I built lyx on RedHat 6.2. 1st: WHen I first started lyx, and clicked file| import LaTeX was greyed out. I clicked in Options|LaTex and no options panel comes up, but then LaTeX under the import menu is no longer greyed out. Can you explain why? 2nd: I see there are lyx RPMs available and they have a separate package with the *.cls files in it that are copied into /usr/share/texfm. I'm not using the RPMs because I don't have root access on some machines. If I am not root, what do I do to make those cls files available to lyx? Did I miss some install doc? 3rd: I think lyx should write in /tmp, not the current directory or the directory where the document is located. reLyx fails unless I start lyx from a directory where I have write permissions and also the document I want to open is in a directory where I have write permissions. I think it is weird. Why doesn't it write in /tmp, so users won't see this in the console when they run lyx: $ lyx reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator.
