Dear Stefano
Thanks a lot for checking and providing this information. The strange
thing is that I use 1.6.5, so one should assume that if it is fine on
1.5.8, it is fine on 1.6.5. Or are you actually in 1.6.8 (I think the
default for Ubuntu 10.10)?
Thanks a lot
Matthieu

Hi
Thanks to you Christopher, Paul and Richard for your answer! Sorry
if I did not thank earlier, I had not realised (not e-mail notif)
that you had replied! Below my answer
> You have a space in the path to the file. Does it work if
you escape the space?
Or rename the file to eliminate it? Linux sometimes doesn't
play well with filenames containing whitespace.

Unfortunately, it still does not work even when the path contains
no spaces. Also, it does not work neither with relative or
absolute paths. Most surpsisingly, it does not work even when I
put the .sty file in the temp file used by Lyx...
Do you have any idea how I can use a package that is not in the
texmf tree? I just tried adding this package:
http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/share/texmf/tex/latex/Sweave.sty
Do you have the same problem on your confugrations (mine is Lyx
1.5.6 on Ubuntu 10.4)?
Hi Mat,
I can offer no specific help, but I can confirm that loading packages
outside of the texmf tree works for me when you specify the absolute
path. I often use lines such as:
\usepackage{/home/stefano/Papers/The-paper-I-am-working-on/Package-file.sty}
I am on Ubuntu 10.10 with Texlive 2010 and Lyx 1.5.8.
Have you thought about putting your packages in the local branch of
the texmf tree, though? In my understanding, ~/texmf is meant to be
used for personal packages, customized versions of standard packages,
etc. I had the habit of working with customized LaTeX code in the
document´s directory, but I then switched to the local branch of the
texmf tree and I think it works better. Less clutter, fewer
possibilities of version conflicts, etcetera.
Cheer,
Stefano
Thanks a lot
Matthieu

Hi
I wish to use local latex class in my lyx document. Were
it pure latex code, I could have written:
\usepackage{./newclass}
when the .sty is at the same level than the .tex. Now, I
have some problems doing so with lyx, I tried adding this
in the preamble, either with a relative path or an
absolute one, but unfortunately it does unfortunately not
work, I get an error message...
Latex Error: File newclass.sty not found
And below the error message, a quite cryptic: cannot \read
from terminal in nonstop mode...
Do you see what I do wrong? I checked the doc but did not
find mention on how to use local packages, is there
something? Do you see how I can solve the problem?
Why not just put the package somewhere LaTeX can find it?
It should work with an absolute path.
Richard
