Just go to bugzilla.lyx.org. You'll need to establish an account---this is trivial---and then you can log in and file the bug. If you want to call it an "enhancement", you'll have that option. rh Steve Litt wrote: > On Monday 23 April 2007 14:21, José Matos wrote: > >> On Sunday 22 April

Beamer

Hi, I'm new at this and I would like to be able to use beamer with lyx. I have an Intel based Mac. What should I do to install it and get it running? Thanks a lot, Paulina

You have LyX installed? If not, see here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac. If so, or after you do get it installed, the question is just whether you already have the beamer class installed. If so, LyX will (or should!) notice it on configure, and it'll be there ready for you to use: File>New, then

Hi, thanks for your response. I do have lyx, but beamer is not a class. I already downloaded beamer but I don't know where I need to put it and how to install it so that it works with lyx. Does anyone know? PR On Apr 23, 2007, at 2:19 PM, Richard Heck wrote: Oh, yes: And if you do

Do you see the Beamer class at all? If it's not there at all, even in the "unavailable" list, then you're missing the beamer.layout file. What version of LyX are you running? If 1.4.4, then the attached should work. Just put it in your local LyX layout directory, probably
