Where did you put that file? It is not sufficient to just put it in the
same folder as the .lyx file, it needs to be in some latex path,
like /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/

You have to run `texhash` as root afterwards.

Also, did you put your .layout file to ~/.lyx/layouts/ and
reconfigured lyx afterwards?

I know, this doesn't exactly fit your error report, but sometimes lyx
shows really weird errors...

Re: Can't get my university thesis .cls class to work

[elaliberte]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that:

1) I put the uocthesis.cls file in usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
2) I ran 'texhash' from the command line
3) I put my uocthesis.layout file in usr/share/lyx/layouts
4) I reconfigured Lyx

The uocthesis class appears in LyX. The problem is converting to PDF.
Thanks for your help!

 Hi,
 
 My University provides the

 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/uwthesis/

 I've followed the instructions on this 
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts page  and created the
 following layout file:
 
 
 #  \DeclareLaTeXClass{uocthesis}
 Input stdclass.inc
 
 
 I then imported the example file given by our university (
 http://n2.nabble.com/file/n2955951/example-thesis.tex example-thesis.tex
 ), and selected the new uocthesis document class.
 
 However, I can't get it to work. When I try to export to PDF I get the
 following error:
 
  \titlepage

 The control sequence at the end of the top line
 of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
 misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
 spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
 and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
 
 
 Any help would be much appreciated.

Since your class is based upon book, you'd be better off copying the 
book.layout file over to uocthesis.layout, and then changing the first 
line to what you have here.


How do I know it's based on book? Because this line:
\LoadClass{book}
is in the cls file.

I can't seem to compile it even directly. I.e., by running latex

something wrong in the definition of the \titlepage macro. Anyway, if 
you add this line:
