The instructions you linked to are out of date in places and incomplete with reference to dealing with MacTeX.
Put the xetexCV.cls file here: ~/Library/texmf Reconfigure is under the LyX menu: LyX -> Reconfigure When you start your document, point it to your local layout: Document -> Settings -> Document Class -> Local Layout... The instruction to enable 'Use XeLaTex' is obsolete. Set the default output to 'PDF(XeTeX) in Document -> Settings -> Output -> Default Output Format: and use either Command-R or the toolbar icon to typeset to a PDF. -- Rich On Sat, Dec 28, 2013 at 12:29 PM, justin <justina...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I wanted to install xetexCV document class. > I have been trying to follow these instructions: > http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/19/latex-cv-part4 > > I am using Lyx 2.0.6, and the newest MacTex I guess since I downloaded it a > few days ago.
