Thanks again Julien. This is the output I get after clicking LyX/Reconfigure (note there's no Tools/Reconfigure in my version) when launching lyx with -dbg tclass. I looked up the latexconfig.lyx file mentioned in the end, but it wasn't very enlightening. Does this give you any hint to why the reconfiguration failed? start quote------------------------------------------------------------ checking for a Latex2e program... +checking for "latex"... yes
