Getting RevTeX 4.1 layout to work
Dear All, I'm using LyX 1.6.7 on Mac OS X 10.6.4. I've installed the revtex4-1.layout file in /Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/layouts I use the 2009 Tex Live distribution of MacTeX and it is up-to-date. When I check in texmf-dist/tex/latex/revtex, revtex4-1.cls is present. I've run sudo texhash several times and have reconfigured LyX several times. However, whenever I try to select "Article (REVTeX 4.1)" in Lyx, I get the following error: "The document class revtex4-1 could not be loaded." I'm at a lost as to why it is not loading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a logical and very plausible explanation of the problem you have encounter. I have put the layout file available for download from http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~jrioux/resources/lyx/ Could you please try to download this file? This should avoid any copy-paste problems.

Thanks, Cheers, Julien Original Message Subject: Revtex4-1 for Lyx 1.6.x Date: Sat, 04 Jun 2011 10:40:36 +0200 From: Timothy Stoltzfus-Dueck Hi Julien, Thanks for putting together the revtex4-1 layout! I had trouble using the version you posted for Lyx 1.6.x, similar to that discussed in http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg84557.html It turns out that all it was was that my browser broke up the \DeclareLatexClass line, moving the \DeclareLatexClass command to the line following the # , which caused the LyX Reconfigure command to fail. Moving the # , \DeclareLatexClass..., and (REVTEX 4.1)} [3 separate lines as my browser gave it to me] to the same line resulted in a working LyX Reconfigure. Sorry to send this mail to you. I tried to reply to Eric Cavalcanti, who posted the question, but I can't get to a working reply screen. Your email address was the only one I found, so I thought you might be able to forward or post this in case Eric is still having trouble. Thanks again for your work on this. Tim Stoltzfus-Dueck

That worked! I feel somewhat embarassed for what the problem was though. :) Thank you Julien and Tim! I really appreciate it!

Dear all, I'm using lyx2.0 in mac and trying to install revtex4-1 use it for an article in APS. I put all the concerned files (class, style and layout) in concerned folders, did the sudo texhash in Terminal, and reconfigure in lyx. Everything seems to go ok without any problem. But as I go to the Lyx -> Documents-> setting, I do not find the "article (revtex4-1)". Can anybody help? Thanks. Prem

If you've downloaded the layout file from the wiki here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Revtex4-1 then the problem is that this is for LyX 2.0, not for LyX 1.6.x. I've added a note to that effect to the wiki. The error messages for this kind of thing will be more informative in 2.0. Richard

I apologise, I should have given more details of my system. I use MacOS 10.5.8, and recently installed texlive2010 through the mactex distribution (over an old texlive2007). I installed revtex4-1 following the instructions on the package's readme and apparently had no problems there. Cheers! Eric

To do this you would start lyx from a terminal, click the "Tools > reconfigure" menu, then investigate what you get in the terminal window. Also specify the debug flag "tclass" (see http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting#sLyX.Troubleshooting_11 ) when launching LyX to get further info. Otherwise I don't know what's the problem and can't help you. -- Julien

Perhaps I should clarify that the problem only occurs when I have the revtex4-1.layout file that I created from copying and pasting Julien's code into a text file in the layouts folder. Cheers, Eric

To do this you would start lyx from a terminal, click the "Tools > reconfigure" menu, then investigate what you get in the terminal window. Also specify the debug flag "tclass" (see http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting#sLyX.Troubleshooting_11 ) when launching LyX to get further info.

Yes, I know. This issue is not to be expected when using the standard setup. But the impossibility to diagnose an error situation is a bug too. It's very hard to guess what's so special at your machine to make it fail. I added the revtex4-1.la
