Layout and Class Files on Windows Distribution
I have need for the LNCS layout, and am having trouble using this with LyX. You will perhaps like to know that my prior experience with any TeX is zero. In the past, I have used WYSIWYG systems (Ventura Publisher is my first choice, though I am also passingly familiar with Quark XPress and Aldus PageMaker). Further, while I do have some experience with UNIX administrative activities, the details for use of LyX are not clear, to me. I obtained the LaTeX 2E distribution from the Springer-Verlag website, and have attempted to determine the proper location to which the various components of the download should be directed. That is, shall the .sty and .cls files be placed in the ./resources/tex directory What is less clear is the use of texhash, as it is not part of the LyX distribution. So, how do I install and make available to me the LNCS files, and how do I use them to prepare, or work with, a .layout file? Also, I have noted that when I tried to load a .dem file (the LNCS demo file), that LyX did properly complain of the file type (opening a dialog box to announce the problem) but, it kept the icon for the mouse pointer as an hourglass, instead of converting it to an arrow. Yes, I understand that LyX wants to load .lyx files. wrb

Installing a MiKTex Document Class in LyX 1.5 for Windows
Hello, for a week I am using LyX 1.5 für Windows and I read the manuals. I want to use LyX to write a Hausarbeit in german law. Therefore I downloaded in MiKTex Package Manager the document class jura (A document class for German legal texts). Now I want to use this class in LyX. I read Customization.lyx, where I found the instructions (5.1) but they dont work here. I dont have the file texmf.cnf, the folder web2c and so on. I googled and searched the lyx-wiki but I found nothing useful. I am completely stuck here. How do I install a MiKTex document class in LyX for Windows? Thank you very much! Bastian Boddenberg

Installing the spconf.sty depends on your operating system and tex
installation. What are you using?
After it's installed and recognized by tex then you should only have
to insert \usepackage{spconf} in your LyX preamble. In some cases
you'll need to reconfigure LyX.

So, how do I install and make available to me the LNCS files, and how do I use

This one I can say a bit about. It's likely that the LNCS class file is
based upon some other LaTeX class, e.g., article. You can find this out
by looking at the .cls file. It may say early in a comment (comments
begin with %). You can also look for a \LoadClass{...} line. The
loaded class is the base class. So let's say it's article. Then you can
try just copying the article.layout file to lncs.layout (say) and
changing the first real line, which reads:
# \DeclareLaTeXClas{article}
to:
# \DeclareLaTeXClas{lncs}
I'm assuming here that the class file is: lncs.cls. If not, then replace
lncs everywhere by whatever it is.
This may just work. If not, you'll need to start modifying the layout
file, especially if lncs provides extra styles that aren't in the
standard article (book, whatever) class.
There's more detail about this in the Customization manual. Feel free to
ask here. Lots of us have been through this.
Also, I have noted that when I tried to load a .dem file (the LNCS demo file),

The spconf.sty file is the package. Now, to install it all you have to do is
place it a under a latex folder that is recognized by MiKTeX.
I think the best way to do this is to create your own folder hierarchy so
that when/if MiKTeX is removed or updated you don't lose your custom
packages or bib styles.
I've created folders under:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\texmf\tex\latex
C:\Documents and Settings\username\texmf\tex\bibtex\bib
C:\Documents and Settings\username\texmf\tex\bibtex\bst
Then in the MiKTeX settings I added a Root path to C:\Documents and
Settings\username\texmf and then I would put your spconf.sty under the latex
folder that you just created.
After this is done you will need to refresh the database. Which is done
under MiKTeX settings 'Refresh FNDB' or by entering 'texhash' in a command
prompt.
You may or may not have to reconfigure LyX after all of this, but once it's
working you can put \usepackage{spconf} in the preamble and all will be
right with the world.
You can also check to see if LyX has found your spconf.sty by looking under
Tools-TeX Information and selecting LaTeX styles and looking for it. If
it's there you're good to go, if it's not then you can 'Rescan' and see if
it pops up, if not then reconfigure LyX.

In order to use the jura.cls document class, LyX will need a layout file for it, and as far as I know that layout file does not ship with LyX (and may not exist). Unless someone already has a layout and is willing to share it, you will need to write your own, per section 5.2. Once you have a layout file (named jura.layout and stored in your local layouts directory -- click Help - About LyX and check the user directory entry, then drill down from there to find the layouts folder), you need to reconfigure (Tools - Reconfigure) and restart LyX. /Paul

Do you mean that you obtained a full LaTeX distribution from S-V, or
just that you obtained the zip files containing the LCNS style etc.? In
the context of LaTeX, distribution usually means the full-blown LaTeX
package (TeXLive, MiKTeX, teTeX, ...). If that's what you mean, *and*
if you're on Windows, I agree with Abdel that you're better off
installing MiKTeX.
I'm going to assume that you meant that you downloaded just the LCNS
files from S-V. Also, you did not specify your OS any place that I can
see. I suspect that Richard and Abdel are assuming from your mention of
those page design programs that you're on Windows, but I'll try to be
agnostic about that.
and have
attempted to determine the proper location to which the various components of

placed in the ./resources/tex directory
Your LaTeX distribution will have a localtexmf directory tree where you
typically want to unpack downloaded styles and such. On *nix systems,
the path to it is often exported as an environment variable named
LOCALTEXMF. Using MiKTeX (Windows), you can use the MiKTeX settings
application and look under Roots. All else failing, you can try
running 'kpsewhich -show-path=.bst' in a command shell/terminal and see
what it spits up. Some (most?) of the directories it lists will be part
of the base installation, but somewhere on that list should be the
bibtex folder under your localtexmf tree.
Once you've found localtexmf, drill down to something like
.../tex/latex/lncs, creating directories as needed, and unpack your
download there.
What is less clear is the use of texhash, as it is not part of the LyX
distribution.
No, this is part of LaTeX. Again, if you're using MiKTeX, you don't need
to access this directly; use the MiKTeX settings application and click
the 'Refresh FNDB' button. On *nix systems, you'll probably need to run
this in a terminal. You don't need any arguments; just run 'texhash'.
So, how do I install and make available to me the LNCS files, and how do I use
them to prepare, or work with, a .layout file?
I don't use LNCS myself, but since it ships as a style file rather than
a class file, I think you should be able to start a new document in the
default article class in LyX and then add '\usepackage{lncs}' to the
preamble (Document - Settings... - LaTeX Preamble). If there are any

Your LaTeX distribution will have a localtexmf directory tree where you
typically want to unpack downloaded styles and such. On *nix systems,
the path to it is often exported as an environment variable named
LOCALTEXMF. Using MiKTeX (Windows), you can use the MiKTeX settings
application and look under Roots. All else failing, you can try
running 'kpsewhich -show-path=.bst' in a command shell/terminal and see
what it spits up. Some (most?) of the directories it lists will be part
of the base installation, but somewhere on that list should be the
bibtex folder under your localtexmf tree.
Once you've found localtexmf, drill down to something like
.../tex/latex/lncs, creating directories as needed, and unpack your
download there.
What is less clear is the use of texhash, as it is not part of the LyX
distribution.
No, this is part of LaTeX. Again, if you're using MiKTeX, you don't need
to access this directly; use the MiKTeX settings application and click
the 'Refresh FNDB' button. On *nix systems, you'll probably need to run
this in a terminal. You don't need any arguments; just run 'texhash'.
So, how do I install and make available to me the LNCS files, and how do I use
them to prepare, or work with, a .layout file?
I don't use LNCS myself, but since it ships as a style file rather than

default article class in LyX and then add '\usepackage{lncs}' to the

It has now boiled down to a layout file. At this point in time there is a

I have the orginal spconf.sty, and the layout file which is a derivative of
the article class.
What I needs is the spconf package, where can I get it?

Installing the spconf.sty depends on your operating system and tex
installation. What are you using?
After it's installed and recognized by tex then you should only have
to insert \usepackage{spconf} in your LyX preamble. In some cases
you'll need to reconfigure LyX.

Someone on Windows will be able to answer this sort of question.
So, how do I install and make available to me the LNCS files, and how do I use
them to prepare, or work with, a .layout file?
This one I can say a bit about. It's likely that the LNCS class file is
based upon some other LaTeX class, e.g., article. You can find this out
by looking at the .cls file. It may say early in a comment (comments
begin with "%"). You can also look for a \LoadClass{...} line. The
loaded class is the base class. So let's say it's article. Then you can
try just copying the article.layout file to lncs.layout (say) and
changing the first real line, which reads:
# \DeclareLaTeXClas{article}
to:
# \DeclareLaTeXClas{lncs}
I'm assuming here that the class file is: lncs.cls. If not, then replace
"lncs" everywhere by whatever it is.
This may "just work". If not, you'll need to start modifying the layout
file, especially if lncs provides extra styles that aren't in the
standard article (book, whatever) class.
There's more detail about this in the Customization manual. Feel free to
ask here. Lots of us have been through this.
Also, I have noted that when I tried to load a .dem file (the LNCS demo file),
that LyX did properly complain of the file type (opening a dialog box to
announce the problem) but, it kept the icon for the mouse pointer as an
hourglass, instead of converting it to an arrow. Yes, I understand that LyX
wants to load .lyx files.
What is a .dem file? Is it really a .tex file?

The spconf.sty file is the package. Now, to install it all you have to do is
place it a under a latex folder that is recognized by MiKTeX.
I think the best way to do this is to create your own folder hierarchy so
that when/if MiKTeX is removed or updated you don't lose your custom
packages or bib styles.
I've created folders under:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\texmf\tex\latex
C:\Documents and Settings\username\texmf\tex\bibtex\bib
C:\Documents and Settings\username\texmf\tex\bibtex\bst
Then in the MiKTeX settings I added a Root path to C:\Documents and
