYS) and type:
$ cd /c/Program\ Files/LyX/Resources/lyx
$ ls
Does the file "textclass.lst" really not exist? Assuming not, type
$ sh configure --keep-temps 2>&1 > configure.log
(You'll need to have Administrator privileges for this to work if you have
installed LyX at this location.)
This will save all output from the configure script to a file
configure.log. Have a look at it with your favourite text editor. Does it
tell you anything interesting?
You may need to convert the line endings of configure.log from DOS to UNIX
style --- notepad gets horribly confused and prints out the entire file as
a single line if it has UNIX style line endings. If so, use the attached
sed script, so:
$ sed -f unix2dos.sed configure.log > tmp
$ mv -f tmp configure.log
Here, of course, configure runs successfully leaving me with all these
files:
$ ls
bind doc lyxrc.defaults texput.log
chkconfig.sed examples Makefile textclass.lst
chkconfig.vars help packages.lst ui
chklayouts.tex images reLyX wrap_chkconfig.log
clipart kbd scripts wrap_chkconfig.ltx
configure.log layouts templates xfonts
Let's see what happens for you.
