Thanks. I changed the layout file as you suggested: #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # #\DeclareLaTeXClass{authesis} # Read the definitions from report.layout Input report.layout
and here is the output from terminal. It looks like it worked (?). I open LyX and my class is not available, and if I configure I still get the error. Can you help again?, thanks. here is the terminal output: dhcp-226-212:~ mikemartell$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ dhcp-226-212:LyX-1.5 mikemartell$ python
