adding new tex classes
I recently tried to add a new tex class (beamer). I unpacked the files into appropriate subdirectories in my local tex tree (/usr/local/share/texmf), ran texhash, opened lyx and ran reconfigure. When I opened lyx again, beamer does not appear in the Doc class choices although it does appear in the Tex configuration. When I open a lyx template associated with beamer, I get an error that the beamer class does not exist. Running Mandrake 10 with lyx 1.3.3 any thoughts? bill
Re: adding new tex classes
When I opened lyx again, beamer does not appear in the Doc class choices although it does appear in the Tex configuration. You need to have a LyX .layout file corresponding to the class you're installing.. the .layout file needs to go in your .lyx/layouts/ folder. Luckily enough, the beamer class author does provide the LyX .layout file along with the tarball.. check in the lyx (or maybe LyX, can't remember) folder.. put that in the folder mentioned above and you should see it in the dropdown menu (I don't think you need to run LyX's reconfigure for this but if it doesn't appear, then do try running reconfigure)... nirmal
Re: adding new tex classes
Thanks Nirmal, just for the record, one does need to run reconfigure in Lyx to make it appear in the Doc class list. By the way, beamer class is impressive piece of work. bill When I opened lyx again, beamer does not appear in the Doc class choices although it does appear in the Tex configuration.
