The most important part (apart from renaming book.layout to svmono.layout is
that you change the second line to:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{svmono}
then you should (after Edit-Reconfigure in LyX) already be able to use it.

don't hesitate and ask.

After trying to print it contains: protocol_0.2.aux protocol_0.2.blg protocol_0.2.log protocol_0.2.tex.dep protocol_0.2.bbl protocol_0.2.dvi protocol_0.2.tex (my document is called protocol_0.2) I can open up the DVI fine and it looks just fine... Ok, this seems to be narrowing the problem down somewhat. We know that latex is running successfully, and that the DVI file exists where it should. The problem apparently lies in the setup of the call to dvi2ps. One other thing: does the log file indicate that latex.exe was able to process the source file ok? (If latex.exe didn't produce a DVI file, that would explain things.) Well it does seem to produce a DVI file alright, is it the path to my printer which is set wrong ? As mentioned in Lyx/Preferences/Printer, the Printer Command is set to dvi2ps I have tried to change it to lp, lp0, lpr and hp1300n (my printer name) - no success ... I don't think it's the path to dvi2ps, because that appeared to run in an earlier test. In a previous post, you said you got the following error message while trying to print: dvi2ps: FATAL-- can't find DVI file 6499i.dvi I interpret that to mean that dvi2ps was started by LyX (which in particular means that LyX was able to find dvi2ps), but that it was given an incorrect name for the DVI file (or else was not given the correct path to the DVI file). At this point, I probably should ask what operating system you're using. The next two things I suggest are: 1. In Edit | Preferences | Converters, make sure DVI-Postscript is set to dvi2ps -o $$o $$i. Then repeat the experiment you did above, check the temporary directory (as above) to verify that the DVI file was written, and see if the Postscript file was written there. Report back any error message you get. I know you tried exporting once before, but I'm not sure it was the same file. Use protocol_0.2 again, so that we know the document itself is not the source of any problems. 2. If dvi2ps issues an I-can't-find-the-DVI-file error message again, then I suggest writing a script that will just echo its arguments to the screen, making that your converter, and repeating the experiment. That will tell us what path and file name LyX is giving to dvi2ps. -- Paul

After trying to print it contains: protocol_0.2.aux protocol_0.2.blg protocol_0.2.log protocol_0.2.tex.dep protocol_0.2.bbl protocol_0.2.dvi protocol_0.2.tex (my document is called protocol_0.2) I can open up the DVI fine and it looks just fine... Ok, this seems to be narrowing the problem down somewhat. We know that latex is running successfully, and that the DVI file exists where it should. The problem apparently lies in the setup of the call to dvi2ps. One other thing: does the log file indicate that latex.exe was able to process the source file ok? (If latex.exe didn't produce a DVI file, that would explain things.) Well it does seem to produce a DVI file alright, is it the path to my printer which is set wrong ? As mentioned in Lyx/Preferences/Printer, the Printer Command is set to dvi2ps I have tried to change it to lp, lp0, lpr and hp1300n (my printer name) - no success ... I don't think it's the path to dvi2ps, because that appeared to run in an earlier test. In a previous post, you said you got the following error message while trying to print: dvi2ps: FATAL-- can't find DVI file 6499i.dvi I interpret that to mean that dvi2ps was started by LyX (which in particular means that LyX was able to find dvi2ps), but that it was given an incorrect name for the DVI file (or else was not given the correct path to the DVI file). At this point, I probably should ask what operating system you're using. The next two things I suggest are: 1. In Edit | Preferences | Converters, make sure DVI-Postscript is set to dvi2ps -o $$o $$i. Then repeat the experiment you did above, check the temporary directory (as above) to verify that the DVI file was written, and see if the Postscript file was written there. Report back any error message you get. I know you tried exporting once before, but I'm not sure it was the same file. Use protocol_0.2 again, so that we know the document itself is not the source of any problems. 2. If dvi2ps issues an I-can't-find-the-DVI-file error message again, then I suggest writing a script that will just echo its arguments to the screen, making that your converter, and repeating the experiment. That will tell us what path and file name LyX is giving to dvi2ps. -- Paul When I start LyX from the CLI, it creates a folder in /tmp called lyx_tmpdir173890IKUef which is empty. When I open protocol_0.2, it creates a folder inside /tmp/lyx_tmpdir173890IKUef which is empty. When I try to print protocol_2, it creates the following 7 files: protocol_0.2.aux protocol_0.2.blg protocol_0.2.log protocol_0.2.tex.dep protocol_0.2.bbl protocol_0.2.dvi protocol_0.2.tex ... thus far all is well (I guess...)

you should get a working layout if you just copy and rename the book layout

Trying the article(linuxdoc) option, I get 2 distinct problems. Before delving deeper into them can anyone offer suggestions. 1. Runs OK as root but will not produce a .dvi file as a normal user. The problem seems to be missing .pk files. Presumably a permission problem or something wrong with my configuration. 2. The .dvi produced a. is ugly. Big bold headings (sans serif), deep indenting, unproportionately small type for normal text. (this is probably related to missing fonts above). Maybe I have been spoilt by LyX's normally superb typesetting. b. Does not conform to the description in the LyX Exended Features manual. In particular, there is no thick line under the page headers. This would seem to be a stylesheet issue. My system: SuSE 8.0, LyX 1.3.2 (xforms) Installed RPMs: sgml-skel-0.2-122, sgmltoo1-1.0.9-505, sgmltools-3.0.2-367 Somewhat perversely, I have found a table I created did come out OK (despite an earlier email saying this was unsupported). Hope someone can shed some light on this. John O'Gorman

All 840 bytes worth. :-) I suppose that I can just add the Springer .cls file to it, but ... there's a lot there I cannot place in the very few categories I see in the .layout file. No! DO NOT add .cls file to .layout. Repeat five times: .layout file has nothing common with LaTeX! .layout file just does two things: a) puts some hints to LyX how to present particular paragraph in the editing window (and well, if it is not most beautiful presentation nothing happens because it has no relevance for LaTeX output), b) makes 1:1 mapping between LyX paragraphs and LaTeX environments (and possibly adds material which should be add to preamble). Again, repeat: (usually) NO MACROS are necessary in .layout file. Sorry for shouting (and part of the sound is directed to the authors of documentation which slightly obscures this stuff).

you should get a working layout if you just copy and rename the book layout

Trying the article(linuxdoc) option, I get 2 distinct problems. Before delving deeper into them can anyone offer suggestions. 1. Runs OK as root but will not produce a .dvi file as a normal user. The problem seems to be missing .pk files. Presumably a permission problem or something wrong with my configuration. 2. The .dvi produced a. is ugly. Big bold headings (sans serif), deep indenting, unproportionately small type for normal text. (this is probably related to missing fonts above). Maybe I have been spoilt by LyX's normally superb typesetting. b. Does not conform to the description in the LyX Exended Features manual. In particular, there is no thick line under the page headers. This would seem to be a stylesheet issue. My system: SuSE 8.0, LyX 1.3.2 (xforms) Installed RPMs: sgml-skel-0.2-122, sgmltoo1-1.0.9-505, sgmltools-3.0.2-367 Somewhat perversely, I have found a table I created did come out OK (despite an earlier email saying this was unsupported).
