Hi
Sorry for the long post.
I tried this method. Thanks to Paul, Rob, Uwe, Milos, and the group( for
the prompt personal and list postings.
I can reconfigure without problems but following this there are still couple
of "bugs":
1. Trying to read Latex configuration from the menu or the file in the .../share/doc/
directory gives the message it is not a lyx file, the file is not created
i.e. it has 0 bytes.
2. All document styles work except article memoir and book memoir when lyx
chokes and exits with asking me to send a error report to microsoft!!
The end of this long post is the output of the configure command
Is this a bug or you guys can use the article[memoir] book[memoir] classes.
The layout files:(a) memoir-article & memoir-book.layout were obtained
from the lyx postings and were created by Bennett Helm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and (b)memoirjuergen.layout created by Messrs. Jürgen Spitzmüller and Bennet
Helm and reside in ..documents and settings/../.lyx/layouts directory.
I looked at the layout files and they contain lines like:
Input memoir.inc
Input stdclass.inc
where do these files reside maybe latex cannot find them
Any help appreciated
regards
Vivek
