Latex Class Trouble
Here is my problem, and any and all help is appreciated.
I am trying to use a thesis class from latex in lyx. I have read the
customization file and also many of the emails to this archive and I must
admit I am still stumped.
What is happening: I can get the lyx document menu to show my class
(ucdthesis), but it tells me
"unable to use document class. Reverting to original class"
What I have Done: I created a ucdthesis.layout file in ~/.lyx/layouts
which is as follows
#% our love is a many splendored thing or something
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[ucdthesis]{ucdthesis}
then because I read it on one of these posts, i ran texhash (which
apparently is just a pointer to mktexlsr). I have stored in many
directories my file ucdthesis.cls. I have stored it in
~/.lyx/tex,~/.lyx/layouts,~texmf, and /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc.
If it is supposed to transfrom the ucdthesis.cls file into something, i
have not seen it. Oh, and of course I ran reconfigure in lyx and
restarted it. I am a broken man and in need of help, what have I
missed(not knowing a bit of latex)?
Did I:
1)not put the .cls file in the correct place?
2)incorrectly ran mktexlsr?
3)have a foul .cls file?
4)have trouble reading documention or more likely,
5)anger the gods

ps. I like lyx and the people in my lab are becoming excited about its
power. If you can help me surmount this problem you will have gained at
least 10 people more to the cause. viva lyx!

How did you write your own class, not knowing a bit of latex? You must be a wizard!;-) Did I: 1)not put the .cls file in the correct place? Did you put it somewhere in the path texmf/tex/latex? I have a special directory for my styles there. Can you run latex from a shell on that file sucessfully? Export your lyx-file as latex and try. latex path/to/your/latex-file.tex 2)incorrectly ran mktexlsr? Mhh. I am using texconfig, where there is a command rehash (rebuild ls-R database) I think it ran mktexlsr. You must be root to do that! 3)have a foul .cls file? Then you will have many error-massages using latex path/to/your/latex-file.tex 4)have trouble reading documention or more likely, 5)anger the gods Never try violence or prayers.
