Why after looking? They weren't included in LyX for you? If not, this might explain the layout error you have below. > agu_article.lyx opens fine in LyX and uses the AGU article (SGML) document > class.

Do you get a warning when opening that template? I am on Ubuntu 13.04 and had to install docbook and sgmltools-lite. After that, LyX tries to make a PDF for me. However, I don't think AGU requires docbook. Does it? If not, it probably shouldn't be in the template. You should probably forget about this one. I think the next one is the one you want. > agutex.lyx gives an error when trying to open it that there is not an > appropriate layout file for the AGUTeX class.

This layout file should be included by LyX. Your answers above to which LyX version you are using could lead to clues. Before you try anything can you go to Tools > Reconfigure ? Does that complete successfully? Attached is the layout file for agutex, but this should be included with LyX. If you still get the layout error, you can copy it to your user layout directory and then run Tools > Reconfigure. Restart and see if you still get the error. agutex.lyx compiles to PDF fine for me.
