how would you control the different styles of memoir?
book - article - ...
If you write the layout file in this way, then you have
chapters with the article option, too. And so the
counting of the sections is wrong.

I'm trying to install the memoir class package for use within LyX. I've
missed a turn somewhere and am now lost. Here's what I did:
Rich,
the procedure is, unfortunately, slightly more complicated.
Went to CTAN and downloaded memoir.dtx and memoir.ins (and the huge pdf
manual).
OK.
Fired up the configuration document under LyX's Help menu and went to
section 5.1 Installing a new LaTeX package. Read and followed all
instructions. My local directory is /usr/local/share/tetex/tex/latex. In
there I made a new subdirectory, memoir/ and put the two downloaded files
in there. No instructions on installing; no tarball. Ran texhash. From
within LyX ran Edit (not Options) Reconfigure, then closed and restarted
LyX.
First, you have to extract the package. That is, run latex memoir.ins and
latex memoir.dtx in the memoir directory. The former will extract the
actual packages (i.e. the *.cls, *.sty and *.clo files), the latter the
documentation. Now run texhash. LaTeX is then ready for memoir.
No 'memoir' when I load my book and check in Layout Document Class.
You need a corresponding lyx layout file for the memoir class. Unfortunately,
there isn't any yet. The memoir package is very powerful, so someone has to
spend the time to write a lyx layout which is appropriate. However, the
attached layout file is a poor man's solution. It supports the basic
environments (i.e. those which are also in the standard book class) and the
additional font sizes of memoir. At least you can use memoir inside LyX. You
have to use ERT (TeX mode) for more sophisticated things, though.
If it is of some use for you, put it in ~/.lyx/layouts, run Edit-Reconfigure
from within LyX and restart. You should then be able to use memoir.
Regards,
Jürgen.

No .sty files created. only .clo and .cls.

I suppose that this is terribly complex and time consuming. I'd be happy

of my naivety of LaTeX and LyX.

What's the next debugging step?
Also, as my book (created with pdflatex; printed to .ps, run through

each new Part page) I've something else going on here. Herbert's been
helping me but all I discover is that this document -- and every one,

yes, probably.

It's not that complex, but you have to get used to lyx's layout language. A
first step, however, would be, if you could figure out which environments are
still unsupported and tell me (maybe with a hint to the corrsponding page in
the manual). The point is, I do not use memoir myself that much (I am quite
happy with KOMA), so I don't know the class very much.
However, the attached layout file is a poor man's solution. It supports
the basic environments (i.e. those which are also in the standard book
class) and the additional font sizes of memoir. At least you can use

What's the next debugging step?
start lyx from the console, run edit-reconfigure and send the output of the
console, please. It is especially important if there is a line like
+checking for document class memoir [memoir]... yes
Also, as my book (created with pdflatex; printed to .ps, run through

Juergen,
Oh! I have those, too. But, they came from a memoir.zip file I had sitting
in my home directory. I don't have any memoir.sty that was created when I
ran 'latex ' on the .dtx and .ins files. My misunderstanding.
It's not that complex, but you have to get used to lyx's layout language. A
first step, however, would be, if you could figure out which environments are
still unsupported and tell me (maybe with a hint to the corrsponding page in
the manual). The point is, I do not use memoir myself that much (I am quite
happy with KOMA), so I don't know the class very much.
Later today I'll print out the memoir manual and read it.
start lyx from the console, run edit-reconfigure and send the output of the
console, please. It is especially important if there is a line like

Nope. Not there. The output log file is attached.
Hmm... hard to tell without an example document.
Yes. I was just venting my frustration at not being productive again
today. Herbert's helping, but I need to get all this running properly.

Rich,
OK, then LyX does not find the layout file. Are you shure you have put it in
the /layouts directory of your lyx user directory (normally ~/.lyx)? What
happens if you put it in the /layouts directory of the lyx installation tree
(/usr/local/share/lyx/layouts for instance)?
You can use the attached v0.002 which features some more memoir stuff.
Hmm... hard to tell without an example document.

I'm trying to install the memoir class package for use within LyX. I've
missed a turn somewhere and am now lost. Here's what I did:
Rich,
the procedure is, unfortunately, slightly more complicated.
Went to CTAN and downloaded memoir.dtx and memoir.ins (and the huge pdf
manual).
OK.
Fired up the configuration document under LyX's Help menu and went to
section 5.1 Installing a new LaTeX package. Read and followed all
instructions. My local directory is /usr/local/share/tetex/tex/latex. In
there I made a new subdirectory, memoir/ and put the two downloaded files
in there. No instructions on installing; no tarball. Ran texhash. From
within LyX ran Edit (not Options) Reconfigure, then closed and restarted
LyX.
First, you have to extract the package. That is, run latex memoir.ins and
latex memoir.dtx in the memoir directory. The former will extract the
actual packages (i.e. the *.cls, *.sty and *.clo files), the latter the
documentation. Now run texhash. LaTeX is then ready for memoir.
No 'memoir' when I load my book and check in Layout Document Class.
You need a corresponding lyx layout file for the memoir class. Unfortunately,
there isn't any yet. The memoir package is very powerful, so someone has to
spend the time to write a lyx layout which is appropriate. However, the
attached layout file is a poor man's solution. It supports the basic
environments (i.e. those which are also in the standard book class) and the
additional font sizes of memoir. At least you can use memoir inside LyX. You
have to use ERT (TeX mode) for more sophisticated things, though.
If it is of some use for you, put it in ~/.lyx/layouts, run Edit-Reconfigure
from within LyX and restart. You should then be able to use memoir.
Regards,
Jürgen.
Please pass me a clue here.

Except that it still does not show up in the available classes. Sigh.
What's the next debugging step?
Also, as my book (created with pdflatex; printed to .ps, run through
ps2pdf) hangs when paged trough using acroread (on the blank pages following
each new Part page) I've something else going on here. Herbert's been
helping me but all I discover is that this document -- and every one,
including new and of all classes -- lack a \begin{document} command. At
least, that's what happens when I export to .dvi and run pdflatex.

Hmm... I have mempatch.sty and memhfixc.sty. Dunno if they are important, I

It's not that complex, but you have to get used to lyx's layout language. A
first step, however, would be, if you could figure out which environments are
still unsupported and tell me (maybe with a hint to the corrsponding page in
the manual). The point is, I do not use memoir myself that much (I am quite
happy with KOMA), so I don't know the class very much.

start lyx from the console, run edit->reconfigure and send the output of the
console, please. It is especially important if there is a line like
+checking for document class memoir [memoir]... yes

Hmm... hard to tell without an example document.

Juergen,
Oh! I have those, too. But, they came from a memoir.zip file I had sitting
in my home directory. I don't have any memoir.sty that was created when I
ran 'latex ' on the .dtx and .ins files. My misunderstanding.

Later today I'll print out the memoir manual and read it.

Nope. Not there. The output log file is attached.

Yes. I was just venting my frustration at not being productive again
today. Herbert's helping, but I need to get all this running properly.

Rich,
OK, then LyX does not find the layout file. Are you shure you have put it in
the /layouts directory of your lyx user directory (normally ~/.lyx)? What
happens if you put it in the /layouts directory of the lyx installation tree
(/usr/local/share/lyx/layouts for instance)?
You can use the attached v0.002 which features some more memoir stuff.

Well, then you are in good hands (hope I got this idiom right).

Which is all right, because memoir is class (used with \documentclass in the begining of LaTeX file, extension .cls), not style package (used with \usepackage, extension .sty).

Juergen, Mea culpa! I moved it there, but my flying fingers gave it the wrong name. No wonder LyX couldn't see it. I renamed it, reconfigured and restarted. It's there now.
