Hi:
I've been having a lot of trouble installing a new class for LyX with
my mac. I am hoping to use LyX to write my doctoral dissertation. I
am trying to install the thesis class for my university, authesis.cls.
I have followed the directions, I believe, but am not getting the class to
work.
I have placed these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
i have placed a layout file (authesis.layout) at this location:
username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts
The layout file reads:
#% Do not delete hte line below; configure depens on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
[snip]
Thanks,
Mike
Since it is a thesis class, are you sure that the article class should be
used, and not the book class instead? Try the following layout file:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{book (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input book.layout
Best regards,
Andreas

And better yet, open up authesis.cls in a text editor and find out there
what it's based on. Somewhere, there is like to be a \LoadClass line:
That's the one we want.

LyX should write a configure.log file for you. You can post that. Actually, I just tried this myself, and there may be a bug here. Which LyX version are you using again? rh

The correct line should be: python /path/to/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py (of course replacing /path/to by the appropriate path. /library/applications is not the standard location for applications; it's typically just /Applications). Note 2 (or 3) other things: 1. There's a space after python. 2. It should be Contents (with an s), not content. 3. Depending on your file system, the capitalization of LyX Contents and Resources may matter. When in doubt, use proper capitalization. Bennett

The layout files should be in ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/layouts/. The username bit is meant to indicate your main user directory, whatever that is.

I looked at my layout file and found this one online in the archive.
I made mine look just like this replacing ucthesis with authesis and
it still isn't working well. Do you know if this layout file looks
more correct?

You need a # before the \Declare So try this:

Put that in authesis.layout, and it should work now. We can hope!!

open LyX and my class is not available, and if I configure I still get
the error. Can you help again?, thanks.
It seems to have died at authesis again:

There ought to be more document classes there.
Anyway, I've just created the attached layout in my local directory and
run configure, which worked fine. So you might try using it, just in case.
Try deleting textclass.lst from your user directory, too. The previous
failures may be causing problems.
This WILL work.

Apparently, the \degreeyear and so forth have to come before the title,
etc. If you take the sample thesis, import it into LyX, and then cut and
paste all the stuff from \degreeyear up to \copyrightpage, and put that
before the title, then it will work.
A better solution would be to put those into the layout. If you use the
attached layout, you can import the document much better. You'll still
need to delete the ERT boxes with comments that come between
Professor Mih Sing Cite and Introspective Empiricism, but once you
do that, it will compile.
Getting a really good layout would require a bit more work, but this
gets things started.

Hi:
I've been having a lot of trouble installing a new class for LyX with
my mac. I am hoping to use LyX to write my doctoral dissertation. I
am trying to install the thesis class for my university, authesis.cls.
I have followed the directions, I believe, but am not getting the class to
work.
I have placed these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
i have placed a layout file (authesis.layout) at this location:
username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts
The layout file reads:
#% Do not delete hte line below; configure depens on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
[snip]
Thanks,
Mike
Since it is a thesis class, are you sure that the article class should be
used, and not the book class instead? Try the following layout file:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{book (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input book.layout
Best regards,
Andreas

And better yet, open up authesis.cls in a text editor and find out there
what it's based on. Somewhere, there is like to be a \LoadClass line:
That's the one we want.

The correct line should be: python /path/to/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py (of course replacing /path/to by the appropriate path. /library/applications is not the standard location for applications; it's typically just /Applications). Note 2 (or 3) other things: 1. There's a space after python. 2. It should be Contents (with an s), not content. 3. Depending on your file system, the capitalization of LyX Contents and Resources may matter. When in doubt, use proper capitalization. Bennett

Re: install thesis class, Mac
I followed your directions. you said (thanks for being so explicit ): That is, in Terminal, type: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ to get to the user directory. Then type: python /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py to reconfigure. (Note that in this line there is no /ui before configure.) I still did not have luck. Is this perhaps because i have placed my files in the wrong spot? Should the authesis.layout file i made be with all the other layout files? in Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ instead of in username/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts ? And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo, auecon.clo) should not be in this location: users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ Once again, thank you very much.

The layout files should be in ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/layouts/. The username bit is meant to indicate your main user directory, whatever that is. That's what ~ gets you, and also should be the content of the $HOME environment variable. So if you do: echo $HOME you'll get your home directory back. And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo, auecon.clo) should not be in this location: users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ If kpsewhich is seeing them, then they are fine. So you might want to check that again: kpsewhich authesis.cls rh

Can you tell me what the error means?
I looked at my layout file and found this one online in the archive.
I made mine look just like this replacing ucthesis with authesis and
it still isn't working well. Do you know if this layout file looks
more correct?

Put that in authesis.layout, and it should work now. We can hope!!

There ought to be more document classes there.
Anyway, I've just created the attached layout in my local directory and
run configure, which worked fine. So you might try using it, just in case.
Try deleting textclass.lst from your user directory, too. The previous
failures may be causing problems.
This WILL work.

Apparently, the \degreeyear and so forth have to come before the title,
etc. If you take the sample thesis, import it into LyX, and then cut and
paste all the stuff from \degreeyear up to \copyrightpage, and put that
before the title, then it will work.
A better solution would be to put those into the layout. If you use the
attached layout, you can import the document much better. You'll still
need to delete the ERT boxes with comments that come between
Professor Mih Sing Cite and Introspective Empiricism, but once you
do that, it will compile.
Getting a really good layout would require a bit more work, but this
gets things started.

Since it is a thesis class, are you sure that the article class should be
used, and not the book class instead? Try the following layout file:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{book (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input book.layout
Best regards,
Andreas

And better yet, open up authesis.cls in a text editor and find out there
what it's based on. Somewhere, there is like to be a \LoadClass line:
That's the one we want.

LyX should write a configure.log file for you. You can post that. Actually, I just tried this myself, and there may be a bug here. Which LyX version are you using again? rh

The correct line should be: python /path/to/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py (of course replacing "/path/to" by the appropriate path. "/library/applications" is not the standard location for applications; it's typically just "/Applications"). Note 2 (or 3) other things: 1. There's a space after "python". 2. It should be "Contents" (with an "s"), not "content". 3. Depending on your file system, the capitalization of "LyX" "Contents" and "Resources" may matter. When in doubt, use proper capitalization.

Re: install thesis class, Mac
I followed your directions. you said (thanks for being so explicit ): That is, in Terminal, type: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.5/ to get to the user directory. Then type: python /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py to reconfigure. (Note that in this line there is no "/ui" before "configure".) I still did not have luck. Is this perhaps because i have placed my files in the wrong spot? Should the authesis.layout file i made be with all the other layout files? in Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ instead of in username/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts ? And perhaps, these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo, auecon.clo) should not be in this location: users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ Once again, thank you very much.

Wrong input layout file with line '\\DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]\{authesis\}\
Can you tell me what the error means?
I looked at my layout file and found this one online in the archive.
I made mine look just like this replacing ucthesis with authesis and
it still isn't working well. Do you know if this layout file looks
more correct?
(located at: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg59944.html)
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this #
\DeclareLaTeXClass[ucthesis]{UC Thesis}
# Read the definitions from report.layout

You need a "#" before the \Declare So try this:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this #
#\DeclareLaTeXClass{AU Thesis}
# Read the definitions from report.layout
Input report.layout
Put that in authesis.layout, and it should work now. We can hope!!

Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks. I changed the layout file as you suggested:

#\DeclareLaTeXClass{authesis}
# Read the definitions from report.layout
Input report.layout
and here is the output from terminal. It looks like it worked (?). I
open LyX and my class is not available, and if I configure I still get
the error. Can you help again?, thanks.

Anyway, I've just created the attached layout in my local directory and

Try deleting textclass.lst from your user directory, too. The previous
failures may be causing problems.
This WILL work.

Apparently, the \degreeyear and so forth have to come before the title,
etc. If you take the sample thesis, import it into LyX, and then cut and
paste all the stuff from \degreeyear up to \copyrightpage, and put that
before the title, then it will work.
A better solution would be to put those into the layout. If you use the
attached layout, you can import the document much better. You'll still
need to delete the "ERT" boxes with comments that come between
"Professor Mih Sing Cite" and "Introspective Empiricism", but once you
do that, it will compile.
Getting a really good layout would require a bit more work, but this
gets things started.

install thesis class, Mac
Hi:
I've been having a lot of trouble installing a new class for LyX with
my mac. I am hoping to use LyX to write my doctoral dissertation. I
am trying to install the thesis class for my university, authesis.cls.
I have followed the directions, I believe, but am not getting the class to work.
I have placed these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
i have placed a layout file (authesis.layout) at this location:
username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts
The layout file reads:
#% Do not delete hte line below; configure depens on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
After doing this, I open terminal typed texhash and then quit terminal
I went to LyX, reconfigure and i get an error message that says, The
system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX
may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed.
I close LyX, start it again, and then if I go to Document, Settings, I
do not see the authesis in the document class menu(and the number of
classes I have listed is now much smaller than before i tried to
install this class).
Can someone help? I would very greatly appreciate it! I am very new
to both LyX and my Mac.
Thanks,
Mike

I'd try Input article.layout instead, and get the whole thing.
After doing this, I open terminal typed texhash
Try kpsewhich authesis.cls. If you don't get a sensible response, then
TeX hasn't found it.
and then quit terminal
I went to LyX, reconfigure and i get an error message that says, The

That's because of the reconfigure failure.
What I'd suggest is to try to run the reconfigure directly from
/users/username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/. I.e., open a
terminal, go to that directory, and then run python
/path/to/configure.py. If you can't figure out where that file is,

When you hit ToolsConfigure, what it actually does is run the
configure.py python script and write a bunch of files to your user
directory. One of these, for example, is textclass.lst, which contains a
list of all the layout files configure.py finds and some information
about them. You can run this configure.py script from outside LyX, and
that's what we want to do. But we have to run it from your user
directory, that is, from where configure.py is, since the file will
write the next textclass.lst to the directory from which you run it.
That said, you CAN run it from anywhere, and since we're just debugging
you can run it from /tmp/, and then it won't actually change any of your
files. What we want is error messages right now.

/users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/ or the location of

For now:
# cd /tmp/
but for real:
# cd username/library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/
That ought to be where textclass.lst lives.
and then I type python/path/to/configure.py in terminal? when I
tried this, it said -bash ... doesn't exist
Type:
# python /path/to/configure.py
where the /path/to/ part is replaced by the actual path to
configure.py. I don't know what that is on your machine, because I'm not
on Mac. (On my machine, it would be: /usr/local/share/lyx/configure.py,
but this probably isn't right for you.) But maybe you can try:
# locate configure.py
I don't know if locate is available on Mac, though.
I'm cc'ing Bennett, as he knows about Mac stuff.
rh
Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks again. I took your advice. I located configure.py I opened
terminal, typed:
# cd /tmp/
then,
#python/library/applications/lyx.app/content/resources/configure.py
Then, I opened LyX, and tried to reconfigure. I got the same error
message that the configure did not work. Is it of interest that if I
go to, Tools-Tex Information, I see authesis under the list of
classes?
I really appreciate your help so far! thanks, mike

install thesis class, Mac
Hi:
I've been having a lot of trouble installing a new class for LyX with
my mac. I am hoping to use LyX to write my doctoral dissertation. I
am trying to install the thesis class for my university, authesis.cls.
I have followed the directions, I believe, but am not getting the class to work.
I have placed these files (authesis.cls, aucas.clo, aut10.clo,
auecon.clo) in this location:
users/username/library/texmf/tex/latex/authesis/
i have placed a layout file (authesis.layout) at this location:
username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/layouts
The layout file reads:
#% Do not delete hte line below; configure depens on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
After doing this, I open terminal typed texhash and then quit terminal
I went to LyX, reconfigure and i get an error message that says, The
system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX
may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed.
I close LyX, start it again, and then if I go to Document, Settings, I
do not see the authesis in the document class menu(and the number of
classes I have listed is now much smaller than before i tried to
install this class).
Can someone help? I would very greatly appreciate it! I am very new
to both LyX and my Mac.
Thanks,
Mike

I'd try Input article.layout instead, and get the whole thing.
After doing this, I open terminal typed texhash
Try kpsewhich authesis.cls. If you don't get a sensible response, then
TeX hasn't found it.

That's because of the reconfigure failure.
What I'd suggest is to try to run the reconfigure directly from
/users/username/libarary/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/. I.e., open a
terminal, go to that directory, and then run python
/path/to/configure.py. If you can't figure out where that file is,
someone else will know. Anyway, you'll get more helpful error messages then.

Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks for your response.
I updated my layout file to read:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{article (authesis)}
Format 4
# Input general definitions
Input article.layout
and I tried kpsewhich authesis.cls in the terminal. the response was
the location of the file. I noticed that when I tried texhash,
terminal told me that it was not writeable, so I tried sudo texhash
and it gave me the same response as kpsewhich. I still get the same
error message in LyX.
I don't under stand your last recommendation:

Re: install thesis class, Mac
Thanks again. I took your advice. I located configure.py I opened
terminal, typed:
# cd /tmp/
then,
#python/library/applications/lyx.app/content/resources/configure.py
Then, I opened LyX, and tried to reconfigure. I got the same error
message that the configure did not work. Is it of interest that if I
go to, Tools-Tex Information, I see authesis under the list of
classes?
I really appreciate your help so far! thanks, mike
