Re: configuring class files
my layout file with class is not detected. In the website for installing layouts he has given that i have to go to ./lyx and type configure. But there is no file configure there. Instead I went to /usr/share/lyx and found configure there. Now the layout file is in these folders ./lyx/layout and /usr/share/lyx/layout and my class file is in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/ What do i have to do to get this class file installed. Also i have a bibtex file which i have inserted into this lyx file but when i go to insert citations there are no keys corresponding to this file present. Is this also a problem with the class and layout file. Please help soon and thanks for the help given till now. is there any problem in lyxfix1.1.6fix.rpm. That is the version i have installed.

Re: configuring class files
The error I get while trying to open the file is the document uses an unknown text class. could someone run me through the steps again which i have to do so that i havent missed on anything. Also do i need any .sty file for this. I have three files in all puthesis.cls,puthesis.layout,puthesis.lyx. how do i know whether the class file is installed or not. karthik Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy Music, Video, CD-ROM, Audio-Books and Music Accessories from http://www.planetm.co.in
