Thanks,
Following is the result of rerunning the configure script. I've looked at
doc/LaTexConfig.lyx as suggested below and not found it particularly
enlightening. However, by examining the results of running configure, I
guess my problem is that LyX can find none of the document classes it is
looking for with this configuration script. Is this right? If so, how do I
retrieve them--should they have been part of my Latex distribution, or are
they from another source?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I need to have this up and running soon--I
just don't have them time to learn latex right now.
Thanks very much,
Albert
