Funny, I just did the same thing, but on a linux machine and with

Hope I can help you. A few questions/proposals:
1. When you do the reconfiguration of lyx, the program logs on
screen what
it finds and not. What about IEEEtran?
Actually, it doesn't log it on the screen on the Mac -- you have to
open Console.app to see it (or run it manually from the Terminal, as
I just suggested in another thread).
2. What does this report
$ kpsewhich IEEEtran.cls
It should give the path to where you put the file. If not, have
a look
at the variable TEXINPUTS. I think it should start with a :
otherwise
the default paths are lost.
On a fink installation (which is what you've got, right?) that
shouldn't be necessary. (Though are you sure /sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/
latex/base is the right place? ... I haven't used fink, but that
looks like not the right place to put user files.)

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.
I'm no TeXpert, but shouldn't you run "sudo texhash"? (And afterwards
reconfigure LyX.)
