Create /usr/local/share/texmf
Then create tex under texmf
Then create latex underneath tex
/usr/local/share/texmf
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex
/usr/local/share/texmf/latex
Extract your packages under the latex directory:

I have the following packages installed:

algorithms/
epigraph/
IEEEtran/
kom-script/
memoir/
paper/
prettyref/
runic/
svjour/
tugboat/
Read the instructions under each latex package that are separate from 
the instructions within the LyX -Customization section, which are on 
the CTAN tex archive site.

For example: Memoir
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/?action=/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/
excerpt:

   To install the package:
o run: latex memoir.ins (which will generate memoir.cls,
and a set of mem*.clo files)
o run: latex memoir.dtx
  For an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist memoir
o run: latex memoir.dtx
o Print memoir.dvi for a hardcopy of the documented code
o Move memoir.cls, the mem*.clo files and any mem*.sty file to locations
 where LaTeX will find them (typically in a local texmf tree at
 /tex/latex/memoir) and refresh the file database.
 See the FAQ on CTAN at help/uk-tex-faq
 or http://www.tug.ac.uk/faq for more information on this.
   To process memman.tex
o Make sure you can use the memoir class and the alltt, fixltx2e,
 layouts and url packages.
o Run (pdf)latex twice on memman.tex
o For an index run: makeindex -s memman.ist memman
o Run (pdf)latex twice more on memman.tex
o Print the manual
NOTE: you'll find that this process is repeatable with all .ins and .dtx 
files.

Then apply the texhash command spoken of from within LyX-Customization 
from Step 5

It will create the following file:

/usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R

The apply step 6 which states:

6. From within LyX, do: OptionsReconfigure. Restart LyX.

Verify it works by then checking your Help-LaTeX configuration

Of course it will then show up in the Layout-Document-Document 
Style-Document class list view.

I haven't had one of the packages that LaTeX configuration has support 
for not work.

The memoir class even has a very recent patch to it which I'll have to 
check because it does have bugs outside of LyX.

Problem installing new document class

Sorry, I just noticed the replies are in the list only. I have another
question about this though.

I don't have root access, thus cann't touch the tex directory. Is
there anyway of installing these style and class files somewhere else?

  You'll want to put the .sty and .cls files with others in their
tribe. On
my RH 7.3 system (with LyX-1.3.3) I would put the .sty files in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/ and the .cls file in
/usr/share/texmf/ptex/platex/base/.

  Then, as root, run 'texhash'.

LaTeX doesn't know to look in the .lyx directory.
Your directory tree should have
/usr/share/texmf
which contains the 'standard' tex distribution. Note the 'ls-R' file. 
This is generated by runing 'texhash' and contains a listing of all 
files in your /usr/share/texmf directory tree. The tex search engine 
uses this and other, similar files to find stuff.

Personally, I would create
/usr/local/share/texmf
and add the new files to that:
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart12.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart.cls

I'm surprised that you don't have amssymb.sty in your distribution.
$ grep amssymb.sty /usr/share/texmf/ls-R

Assuming that you don't, add it to your local files. Eg:
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/amssymb/amssymb.sty

Finally, from /usr/local/share/texmf, run texhash to update the tex 
database.

You need to run texhash to update your tex installation after 
downloading the sty and cls files. Also, you may want to put these 
files in a folder that tex searches (such as your local texmf tree; 
if you don't have one, it may be a good idea to create it). Or you 
can also run texhash from .lyx/layouts/ and it should be able to add 
it to the database. Take a look at Chapter 5 in Customization.lyx

  You'll want to put the .sty and .cls files with others in their
tribe. On
my RH 7.3 system (with LyX-1.3.3) I would put the .sty files in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/ and the .cls file in
/usr/share/texmf/ptex/platex/base/.

  Then, as root, run 'texhash'.

  Run this again, shut-down LyX, and restart it. You should find your
styles
there.

LaTeX doesn't know to look in the .lyx directory.
Your directory tree should have
/usr/share/texmf
which contains the 'standard' tex distribution. Note the 'ls-R' file. 
This is generated by runing 'texhash' and contains a listing of all 
files in your /usr/share/texmf directory tree. The tex search engine 
uses this and other, similar files to find stuff.

Personally, I would create
/usr/local/share/texmf
and add the new files to that:
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart12.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/elsart/elsart.cls

I'm surprised that you don't have amssymb.sty in your distribution.
$ grep amssymb.sty /usr/share/texmf/ls-R

Assuming that you don't, add it to your local files. Eg:
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/amssymb/amssymb.sty

Finally, from /usr/local/share/texmf, run texhash to update the tex 
database.

and installed it in ~/.lyx/layouts

In the same directory I have elsart.sty, elsart12.sty and elsart.cls
You need to run texhash to update your tex installation after 
downloading the sty and cls files. Also, you may want to put these 
files in a folder that tex searches (such as your local texmf tree; 
if you don't have one, it may be a good idea to create it). Or you 
can also run texhash from .lyx/layouts/ and it should be able to add 
it to the database. Take a look at Chapter 5 in Customization.lyx 
(Help -> Customization) - it deals with these issues.

I ran lyx->reconfigure.

In the output it says:

+checking for document class elsart [elsart,amssymb.sty]... no
Yeah, the above will hopefully take care of it..

Does LaTeX find it there?

Shouldn't this better go to somewhere else?

Have you run texhash?

I have lyx1.3.3 installed on RH7.3

I downloaded the elsart.layout from

http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/

and installed it in ~/.lyx/layouts

In the same directory I have elsart.sty, elsart12.sty and elsart.cls
that I downloaded from elsevier and amssymb.sty that I downloaded from
this is the wrong directory. The right one depends to
the root access and what directories are searched by TeX.
For example on my system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> kpsepath tex
.:/home/voss/texmf/tex/generic//:!!/opt/texlive/texmf-var/tex/generic//:
/opt/texlive/texmf-local/tex/generic//:!!/opt/texlive/texmf/tex/generic//:
/home/voss/texmf/tex///:!!/opt/texlive/texmf-var/tex///:
/opt/texlive/texmf-local/tex///:!!/opt/texlive/texmf/tex///:
/home/voss/.TeX:/usr/share/doc/.TeX:/usr/doc/.TeX
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>
I have all local files in /opt/texlive/texmf-local/tex/

Another good choice is

/home/voss/texmf/tex/

because you need no root access.

I ran lyx->reconfigure.
this is only important for the layout file. For the TeX part
run first texhash and then reconfigure from within LyX.

Yes, you are wrong, both about MacOS and about TeX installations.  One
software management utility (fink) puts MacOS software in /sw; it is
not an official part of MacOS.  (Many Unix versions put optional
software in /opt; by your standards are they also not real Unix?)

As Herbert noted, modern TeX installations include a texmf.local

If your own TeX installation does not have a texmf.local directory,
Matej, you might want to consider updating.  Be careful that the local

Matej,

Mac's run Unix, and there are quite a few teTeX installations which
overwrite /usr/local/teTeX.

Problem installing new document class

[Sander Klous]

Hi,

I have lyx1.3.3 installed on RH7.3

I downloaded the elsart.layout from

http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/

and installed it in ~/.lyx/layouts

In the same directory I have elsart.sty, elsart12.sty and elsart.cls
that I downloaded from elsevier and amssymb.sty that I downloaded from

http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/Docs/InsightDocuments/Latex/amssymb.sty?cvsroot=Insight

I ran lyx-reconfigure.

In the output it says:

+checking for document class elsart [elsart,amssymb.sty]... no

And I don't get a listing in lyx-document-class.

What's wrong?

Thanks,
Sander

  You'll want to put the .sty and .cls files with others in their tribe. On
my RH 7.3 system (with LyX-1.3.3) I would put the .sty files in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/ and the .cls file in
/usr/share/texmf/ptex/platex/base/.

  Then, as root, run 'texhash'.

 I ran lyx-reconfigure.

there.

Since when is Elsevier in Poland (platex in tex/platex is a clone

Actually, it would be better to put new files that are not part of the
normal teTeX distribution in .../share/texmf.local/tex/latex/.  The
