Problem creating new layout

2004-07-12 Thread Ernesto Posse
Hi. I'm having a problem installing a new layout. I've created my own layout file and put it under .lyx/layouts, including the associated .sty file, but when I reconfigure the new layout doesn't appear (under Layout|Document.) I found a file called "textclass.lst" both on my own directory and
