I have finally upgraded from LyX 1.3.5 to 1.4.2 after finishing
a big project in 1.3. LyX 1.4.2 seems to launch fine, but when I
try to open a new document I get the "Can't load document class
error". Eventually a new document opens, but every click or
keystroke brings up the spinning beach ball and eventually LyX
hangs. Activity viewer shows a python script running and eating
up 75-80% of the CPU before it hangs. I presume it is
configure.py? But I'm not sure what the problem is? I've tried
reconfigure, rehash and all the text classes show up in the TeX
Info window. Any ideas?
Is there any output in Console.app as this happens?
You might also try running LyX from the Terminal to show
debugging information. The following will spit out too much info,
but it would be interesting to see what it says when you try then
to open a new document:
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx -dbg any
(Of course, substitute the appropriate path to LyX.app for /
Applications if you have LyX somewhere else.)

Below is what I get in the console, similar output from lyx -dbg.
It just keeps sending out the same error output over and over
until I force quit.
I noticed that my permissions on ~/Library/ are set to "rwx------".
Does that prevent lyx.app from reading the layout files?

This tells me that you've got stdclass.inc in your LyX *User's*
folder, which I'm assuming you must have customized for your 1.3.x
installation. When you upgraded to 1.4.2, the LyX-Installer copied
your LyX User's folder from ~/Library/Application Support/LyX to ~/
Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4. However, I suspect the problem
is the resulting incompatibility between the layout files (and
hence stdclass.inc) between 1.3.x and 1.4.x.
So, if you move stdclass.inc out of the LyX-1.4 User's folder and
restart LyX, this problem should be solved. (I hope!)
Bennett
Yes, that was the problem. I removed my customized stdclass.inc from
the Users layout folder and everything works fine.
What is the difference with the new layout format? Do I just need to
add "Format 2" at the beginning? I have a number of other customized
layout files that I would like to keep using. Thanks for the help.
