I got a new computer and installed LyX and TeTeX on it as described (at least I think I did) I used the i-installer for TeX and the related packages and the 1.3.6 .dmg for LyX. I am running OSX 10.3.9.

When I open an old LyX document I get a dialog that says:

Textclass error

The document uses a missing TeX class article
LyX will not be able to produce output.

Any clue as to what I messed up?

Are you sure teTeX is installed correctly? (Can you compile documents with article class from TeXShop, for example?)

Is LyX's PATH prefix set correctly? (LyX > Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix -- should be set to:

/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin- current:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin

If that's all ok, try running Edit > Reconfigure, quitting LyX, and relaunching. Does that work?
