I am trying to use the curriculum vitae class in lyx and it is listed
as unavailable. How to I install it or make it available?
LyX 1.3.6 comes with the "cv" example and the "cv" LyX layout and "cv" class.
On my system, lyx also doesn't see the class:
+checking for document class cv [cv]... no
It is available for me at /usr/pkg/share/lyx/tex/cv.cls
Should the lyx installation put these into a known LaTeX path? Or should it
run mktexlsr?
I fixed the lyx packages for pkgsrc by patching lib/Makefile.in so it
would not install the $(TEXSUPPORT) files. Then I manually installed
these files to my tex directory.
Can the lyx configure add an option to choose where they can be installed?
So it can easily be installed to ${PREFIX}/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx/ for
example.
I didn't look, but I was also told that Debian's lyx package also
installs these files to its own hierarchy. And Gentoo uses a symlink to
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx for same. (See
