I've been using LyX for several years now on Fedora Linux, Windows XP,
and OS X. I've never had any trouble adding extra layouts or text classes.
Recently, I switched to Ubuntu Linux (8.04 -- Hardy Heron). LyX will not
allow me to reconfigure. I even did a fresh install without my additions
and it simply will not reconfigure.
The exact message is:
The system reconfiguration has failed.
Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly.
Please reconfigure again if needed.
I've done a lot of reading and I'm not the only one who has run into
this, but I have not seen how to solve it.
Can someone please help me?
