Are you referring to the the config.log created in the build process? If so I did not build. I installed via pacman (ArchLinux package manager). If not where would I find this log? Looking at the output it seems related to configuring user directory. >> LyX: reconfiguring user directory seems to indicate it is re-configuring on every run - this makes me think configuring is not successful. Also, if i run "Tools -TeX Information" all classes are listed and paths are correct.
