It would seem so. If yes, then you have to have that class installed in your LaTeX distro, and the message from LyX suggests that you don't. LyX flags layouts as unusable if the corresponding LaTeX class is not installed. Run 'kpsewhich scrartcl.cls' in a command shell to see if you've got it. If not, install it, update your LaTeX file name database, then reconfigure and restart LyX. /Paul

You want to write an accounting software, which programatically creates (or modifies) tex-files which then are typeset into PDF (or whatever) using latex/pdflatex? Then how does LyX fit in there? Of course you could also create LyX files programatically, but that only adds an extra layer (with IMHO little benefit). LyX is not a latex editor, it is a document processor (for writing), which happens to use latex-machinery for creating output. Or I got you completely wrong ... /Konrad
