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? Regards, Walter

Double check your PATH settings in LyX > Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix to make sure it's correct. It should include /usr/local/teTeX/ bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current given what you've got above. (It should also include paths to other standard locations for binaries, including /sw/bin for fink installations of teTeX and /opt/local/ teTeX/bin for darwinports installations.) The default PATH Prefix setting on Mac is: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin- current:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin If your TeX installation is working fine, and your PATH prefix is properly set up, it should work. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. Try running Edit > Reconfigure again (quitting LyX and relaunching) ... and try it twice to see if that makes a difference. If not, try running the configure command manually: from a Terminal session, cd into LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx. Once there, type "./ configure" (without quotes) to run it. What is the output?

Finally, I introduced the PATH prefix, reconfigured and restart and still the same problem: doesn't recognize the TeX installation. I did it again, and nothing. Do you know if there is any file I should delete in order to reconfigure this properly? Try the following: 1. Quit LyX if it's running. 2. Move ~/Library/Application Support/LyX somewhere else (but keep it). (This is the LyX User's directory.) 3. Make sure you've got the latest version of LyX/Mac (LyX-1.3.6-2Mac.dmg), and install it -- dragging LyX.app to your hard drive, and running the installer script. 4. Run LyX. Does that work? If so, I suspect your preferences file is corrupted somehow. Quit LyX and move any files from your saved LyX User's directory that you want to keep into the new LyX User's directory at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX -- but don't move the preferences file there. If it doesn't work, I'm not sure what to say. (Can you use LaTeX from TeXShop, say?) Bennett

lyx 1.3.6 on mac os tiger
Hi, I'm running OSX Tiger and just upgraded Lyx to 1.3.6. Unfortunately, I'm unable to view,print, or export anything as Lyx cannot find any class files. Weird thing is that they are there, like: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/article.cls Anyone know how to fix this? -Rob ps. It used to work.
