Can not load document class
Yesterday I made a new layout, called it poembook.layout and put it in .lyx/layouts in my home directory. It worked splendidly. I had finally solved my layout problems. Today when I fired up the computer and loaded the lyx document, I get 'The document class poembook can not be loaded.' It seems it can't find the layout file any more. But it's still where I left it yesterday,a s far as I can see. What can I have done wrong? I'm using lyx 1.6.4 on ubuntu 9.04 Richard

I'm using lyx 1.6.4 on ubuntu 9.04 Richard In order to load a layout file, LyX not only has to see the .layout file, it has to believe that any LaTeX classes/styles used by it are available. I've no idea what happened, but (a) make sure that the class file (poembook.cls?) and any .sty files mentioned in the .layout file are available (kpsewhich poembook.cls in a terminal, ditto for anything else used) and (b) try reconfiguring/restarting LyX just to be safe. (Desperation shot from half-court:) You weren't by any chance working with admin privileges (sudo) yesterday but not today? If so, check that all the bits and pieces are at least readable by your account. /Paul
