Subject: An installation problem
I have cygwin installed, and I've tried to install Windows LyX 1.3.7,
with all binary paths pointing to the relevant cygwin files (except for
GScript which is installed separately). However, the installation gives
me some error message about not being able to run a configuration
script, then whenever I start LyX I get:
LyX wasn't able to find its layout descriptions
Check that the file textclass.lst is installed correctly
in a dialog, and the console says
LyXTextClassList::Read: unable to find textclass file `'. Exiting.
I can't find that file anywhere; what to do?

I don't have 1.3.7 installed for Cygwin. There is a similar problem
which happens for the native(qt not X11) installation which is
solved by navigating to the LyX->Resources->LyX directory and
typing "sh configure" which will build the textclass file.
In the past the sh.exe which comes with Cygwin has not been the
same version which works that is provided by Minsys to install
LyX. Enrico Forestieri, who contributes to this list and to the
developer list offered to provide Cygwin cvs instructions but said
it was not for the feint of heart. Here is a link to previous talks:
