It could have been great if I could have pull this through. I tried the following preamble and it ended with the error :
/////////////////////////////////// \setupThesis{ author={Sajjadul Islam}, title={Laser Sintering}, type=msc, department=itn } \usepackage{rtmsc-defs} /////////////////////////////////// And The error I got is: /////////////////////////////////////// LaTeX Error: File `rtmsc.sty' not found. ////////////////////////////////////// Since you already got hold of the rtthesis class you will not find anything inside the rtthesis folder named rtthesis.sty once you unzip the folder. I am not sure where it is pointing to by rtmsc.sty. But I do believe that we can pull this through together. Let me describe how i managed to insert the LaTeX .cls file into the LyX interface and you could both address the issue . 1. I believe that you already have the rtthesis.zip file. I unzipped it into /usr/share/tex/latex/ , create a directory called rtthesis and copied all the files inside the newly created directory. 2. Then I ran texhash command with the root priviledge. 3. I created a rtthesis.layout file inside ~/.lyx/ and ran from LyX interface Tools->Reconfigure. 4. Restarted Lyx and I found the rtthesis showed up. Since then I just got the class loading properly , but still stuck with the issue of the inserting the options from the interface either through preamble/TeX code. Before inserting as preamble , I also tried to insert the above code directly into the LyX interface by inserting TeX code. But it did not help .
