I know this is a LaTeX (or Tex-live) question, but it keeps me from running LyX:
I upgraded from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04; now kpsewhich requires root permissions: e.g. "kpsewhich article.cls" returns nothins, but "sudo kpsewhich article.cls" returns the correct path. Hence, LyX seems to work fine when invoked as root, but not as an ordinary user. Does anyone know how to debug this? I used synaptic to uninstall, then reinstall texlive, but that had now effect. All of the ls-R files appear to be world readable. Running (sudo) texhash doesn't change anything. /usr/bin/kpsewhich has world-executable permissions. ...thanks!...dave case
