Dear Anders and all,
sorry for the unprecise question -- after years of reading mailing
list (but having to write questions only very few times) I still
make these errors:
So, you are right, I installed everything regarding TeX with the i-
Installer.
Very strange ist, that _all_ the classes are "missing" from LyX's
point of view: When I open a new document, there is no complain -
but when I want to see a preview or transform it (e.g. into HTML),
LyX says it is not able to do so because of the missing classes.
That, on the "surface" is the only "error message" I got. I did not
try (because I never had to deal with this after my first LyX
installs on Linux in 1998 or so ...) to use the shell for further
information. Should I - and if, how?
When I open an old document - like the one I was successfully
writing and printing on Monday - I get "The document uses a missing
TeX class "article". LyX will not be able to produce output."
When I create a new document and check in the document preferences,
in the "class" list really all the dozens of classes are
"unavailable". As I wrote, this happened before, I already had
fixed it by putting a copy of the "LyX-1.4" folder and writing it's
path in the LyX preferences ... but now LyX seems to be not able to
find any of the paths mentioned in my post below.
What do you have in the PATH Prefix setting (LyX > Preferences > Paths)?
