I am trying to get LyX @1.6.7_0+python25 (active) to be configured to use new document classes.
The Mac lyx website http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MacInstall says to use: Installing document classes that are "Unavailable" The "Document class" setting has a pop-up menu of many classes. At the end of the list are the "Unavailable" classes which are ones that LyX knows about but doesn't have the .cls file for. Let's say you want to make the "article (Springer LNCS)" class become available. First download the archive of LaTeX2e files from their site<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-72376-0#anchor5>. Then install the files therein to your TeX installation. If you installed TeX using MacPorts/DarwinPorts, you can do this by unzipping that directory to /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/llncs2e. Then run `sudo texhash` to let the system know about them. Then run LyX and choose Reconfigure from the application menu and restart. When you start again, the document class should be available. But on my machine: ls /opt/local/share/texmf-dist ls: /opt/local/share/texmf-dist: No such file or directory So now I look for a texmf: ls /opt/local/share/texmf* /opt/local/share/texmf: ls-R web2c /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive: asymptote dvipdfm dvips ls-R tex texdoc ttf2pk xdvi doc dvipdfmx fonts scripts texconfig texdoctk web2c xindy /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist: bibtex doc fonts makeindex metapost omega source vtex context dvips ls-R metafont mft scripts tex So, which one is my current Lyx using? /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/tex/latex seems to have quite a bit more than the non-dist. With this current set up, many standard classes are not available. These (such as RevTex or SIAM) are usually there when one installs MacTex-Live: http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/ What am I missing or doing incorrect? <>Srinath
