which

latex returns:

/usr/texbin/latex

followed by a colon (:). (Of course, in my case, /usr/texbin is  
already

there, which is why it works for me.) Then LyX should work for you.

Please let us know what you have to add. I haven't used macports  
lately, so
I'm not sure where they currently put the latex executables, but we  
should

make sure that is a part of the default PATH prefix so that others don't
have this problem.

One final note: there's no reason to use macports to install LyX. They
actually tend to be behind the current LyX binaries we post on the LyX
website. All you need to do is download the binary, drag LyX.app

you want it, run the installer, and you're done.

It certainly looks as though you're missing it. (My guess is that if you
installed it via macports, it would be in /opt/local somewhere. It used to
be in /opt/local/teTeX/bin, but maybe with a switch to TeXlive, that's
changed to -- guessing here -- /opt/local/texlive/bin. If so, it looks as

Isn't there a way to add a PATH to the 'which latex' variable? I'm
pretty sure that Charlse has TeX through the macports TeXlive packages
because of this (that he posted):

$ sudo texhash
texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf-var/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
$

And this (now there is a macports texlive_full package if you have space):

$ port installed | grep texlive
 texlive_base @2007_1 (active)
 texlive_texmf-minimal @2007_0 (active)
$

And this (so I think the needed LaTeX packages are available):

/opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls

It just seems to me that TeXlive has changed their paths and that
hasn't affected the system properly (I'm a little oblivious to path
stuff :-}).

Does running 'latex' on a '.tex' file work in a shell? Even if it
doesn't I think TeX is installed and Charlse only needs to add

Strange. All I can say is you have the 'base' and the 'texmf-minimal'
texlive packages installed and this does not seem to be a complete TeX
distribution install.

We've been Cc:ing, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do they not have a recommendation
of what macport packages are necessary for a complete TeX installation
of texlive?

$ port info lyx | grep Dep
Library Dependencies: qt4-mac, texlive, ImageMagick, python25

I will forward a copy to macports' list.


Either consider installing 'texlive' and/or 'texlive_texmf-full' from
macports or whatever is recommended by the macport maintainers or
install MacTeX as Bennett suggested.

LyX does have a dependency on texlive, but it's a special sort of  
dependency. Port checks whether there is a TeX-provided binary in the  
PATH, and if there isn't, it installs texlive. This is to allow users  
to have a choice of TeX distributions (within the limitations of the  
current dependency engine).


Charlse, you only seem to have texlive_texmf-minimal and texlive_base  
installed, not texlive. Install the texlive port, using the +minimal  
variant if you don't want to download texlive_texmf-full.

I think I have it installed already:

$ port installed | grep texlive

And also is it possible to use MacTex instead? If so, then how do I

It certainly looks as though you're missing it. (My guess is that  
if you
installed it via macports, it would be in /opt/local somewhere. It  
used to

be in /opt/local/teTeX/bin, but maybe with a switch to TeXlive, that's
changed to -- guessing here -- /opt/local/texlive/bin. If so, it  
looks as

though macports failed to set up your paths properly.)

If you really don't have a TeX installation, I'd recommend getting  
MacTeX

from:

http://www.tug.org/mactex/

Isn't there a way to add a PATH to the 'which latex' variable? I'm
pretty sure that Charlse has TeX through the macports TeXlive packages
because of this (that he posted):

$ sudo texhash
texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/ls-R...
texhash: Updating /opt/local/share/texmf-var/ls-R...
texhash: Done.
$

And this (now there is a macports texlive_full package if you have  
space):


$ port installed | grep texlive
 texlive_base @2007_1 (active)
 texlive_texmf-minimal @2007_0 (active)
$

And this (so I think the needed LaTeX packages are available):

/opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls

It just seems to me that TeXlive has changed their paths and that
hasn't affected the system properly (I'm a little oblivious to path
stuff :-}).

Does running 'latex' on a '.tex' file work in a shell? Even if it
doesn't I think TeX is installed and Charlse only needs to add
/opt/local/share to his LyX paths and LyX will work even if straight
latex doesn't.

I just added /opt/local/share to the Path and now it reads reads:
/usr/texbin:/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/ 
local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/

current:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/ 
local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/local/share


No luck

Which brings me back to my first question isn't there
a way to add /opt/local/share to the 'which latex' PATH?

I also added /opt/local/share to the systems path but still no chance.

$ cat .profile | grep share
export PATH=/opt/local/share:$PATH

no latex in /opt/local/share /Users/pm/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts /

LyX does have a dependency on texlive, but it's a special sort of  
dependency. Port checks whether there is a TeX-provided binary in the  
PATH, and if there isn't, it installs texlive. This is to allow users  
to have a choice of TeX distributions (within the limitations of the  
current dependency engine).


Charlse, you only seem to have texlive_texmf-minimal and texlive_base  
installed, not texlive. Install the texlive port, using the +minimal  
variant if you don't want to download texlive_texmf-full.

That's the problem then. You need to add the path to your paths :-}.

Yes. I'm not sure where macports puts its latex files, but you can  
find out

by going to Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) and typing:

which latex

$ which latex
no latex in ~/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts /usr/local/bin ~/Documents/ 
scripts/ /opt/local/bin /opt/local/sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /bin /

$ port info lyx

$

Am I missing latex? And if so, where do I get it from?

which should return the path to latex. That path (minus the "latex"  
part) is
what you need to add to the PATH prefix, as Bob indicated. So for me,  
"which

latex" returns:

/usr/texbin/latex

and so I add to the beginning of PATH prefix just the "/usr/texbin"  
part,
followed by a colon (":"). (Of course, in my case, "/usr/texbin" is  
already

there, which is why it works for me.) Then LyX should work for you.

Please let us know what you have to add. I haven't used macports  
lately, so
I'm not sure where they currently put the latex executables, but we  
should

make sure that is a part of the default PATH prefix so that others don't
have this problem.

One final note: there's no reason to use macports to install LyX. They
actually tend to be behind the current LyX binaries we post on the LyX
website. All you need to do is download the binary, drag LyX.app  
wherever

you want it, run the installer, and you're done.

It certainly looks as though you're missing it. (My guess is that  
if you installed it via macports, it would be in /opt/local  
somewhere. It used to be in /opt/local/teTeX/bin, but maybe with a  
switch to TeXlive, that's changed to -- guessing here -- /opt/local/ 
texlive/bin. If so, it looks as though macports failed to set up  
your paths properly.)


Sorry I haven't had time to reply earlier, folks. This is what I get:

LyX does have a dependency on texlive, but it's a "special" sort of  
dependency. Port checks whether there is a TeX-provided binary in the  
PATH, and if there isn't, it installs texlive. This is to allow users  
to have a choice of TeX distributions (within the limitations of the  
current dependency engine).


Charlse, you only seem to have texlive_texmf-minimal and texlive_base  
installed, not texlive. Install the texlive port, using the +minimal  
variant if you don't want to download texlive_texmf-full.

I think I have it installed already:

$ port installed | grep texlive

  texlive_texmf-minimal @2007_0 (active)

And also is it possible to use MacTex instead? If so, then how do I  
get rid of the texlive completely (I don't have enough space on my  
drive). I doubt if `port uninstall´ will do.

That's the problem then. You need to add the path to your paths :-}.
So that LyX knows where all your LaTeX stuff is.

This is what the LyX wiki says, http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac:

To use other implementations of teTeX which do not install the
binaries in /usr/texbin,
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current, /sw/bin,
/opt/local/teTeX/bin, or /usr/local/bin, either link the teTeX
binaries to one of those directories, or add the PATH of your teTeX
binaries to the PATH prefix field in LyX - Preferences - Paths.

I'm not exactly positive what path you need to add which would
correspond to the teTeX binaries. I would just do a trial and error.
First, just add /opt/local/share and then Reconfigure LyX and see if
Document-Settings-Document Class has changed to available. Bennett
is the Mac expert but he hasn't responded yet. I'm sure he would have
a more sophisticated approach.

Yes. I'm not sure where macports puts its latex files, but you can find out
by going to Terminal.app (Applications  Utilities) and typing:

which latex

which should return the path to latex. That path (minus the latex part) is
what you need to add to the PATH prefix, as Bob indicated. So for me, which
latex returns:

/usr/texbin/latex

and so I add to the beginning of PATH prefix just the /usr/texbin part,
followed by a colon (:). (Of course, in my case, /usr/texbin is already
there, which is why it works for me.) Then LyX should work for you.

Please let us know what you have to add. I haven't used macports lately, so
I'm not sure where they currently put the latex executables, but we should
make sure that is a part of the default PATH prefix so that others don't
have this problem.

One final note: there's no reason to use macports to install LyX. They
actually tend to be behind the current LyX binaries we post on the LyX
website. All you need to do is download the binary, drag LyX.app wherever
you want it, run the installer, and you're done.

Sounds like you haven't installed a TeX distribution. The distribution
will contain article.cls which article.layout needs.

I don't know much about Mac stuff, but I thought MacTeX was a popular
option. I'm sure there are other ways. Actually, I just looked at
MacPorts and they have TeXLive (this is the prefered distribution for
Linux). You need to install TeXLive which is a TeX distribution.

Before we try anything else. Open a shell as root and run 'texhash'
this should refresh the LaTeX package database. Then open LyX and run
Tools->Reconfigure and restart LyX, maybe run Reconfigure twice and
restart LyX. Do you still receive the error message?

In LyX Document->Settings->Document Class does 'article' show as
'Unavailable: article'? If so then either you don't have 'article.cls'
installed on your computer through the texlive packages or LyX is not
recognizing the path to texmf* folders.

If you have article.cls installed in one of the
/opt/local/share/texmf* directories then the path needs to be added to
Tools->Preferences->Paths->PATH prefix so that LyX will recognize the
files installed there. You should just need to add /opt/local/share to
the list of paths separated by a semi-colon and then reconfigure LyX.

 I have Tools->TeX Information here and then `LaTex classes' `Latex

`BibTex styles'. I Rescan them all (twice).
 And also LyX->Reconfigure which I did and then it asked me to

 Same error message pops-up!

 Here is the file that I am trying to open:

'Unavailable: article'?

Yes.

If so then either you don't have 'article.cls'
installed on your computer through the texlive packages or LyX is not
recognizing the path to texmf* folders.

In Tools->TeX Information under `LaTex classes' I have:

/opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls

If you have article.cls installed in one of the
/opt/local/share/texmf* directories then the path needs to be added to
Tools->Preferences->Paths->PATH prefix so that LyX will recognize the
files installed there.
In Lyx->Preference->Paths->PATH prefix I have

/usr/texbin:/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/ 
local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/ 
powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin- 
current:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/

That's the problem then. You need to add the path to your paths :-}.
So that LyX knows where all your LaTeX stuff is.

This is what the LyX wiki says, http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac:

To use other implementations of teTeX which do not install the
binaries in /usr/texbin,
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current, /sw/bin,
/opt/local/teTeX/bin, or /usr/local/bin, either link the teTeX
binaries to one of those directories, or add the PATH of your teTeX
binaries to the PATH prefix field in LyX -> Preferences -> Paths.

I'm not exactly positive what path you need to add which would
correspond to the teTeX binaries. I would just do a trial and error.
First, just add /opt/local/share and then Reconfigure LyX and see if
Document-Settings->Document Class has changed to "available". Bennett
is the Mac expert but he hasn't responded yet. I'm sure he would have
a more sophisticated approach.

Yes. I'm not sure where macports puts its latex files, but you can find out
by going to Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) and typing:

which latex

which should return the path to latex. That path (minus the "latex" part) is
what you need to add to the PATH prefix, as Bob indicated. So for me, "which
latex" returns:

/usr/texbin/latex

and so I add to the beginning of PATH prefix just the "/usr/texbin" part,
followed by a colon (":"). (Of course, in my case, "/usr/texbin" is already
there, which is why it works for me.) Then LyX should work for you.

Please let us know what you have to add. I haven't used macports lately, so
I'm not sure where they currently put the latex executables, but we should
make sure that is a part of the default PATH prefix so that others don't
have this problem.

One final note: there's no reason to use macports to install LyX. They
actually tend to be behind the current LyX binaries we post on the LyX
website. All you need to do is download the binary, drag LyX.app wherever
you want it, run the installer, and you're done.

Sounds like you haven't installed a TeX distribution. The distribution
will contain article.cls which article.layout needs.

I don't know much about Mac stuff, but I thought MacTeX was a popular
option. I'm sure there are other ways. Actually, I just looked at
MacPorts and they have TeXLive (this is the prefered distribution for
Linux). You need to install TeXLive which is a TeX distribution.
