this kind of warning will confuse some users and that those same users

Silent updates of software that is not maintained/released by the LyX

Same here. Massive violation of user trust. Just put up a Piwik install

Besides, you'll be in violation of EU legislation.

The name is Walter. Anyway, as a user this is the error that gets
presented to you. If that is not specific enough, it might be worthwhile
to have more specific error message.

Either way, it was a PEBCAK, I had been using the Adress field twice and
omitted to use "end of letter" (which I do not remember being part of
KOMA-Script Letter v2 earlier).

Koma-script letter error

[Walter van Holst]

Hi all,

When trying to use the Koma-script Letter template I get this error:\

! LaTeX Error: \begin{letter} on input line 27 ended by \end{document}.

 \end{document}

Your command was ignored.
Type  Ito replace it with another command,
orto continue without it.

Suggestions on how to deal with this would be most welcome.

 Walter

This was a bug in the 1st version of the installer file. The fix for

Now try reconfiguring LyX; restart; reconfigure LyX; restart again. 
That should fix it. (I'm not sure why 2 reconfigures and restarts are

This did the trick for me, are there any plans to fix this in the

What I stil don't get is that several document classes that used to work

The installer has been fixed; the trouble is that those who used the  
1st version of the installer have to implement the fix manually.  (Sorry.)


Well, it works now, so never mind. Putting a message on the Wiki 
regarding this particular issue might be helpful though.


What I stil don't get is that several document classes that used to  
work in 1.3.4 are now gone, such as curriculum vitae and several  
article document klasses (Kluwer, Elsevier, Springer).



Support for these classes should be there. Look in LyX.app/Contents/ 
Resources/lyx/layouts for the .layout files LyX uses. You'll need to  
be sure your TeX installation includes the relevant .cls files, though.


The .layout files are there and I am using the TeX i-packages, how do I 
check whether those .cls files are included or not?

This was a bug in the 1st version of the installer file. The fix for 
those who have already run the installer is:


In Preferences  Paths  PATH Prefix, enter 
/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin- 
current:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin (without the 
quotes).


Now try reconfiguring LyX; restart; reconfigure LyX; restart again. 
That should fix it. (I'm not sure why 2 reconfigures and restarts are 
needed, but I don't have 10.4 to experiment on.)


This did the trick for me, are there any plans to fix this in the 
installer? Or at least to mention it on the Wiki?
