However, a LaTeX distribution is usually a part of a Linux distribution. Most modern day Linux distribution come with a re-packed TeXLive. >>> Installing a LaTeX-package is easy when you use the package manager >>> of your LaTeX distribution.

So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager ... While I have a TeXLive based LaTeX installation on my Debian GNU/Linux system, I cannot "open TeXLive" and the TeXLive package manager is not part of my installation. Under Debian (and I guess under the Debian-based Kubuntu too), I will have to look for svjour with the Debian package manager (apt, aptitude, synaptic, kpackage) or apt-file. However, `apt-file find svjour` returned only: lyx-common: /usr/share/lyx/layouts/svjour.inc texmacs-common: /usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/styles/springer/svjour.ts so it comes down to ... > ...

Additional question: For latex, it is sufficient to have contributed class and package files (like svjour.cls) in the work direc (pwd). I understand that `lyx --configure` will only consider installed packages and classes, but could tex2lyx be made aware of "support files" in the pwd? Günter
