I have just tried to install LyX 1.3.6 under Windows
XP. I like what I have seen but I have a problem. As
the heading says: I cannot produce any output because
LyX has marked all the layouts apparently as not
existing.
I have installed
ImageMagick-6.2.5-4-Q16-windows-dll
Ghostscript gs853w32
ActivePerl-5.6.1.638-MSWin32-x86
MiKTeX 2.4 or 2.5 ( I chose the large installation
not the total one)
msys1.1.10 (I also followed the advice in the
installation to rename make.exe -> mingw.32-make.exe
on my second installation)
LyX seems to be unable to find some components. Once
the installation is complete I loaded LyX I opened up
the Tutorial file and got the message.
TeX class error
The document uses a missing TeX class book
LyX will not be able to produce output.
I receive the same message when loading an letter
template.
Neither Export or dvi works.
However I seem to be able to input text into a
document, and save it.
I opened up the textclass.lst and found that all
classes were set to false See below for some of the
text. I checked the LyX \resources\templates and
\layouts folders and there are templates and layouts
there including aa which in Textclass.lst is reported
as false
Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to capture
all of the installation information that goes racing
by on the screen so I don't have a good listing to
check.
I have done a complete reinstall of everything with no
success.
I wonder if anyone might be able to suggest something
I might try.
Textclass.lst
# This file declares layouts and their associated
definition files
# (include dir. relative to the place where this file
is).
# It contains only default values, since chkconfig.ltx
could not be run
# for some reason. Run ./configure if you need to
update it after a
# configuration change.
"IEEEtran" "IEEEtran" "article (IEEEtran)" "false"
