In Lyx 1.0.1 on SuSE Linux 6.1 the RevTex template does not dvi.
It comes back with the Latex error "cannot find revtex.sty".
Without any description of the mechanism of template inclusion and template
workings we are totally stumped by the sheer number of files and directory
depths in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and elsewhere.
Could you please give us a reference to a HowTo or Readme or give us some
clues where to find a Am Phys Society template that works.

I know I'm supposed to be the revtex geek here, but I tend to get confused
about the file hierarchies too. The fact that I haven't actually written
anything with revtex doesn't help. So I'm forwarding this to the lyxlist for
comment.
If you search for "revtex" at www.aps.org, you'll find the revtex 3.1 ftp
site, which includes a readme and stuff. In the LyX distribution, there's a
file (in lib/tex/revtex.cls) which includes that revtex.sty, which is
probably supposed to be somewhere like /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc.
Btw, if you have tetex, there's some kind of texhash command you may need to
run.
Just to make your life a bit more complicated, APS just release a beta for
revtex4. The good news is that it's (much) more latex2e compatible, so it'll
work better with LyX. The bad news is that lyx doesn't have a revtex4
textclass yet. I started working on it but got caught up in other terribly
important things. Once it's done, we'll hopefully make the regular revtex
layout deprecated. But I need to finish it & write up some docs (which
revtex.layout doesn't have yet).
