Yet More Comment on Lyx Windows Install: the textclasses not found problem

2007-01-30 Thread kenneth_l_brand
I  fought the no textclasses found problem all weekend and just now got it 
fixed.

I used the MS windows wiki-wiki installation (several times) and always got the 
same  textclasses error.
However, I finally got lyx to work !!


My problem was that I had two other versions of Latex  on my system (PCtex and 
Texlive)
So I removed these from my path environment variable, plus I removed some 
environment variables that were related to these two programs.  

By now I had the detritus of several failed installations on my system.
I searched for all copies of textclass.lst on my system, deleted them all, and 
reran configure.py

Now Lyx runs.  

I hopes this helps someone...
