Yes, that was the problem. I removed my customized stdclass.inc from
the Users layout folder and everything works fine.
What is the difference with the new layout format? Do I just need to
add "Format 2" at the beginning? I have a number of other customized
layout files that I would like to keep using. Thanks for the help.

No, there are more changes. Actually the missing "Format 2" line tells LyX that it is an old layout file and it will convert it on the fly to the new
format before reading it.
Your modified old layouts should still work, as long as you did not modify one of the standard .inc files. If they don't, look at the console output
and post it here. If you want to convert them permanently to the new
format, use the layout2layout python script that comes in the scripts
folder of your LyX installation:

python layout2layout.py old.layout new.layout

Thanks. I ran one of my layout files through layout2layout and all it seemed to do was add Format 2 at the beginning. But I guess it was a pretty simple layout. I looked at a few of the standard layout files and they all had Format 2. Can you point me to a 1.4 layout file in the new format? Just curious to see some of the differences.

Steve
