subject:"Problems importing Tex file"

 The Fine Manual. It is a common TLA in many mailing lists.

 OK, and what is a TLA?


Three Letter Acronym!

 I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did
 not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX
 distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough
 keywords to google on!

 A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of
 programs like a Linux distro it is a compound of packages.


I see.

 Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager (and install
 svjour if it is available there). How it works should be self-explanatory or
 have a look at its documentation. When svjour is not offered by the package
 manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail.


Thanks, I think that I can take it from here. Steep learning curves
don't frighten me!

 Thank you for your patience with this noob!

Under Debian (and I guess under the Debian-based Kubuntu too),
I will have to look for svjour with the Debian package manager (apt,
aptitude, synaptic, kpackage) or apt-file.

However, `apt-file find svjour` returned only:

Additional question: For latex, it is sufficient to have contributed

I understand that `lyx --configure` will only consider installed packages and

Problems importing Tex file

was an error running tex2lyx. When I try to run tex2lyx on the file
manually I get this error:

$ tex2lyx Olga_Lavrenteva.tex
Creating file [snip_path]/Olga_Lavrenteva.lyx
Ignoring options 'dvips' of package color.
Error: Could not find layout file for textclass svjour3.

However, in the same directory there exists svjour3.cls, svjour.clo,

~/.lyx/layouts as per the tex2lyx manpage. What am I doing wrong?

These files are LaTeX files, so they must be installed to your LaTeX distribution. So copy them to 
an appropriate folder to your LaTeX distribution usually under ~\tex\latex\svjour and then use either

- the command line command texhash when your are using TeXLive under Lunix/Mac
or
- refresh the file name database in MiKTeX's settings program.
Finally restart LyX and reconfigure it.

Thanks, Uwe. I will go back to TFM as I'm not quite sure what I need
to do here. I suppose that I do not understand the difference between
tex and latex. Wikipedia says that tex is a typesetting system and
that latex is a markup language for it. So .tex files are actually
latex markup, no (like an HTML file is SGML markup, no)? There is a
lot of material to cover, is there any one concise resource for
getting up to speed quickly? I have gone through the wiki, I will
start on the Lyx tutorial now:

What is TFM? Why are you unsure?


I suppose that I do not understand the difference between
tex and latex.


But you don't need to know that. All you have to know is that LyX is a frontend to LaTeX, therefore 
it uses the LaTeX-packages you have installed in your LaTeX distribution. Installing a LaTeX-package 
is easy when you use the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. What distribution are your 
using, MiKTeX under Windows or TeXLive under Linux?
In your case you only have to install the LaTeX-package svjour to your LaTeX-distribution, that's 
all for now.

I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did
not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX
distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough
keywords to google on!

 Installing a LaTeX-package is easy when you use
 the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. What distribution are your
 using, MiKTeX under Windows or TeXLive under Linux?

As this is a Kubuntu system, should I assume that I am using TeXLive?

 In your case you only have to install the LaTeX-package svjour to your
 LaTeX-distribution, that's all for now.


I see, thanks. I now know the what to do, I will google for the how to do.

Thank you for your patience with this noob!

A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of programs like a Linux 
distro it is a compound of packages.

Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager (and install svjour if it is available 
there). How it works should be self-explanatory or have a look at its documentation. When svjour is 
not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail.

Problems importing Tex file

When I try to import a tex file, I get a messages saying that there
was an error running tex2lyx. When I try to run tex2lyx on the file
manually I get this error:

$ tex2lyx Olga_Lavrenteva.tex
Creating file [snip_path]/Olga_Lavrenteva.lyx
Ignoring options 'dvips' of package color.
Error: Could not find layout file for textclass svjour3.

However, in the same directory there exists svjour3.cls, svjour.clo,
and template.txt, and I even put a copy of those files in
~/.lyx/layouts as per the tex2lyx manpage. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

These files are LaTeX files, so they must be installed to your LaTeX distribution. So copy them to 
an appropriate folder to your LaTeX distribution usually under ~\tex\latex\svjour and then use either

- the command line command texhash when your are using TeXLive under Lunix/Mac
or
- refresh the file name database in MiKTeX's settings program.
Finally restart LyX and reconfigure it.

Thanks, Uwe. I will go back to TFM as I'm not quite sure what I need
to do here. I suppose that I do not understand the difference between
tex and latex. Wikipedia says that tex is a typesetting system and
that latex is a markup language for it. So .tex files are actually
latex markup, no (like an HTML file is SGML markup, no)? There is a
lot of material to cover, is there any one concise resource for
getting up to speed quickly? I have gone through the wiki, I will
start on the Lyx tutorial now:

I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did
not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX
