In Debian, and I assume in Kubuntu. Memoir is part of the package
texlive-latex-recommended

Is it installed ?

Thanks, Paul.  I found that out yesterday, and under 
document->settings->Document class->drop down list there it was!  Appreciate 
the help from everyone on the list.  The reason why I love LyX is not just 
the typesetting beauty of it, but mostly the screen.  It is easy on old eyes!

Thanks!



Just to be clear, are you talking about Memoir *class* or Memoir 
*template*.  The "yes" in the config dialog means that (a) LyX knows it 
has a Memoir layout and (b) it found the Memoir class file, so you 
should have "book (Memoir)" in the Document -> Settings... -> Document 
Class -> Document class drop-down list.  AFAIK, though, there is no 
Memoir template (at least I don't have one installed), so if you're 
looking for it via File -> New from template you're destined to be 
disappointed.

  "Reconfigure" is internal to LyX. You also need to let LaTeX/TeX know that
you've added styles. Run /usr/share/texmf/bin/texhash (or wherever Ubuntu
puts texhash) as root, then reconfigure LyX. You should see Memoir after
this.

I'm new to LyX

[Elswood]

And have tried to install the "memoir" template.  On the configuration screen 
it says "yes" for it being but is nowhere to be found in my Templates folder 
nor can I find it anywhere else.  I have re-configured after every download 
and I have downloaded hundreds of megabytes of stuff relating the LaTex and 
LyX, but all I want is memoir with the ms option.  Can someone help a newbie 
using Kubuntu 7.10 (64 bit)?
Thanks!
