Lux not finding LaTeX classes, etc on OS X 10.10 beta

[Kevin Horton]

Lyx was working fine for me with OS X 10.8 (I don't think I tried it with OS X 
10.9), but I have major problems since installing OS X 10.10 beta on my 
seconadary computer.  The problems are identical with Lyx 2.0.7.1 and Lyx 2.1.1.

When opening Lyx documents, I get messages like:

The selected document class Article (Standard Class) requires external files 
that are not available. The document class can still be used, but the document 
cannot be compiled until the following prerequisites are installed: article.cls
See section 3.1.2.2 (Class Availability) of the User's Guide for more 
information.

If I select Tools-TeX Information, no classes are shown.  Help- LaTeX 
Configuration finds no fonts, classes, paper layout packages, etc.  

I have a working LaTeX, with the various classes, etc installed at 
/sw/share/texmf-dist.  LaTeX itself is found at /sw/bin/latex.  /sw/bin is in 
the PATH prefix listed in the Lyx preferences.

I've run texhash, and Tools-Reconfigure, and then restarted Lyx, but that 
makes no difference.

How can I help Lyx find the bits of my LaTeX installation?

How to insert footnote in bibliography

[William Seager]

This is an obvious question but I can't seem to find the
answer.

I am using bibtex to organize my references. For one
entry in the list of references I want to add a footnote
(which should appear at bottom of page where the
reference appears).

I mean, the reference should look something like this:

Author (1999). blah, blah [footnote number here]

Is this possible?

As the reference section is created in LaTeX and not in LyX, I ASSUME
that you have to use LaTeX directly in the reference - have you tried to
enter the footnote directly in the reference, i.e. \footnote{An example
footnote.} ?

1. How are you generating the PDFs (pdflatex, dvipdfm, ...)?

Re: How to insert footnote in bibliography

[Benedict Holland]

Yea, I was just going to say to do this. I have a quick word of warning
though. I think that biblatex and bibtex will take whatever .bib file you
have as valid latex code. I just remembered it because I personally think
this is a completely ridiculous thing to do but suffice to say, I know that
biblatex will treat your text as latex in your references. I am unsure
about bibtex but if you can use a reference manager to get a
\footnote{blah} printing from a reference, I suppose that it has a use
case. Fantastic solution though.
