I followed your directions. you said (thanks for being so explicit ): That is, in Terminal, type:
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ to get to the user directory. Then type: python /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py to reconfigure. (Note that in this line there is no "/ui" before "configure".) I still did not have luck. Is this perhaps because i have placed my files in the wrong spot? Should the authesis.layout file i made be with all the other layout files? in Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ instead of in username/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts ? And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo, auecon.clo) should not be in this location: users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ Once again, thank you very much.
