Absolute paths!
But it still does not work. See
http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/LyX/sh_configure_error.pdf
for a screen shot.
I'm guessing you did this before you added the msys\1.0\bin directory to
the system path. The not found messages would be because grep.exe and
sed.exe are in the same directory with sh.exe. The absolute path lets
it find sh but is of no assistance with grep and sed.
Have you installed ghostgum?
No I am getting a failure on that. See my later
posting on that. I seem to be having a problem getting
GSview to write to the registry.
I looked at the screen-shot you posted of the Ghostgum installer's
death-rattle. It looks as though you're right; it appears to have
installed Ghostgum but failed while attempting to set file associations
in the registry. Are you an administrator on your machine? If not, you
may need to have someone with administrator rights do the installation.
In any case, if the only thing that gorked was the file associations,
that's not critical. You need file associations in order to
double-click a .ps file and have GSView open automatically, but LyX does
not rely on that. If GSView was added to your Start menu, try starting
it from there. If not, try opening a DOS prompt in the C:\Program
Files\Ghostgum\gsview directory and running 'gsview32'. If GSView
starts, you're in business; add it to the LyX application path
(Edit->Preferences->Paths->PATH prefix). Might not be a bad idea to add
the directory the system path as well. If GSView works but the
installer never got around to creating shortcuts on the Start menu, we
can remedy that manually. (Obviously, the best thing would be if we
could get it to install correctly. If you're not a system admin on your
machine, I would definitely try enlisting one's help.)
Paul
You ran from LyX, Edit --> Reconfigure ? after
putting c:\ghostgum\gsview in the
Lyx path prefix? You need both ghostgum and
ghostscript. I saw Paul question this also:
No since I never got gsview to install.
You're seeing them in LyX via View->TeX
Information? That's
inconsistent with the textclass not found

textclass XX is in the TeX Information list).
John replied:
Yes, they are appearing in View->TeX Information.
I
.now have entries for all three categories and

directory ( I did a

SH: Those .cls files are spread out through the
c:\texmf
and the subdirectories beneath. I think the best way
is to run Windows Search, use *.cls for the files to
find and focus the search on c:\texmf; that will
find and
report .cls in sub-directories of c:\texmf also
There should be 50 or 60 cls files reported under
TeX Information if you scroll down.
Yes they are there. The 10 were just the ones in one
subdir. I should have mentioned that.
Thanks for the dir > dir.txt advice.
