First, I am trying to get started with LyX (vers. 1.6.4) on a Ubuntu
(vers. 9.10) platform. I am also very new with Ubuntu trying to migrate
from Windows.
Second, your work on this package is impressive. It downloaded and
installed very easily.
Third, I started by looking at some of your templates. Many of these
would not "compile" --- gave a rather long error message in a window
that was labeled
LyX: Document class not available
I did look at Customization documentation as suggested in the error
message in this window; however, I still could not understand how to fix
the problem. Unfortunately, the error message does not give any
information on what *.sty and/or *.cls files are missing. For example,
when I tried the template elsarticle.lyx this error message came up. I
then looked at this file in a text editor and saw
\textclass elsarticle
But, it is not clear how this is related to the problem.
I would like to use your very interesting LyX package; but, I need some
help on how to fix such problems. Note,
Library directory: /usr/share/lyx/
User directory: ~/.lyx
I would be glad to provide any additional information that you may need.
