Thanks rgcheck,
I have gone through the manual of configuring Lyx and there they have
explained how to include custom .clas file.
I think i followed the steps and i do see the 'liuthesis' in the Document
class option under Documents->Settings.
But When i check "liuthesis" , the system hangs. So i think i need to
elaborate the steps that i have followed.
1. I created a directory called /usr/local/texmf/latex/liuthesis and
unzipped the file under the liuthesis folder. Now the folder 'liuthesis'
contains more subdirectories.
2. Opened the texmf.cnf file and edited the TEXMFLOCAL with the path
specified in step 1.
3. Executed texhash and it created a ls-R.
4. From LyX i executed the Reconfigure command.
5. created a liuthesis.layout file and put in the directory where the LyX
installation put all the layout files, so that LyX can find it.
6. The liuthesis.layout file contain the following:
#% Do not delete this line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{liuthesis}
7. I ran Reconfigure again.
8 Restarted LyX and chose the liuthesis class from the layout option and the
program hangs.
Is there anything i missed? Where should i look into to fix this?
Regards
Sajjad
