Hello everybody,
I have been using Lyx very successfully for a long time on x86
Linux (SuSE) and convinced others to do so, too.
Now I have an Apple PowerBook with OSX 10.4 (Tiger) for a while
and decided to work again on larger documents (up to more than
1000 pages) with LyX.
A while ago I had problems installing teTeX with i-installer, but
now it worked.
Unfortunately, after searching the whole morning I could not find
a solution to the following problem within LyX:
No (not even one!) single document type is available. I can open
my old documents, but LyX warns me, that the original document
type specified in that document (like "book", "article" etc.) is
not available and therefore LyX will not be able to produce any
output - and it's right in saying so.
I already checked for the .layout files - they are there; for
the .cls-filex in /usr/local/teTeX ... - they are there. And I
could not find any hint on the web, what might be wrong with my
installation.
Am I the only one having this problem?
No -- this or similar issues have been covered several times on the
LyX User's list. (You can search the archives.)
hm, now I'm sure I'm blind that I did not find anything about it.
What could be the reason?
Most likely it's that your PATH Prefix is not set properly. Check
LyX > Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix; it 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
yes, this worked.
I did not need /sw because I do not have Fink.
Before that, I had only
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-currrent/latex
and this didn't work.
Now I'm soooo happy :-))
Thank you all for the help.
I hope I can give something back soon!
Bernd
For some reason I haven't been able to figure out (since I cannot
replicate the problem), this alone doesn't seem to do the trick for
some users of OSX 10.4. So check your PATH Prefix, restart LyX, run
Edit > Reconfigure, restart LyX again, and see if that improves
things.
Let us know what happens ....
