I just installed LyX on my Mac and after all the installing I decided to try it out. The first template I tried failed as it was the IEEE template. I downloaded IEEEtran.cls and stuck it in the appropriate place.
/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base I ran: mktexlsr I also did the reconfigure from the edit menu in LyX and restarted the program. After all that, I still get the same error: Textclass error The document uses a missing TeX class IEEEtran LyX will not be able to produce output. I'm stuck now but I would like to try and learn this new tool for writing papers. I have used FrameMaker for many years but it is no longer supported on a Mac so I am looking for alternatives. Any help is appreciated. Rob
