Do you get a warning when opening that template? I am on Ubuntu 13.04 and had to install docbook and sgmltools-lite. After that, LyX tries to make a PDF for me. However, I don't think AGU requires docbook. Does it? If not, it probably shouldn't be in the template. You should probably forget about this one.

This is strange. This layout file should be included by LyX. Your answers above to which LyX version you are using could lead to clues. Before you try anything can you go to Tools > Reconfigure ? Does that complete successfully? Attached is the layout file for agutex, but this should be included with LyX. If you still get the layout error, you can copy it to your user layout directory and then run Tools > Reconfigure. Restart and see if you still get the error. agutex.lyx compiles to PDF fine for me.

It looks like only the .tex file was updated recently? Further, these files are different from the files here: ftp://ftp.agu.org/journals/latex/journals/Manuscript-Preparation/ I wonder why. We should figure out if the FTP files are old files that should be updated. Scott

I found those files with a bit of looking. agu_article.lyx opens fine in LyX and uses the AGU article (SGML) document class. But that seems to produce an xhtml file that I don't know what to do with. I just want a pdf like normal. agutex.lyx gives an error when trying to open it that there is not an appropriate layout file for the AGUTeX class. What I need (I think), and can't find, is a layout file for the AGUTeX class. FWIW, I have compiled the default AGUTeX template using the AGUTeX class using latex on the command line, so everything on the latex end should be ok. It's just the LyX layout file that's missing, I think. Is there an AGUTeX layout file somewhere that I haven't found? If not, (unfortunately?) as far as I can tell, the AGUTeX class is not based on anything else, like latex's article. I think they must have built it from the ground up. And if I read the LyX documentation right, that means the layout file is going to be a bit more tricky.If there is currently no layout file, could someone suggest a good one that I could copy to try to tweak for AGUTeX to try to get it working?
