Okay...

What the warning means is that you should not be running latex from
within the directory containing ``article.cls''.

Running ``latex ltxcheck'' in your home directory, or /tmp, or
wherever else you choose (other than $TEXMF/tex/latex/base/) is
fine. The purpose of ltxcheck is to check your LaTeX installation and
make sure everything is accessible without any extraordinary measures.

If you have Redhat 6.0, you should just go and do the tetex upgrade
*again* by hand, using:

rpm --force -Uvh tetex-*

This will re-install the tetex package and it will actually work this

LyX: Unknown textclass `article'

1999-06-09 Thread Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan

This is a known problem with RPM upgardes of tetex.

Just go back and do:

 rpm --force -Uvh tetex-*

Then do:

 rpm -V `rpm -qa | grep tetex`

This should not show any missing files, and only the TeX ls-R file
should be different.

Once you've done this, you should have a working TeX that sucks at
hyphenation.

If you want to get the tetex-1.0 release (which is the latest and
fixes this hyphenation bug, among others) then go to my ftp site:

  ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/tetex

Enjoy!

Great!

What this means is that, a RedHat 5.2 and RPM 2.5 user can take the
lyx-1.0.3-3.src.rpm and do ``rpm --rebuild'' and generate his own RPM
(tailored to his machine) to install.

Even though the RPM on my site was generated using RedHat 6.0 and RPM
3.0.1, the src.rpm format (and the spec file) is compatible enough for
this to work.

Cool!

I have Redhat 6.0 RPM's of lyx-1.03 (and lyx-1.04pre1) on my ftp

If you have earlier Redhat releases installed, you can just get the

and that should build an RPM linked against your system's libraries.

These RPMs also install all the included LaTeX files in a place that

In general the upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0 was the smoothest I've experienced since
I started with RedHat 3.0.3 (Picasso). However, the TeX upgrade sucks. First,
none of the files got installed, and I had to do rpm -Uhv --force for most of
the tetex packages. And now it seems that hyphenation is totally screwed. I'm
getting words being hyphenated like this: W-hole, so-cial, C-PS. I need to go
into production very soon to produce 460 LaTeX documents but if the hyphenation
is going to behave so aberrantly I'm going to have to go back to 5.2. Is there
a way around this problem?

They're not actually broken (I run with them just fine).

The problem is with the installation of them. For some reason, you
have to hand-install the tetex packages after the installation tries
to auto-install them for you.

Do:

   rpm -Uvh --force tetex-*

Followed by the following (to make sure that the tetex packages are
actually installed and complete). If any are not, force-install them
again by hand and ``rpm -V'' to verify.

   rpm -V `rpm -qa | grep tetex`

This should fix the problem. After this, don't forget to edit the
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps for the local paper type.

Try setting your TEXINPUTS to point to the directory where the

LyX and LaTeX should then be able to use those additional style files.

You might want to set your TEXINPUTS to something like this:

The "//" tells the suite of TeX and dvips programs to search all

It shouldn't be. Did you quit and restart lyx.

Putting the line "\use_tempdir false" in your ~/.lyx/lyxrc should make
lyx stop using temp directories (putting all intermediate files where

I'm running LyX on a Redhat 5.2 system with tetex-0.9-6, and I don't

Do you have both tetex-0.9-6 and tetex-latex-0.9-6 installed? You need
both.

I have the following TeX related packages installed: 

tetex-xdvi-0.9-6 tetex-xtexsh-0.3.3-8 tetex-dvilj-0.9-6
tetex-afm-0.9-6 tetex-dvips-0.9-6 tetex-0.9-6 tetex-latex-0.9-6

One other thing: I'm not running with Mate's RPM. My RPM, based on one
I found in contrib.redhat.com a while back, puts LyX in /usr/share/lyx
(instead of /usr/local/share/lyx). Could that be your problem?

You should try running the LyX configure script with ``sh -xv'' to see
what it's looking for and where it is looking for it.

I include my spec file (which you'll need to modify, it's set up for
1.0.3pre1 right now) for you to try.

I don't see that problem here either. I'm running Linux 2.0.36 (Redhat
5.2).

Could you try running ``lyx -dbg'' and seeing if that gives a clue?

Hmmm... The update glitch does not happen for me (running 1.0.3pre1).

I can try with 1.0.2 later today.

Try running ``lyx -dbg'' with a bit pattern number.

The bits are:

INFO   = (1),// 1
INIT   = (1 << 1),   // 2
KEY= (1 << 2),   // 4
TOOLBAR= (1 << 3),   // 8
LEX_PARSER = (1 << 4),   // 16
LYXRC  = (1 << 5),   // 32
KBMAP  = (1 << 6),   // 64
LATEX  = (1 << 7),   // 128
MATHED = (1 << 8),   // 256
FONT   = (1 << 9),   // 512
TCLASS = (1 << 10),  // 1024
LYXVC  = (1 << 11),  // 2048
ROFF   = (1 << 12),  // 4096
    LYXSERVER  = (1 << 13),  // 8192

Executing ``lyx -dbg 65535'' is probably too much.

I'm running tetex-0.9-6 on Redhat 5.2 and I don't see the problem you
describe. In fact, I even took the latest CVS snapshot and the
lyx.spec file and generated a quick lyx-1.0.2pre4-1 RPM and installed
that and was not able to reproduce the problem.

It might be your TeX. Have you tried running the Options->Reconfigure
to see if that fixes anything?

You might also try looking at ``Help->LaTeX Configuration'' to see if
it reveals anything strange.
