LyX - LaTeX2e
I got lyx ver 1.0.0, and installed the latest teTeX distribution, that gives on the command line latex: This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1) ** Starting LyX's configure, I obtain (snipped out the "yes" answers): checking for a LaTeX2e program... +checking for "latex"... not useable +checking for "latex2e"... not useable ... checking for ChkTeX... +checking for "chktex"... no ... What? NOT USEABLE? My teTeX directory contains - among the others - two dirs, named "latex" and "latex209". I suppose the first one is LaTeX2e (but I don't know how to check). What's wrong? If the latest teTeX distribution doesn't give you LATEX2e, where to get it? How to make LyX see that I really got latex?? Thanks for any help P.S. Could you please reply to me even, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ??? Thanks!
