Re: cannot load class problem with LyX 1.4.2 windows binary
Hi! I know what the problem is, because I also experienced it. The problem is that the layout you try to use is for a older version of LyX. When you load it in LyX 1.4.2, the layout2layout script is run in order to convert it to the format of LyX 1.4.2. The resulting layout is ok (well, I have not investigated too much) except for the last line: Input obsolete.inc If you delete this line everyting is ok. So you should: 1) Run layout2layout.py sig-alternate.layout sig-alternate_new.layout 2) Edit sig-alternate_new.layout to remove the aforementioned line 3) Rename sig-alternate_new.layout to sig-alternate.layout and copy it to the layouts folder Now the question is whether the layout2layout script should have removed the Input obsolete.inc line. Or if LyX should have pointed to this problem, rather than just saying I cannot load this class. I cannot answer to these questions! :-) Cheers, Nicolás Juergen Spitzmueller wrote: Sebastian Zander wrote: the class is also listed in Lyx-Tools-Tex Information-Latex Classes but i cannot use it :( Are the *.layout files in place?

LyX 1.4.x aborts reading the layout file if a non-existing include file is found. That is not OK, it should pop up an error message box telling that. Please add that in bugzilla. Georg

cannot load class problem with LyX 1.4.2 windows binary
Hi, after installing LyX 1.4.2 under windows xp (the small version not the bundle) i cannot work with some non-standard classes anymore (but it worked fine under LyX 1.4.1). For example i have installed the ACM template and sig-alternate.cls from: http://www.ece.iit.edu/~jgrad/lyx/ i have no problems with tex documents using the class under miktex. however, everytime i try to use the class under LyX i get the error message could not load the class (or could not convert to this class when i try to change to it under settings) and then it sets the class to the default article. but i ran reconfigure (and configure from the command line) a couple of times and in my textclass.lst i have: sig-alternate sig-alternate article (sig-alternate) true the same happens for other templates and classes i installed. i ran out of ideas and would greatly appreciate if somebody could tell me how to fix this problem! cheers, Sebastian
Re: cannot load class problem with LyX 1.4.2 windows binary
but i ran reconfigure (and configure from the command line) a couple of times and in my textclass.lst i have: sig-alternate sig-alternate article (sig-alternate) true Just to check: have you run texhash of miktex? Bo
