I'm trying to create a .layout file for a .cls file I've been given. I've tried following the Customization tutorial but I am having no luck after two frustrating days. So I tried to back up and make the most basic layout file I could.
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{hellobook} Input stdclass.inc I save the file as hellobook.layout in my C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 1.6.3\Resources\layouts directory. I then do a Tools>Reconfigure and a restart of LyX. When I restart I start a new file then go to Documents>Settings>Document Class. Hellobook is in my drop down list but when I select it I get the following error "LyX: Could not load class. The document class hellobook could not be loaded" When I click ok I get another error "LyX: Error. Unable to set document class" This is the same error I get no matter what .layout I create. I know there is something simple I'm missing but after searching for two days I at my wits end. If anyone could give me some pointers it would be much appreciated. Danny
