Hi,
I have installed Lyx 1.6 on both WinXP and Ubuntu 8.10.
But when I "new from template...", I select one of template but it alert
that "The layout file requested by this document, hollywood.layout, is not
usable. This is probably because a Latex class or style file required by is
not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. Lyx
will not be able to produce output."
Then I "Tools->Reconfigure", it also complains "Lyx: System reconfiguration
failed. Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly.
Please reconfigure again if needed"
Could anybody help me on this problem? thanks in advance!
Does reconfiguration fail on both XP and Ubuntu, or just one of them?
The most common cause of reconfiguration failure is a problem with your
LaTeX installation (which by default is TeXLive on Ubuntu, and probably
is MiKTeX on XP). As a quick check, open a command shell in each system
and run 'latex --version' and 'kpsewhich article.cls'. The former
should report a version for the LaTeX command and the latter should
report the location of the article LaTeX class. If they fail, either
you don't have a working LaTeX installation or the LaTeX program files
are not on your system's default command path.
