Hi,
I just upgraded my machine from Redhat 9 to Fedora Core 4. Since the
upgrade (which I saw inclued a tetex upgrade), LyX 1.3.6 does not
recognize any Tex document classes: 'The document uses a missing TeX
class "article". LyX will not be able to produce output'. I found
previous messages on the archives with similar troubles and tried those
solutions (in particular
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg40759.html and
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg39463.html ),
but they did not work for me. My TeX classes are present: they are
found by LyX in View->TeX Information ->LaTeX classes ->article.cls (for
example), and they are also found by doing
$ kpsewhich tex article.cls
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls
I have run texhash and LyX->Edit->Reconfigure, deleted my ~/.lyx
directory and restarted, even reinstalled LyX just to be sure, to no
avail.
When I do LyX->Help->LaTeX Configuration, Section 1 says that "The LaTeX
version that LyX will use is: ???" And every item in the document is
followed by a "Found: ???". So LyX can't find LaTeX just because I
upgraded my OS? To be fair, I never bothered to check what this file
said before the upgrade, as everything worked fine.
I am now out of ideas, and any you have would be much appreciated.
Reinstalling teTeX seems a bit extreme, since everything is here already.
thanks,
Derek Lamb
