Hi!
I seem to be unable to import a "\documentclass{svjour3}" LaTeX
document into LyX. The tex2lyx command tells me that:
Cannot read layout file `'.
Error reading `'
(Check `svjour3')
Check your installation and try Options/Reconfigure...
Error: Could not read layout file for textclass "svjour3".
However, I am able to compile the LaTeX document using pdflatex
without problems, and I have used "Option -> Reconfigure" in LyX
several times. In addition, when starting a new LyX document, I can
without any problems select the "article (Springer svjour3/global)"
document class within the LyX document options. Exporting such a LyX
document results in a LaTeX files using "\documentclass{svjour3}. This
LaTeX files cannot be imported back into LyX due to the error
mentioned above...
What am I missing? :-)
I'm not sure what kind of bug this is, but it looks to me like maybe the
layout file is mis-named. The layout file that's used here is
svglobal3.layout. One simple solution would be:
# mkdir ~/.lyx/layouts
# cp /usr/share/lyx/layouts/svglobal.layout ~/.lyx/layouts/svjour3.layout
then reconfigure, and it should be found. Alternatively, from the
command line:
# tex2lyx -c svglobal3 myfile.tex
should work.
