I am still in trouble. Trying to use powerdot under lyx I get an error LaTeX Error: File `xkeyval.sty' not found. \RequirePackage{xkeyval}[2005/07/10] ^^M *** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)
although I have downloaded it from CTAN (.zip, extracted) and installed it in ~/texmf/xkeyval/ Help much appreciated: Wolfgang
