Hi,
I just downloaded and installed lyx for windows: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe Prior to this, I had no earlier latex related software installed. I selected all the default answers during the installation. I installed on my windows XP latest and greatest. After the fresh installation, when I run Lyx, I selected help->tutorial and was able to view the dvi for this without difficulty. I then tried help->user’s guide and I get the error: “Using the default document class, because the class scrbook is unknown” I then get a window full of multiple “Unknown layout” error messages, each one referring to a particular layout. The title of this window is “LyX: Parse errors” And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big yellow message saying: “To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed. This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions” Any help would be greatly received. I have tried many things so far, including running: tools->reconfigure But, I am confused as to why I am doing this, since during the installation, I should surely have got all the correct dependencies that are required? – Especially since I followed accepted all defaults… Any help greatly received for a LyX newbie. It looks like a great piece of kit. I am just miffed that it won’t work “out of the box” when using default settings. TIA, Yanni. ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of unwanted email? Get leading protection and 1GB storage with All New Yahoo!
