Using a cygwin shell create the following directories ($ is the shell prompt): $ mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ieeetran $ mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/ieeetran Download IEEEtran.cls, IEEEtran.bst, and IEEEtranS.bst from http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/ Put IEEEtran.cls into /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ieeetran/ Put the .bst files into /usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/ieeetran/ Run texhash: $ texhash Test if it worked: $ kpsewhich IEEEtran.cls /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ieeetran/IEEEtran.cls However, note that you can also use miktex, so you could uninstall the cygwin tetex and install it in its place (remember to reconfigure lyx through Tools->Reconfigure if you do so). As a last note, if you installed the official cygwin version of LyX and don't see the math symbols, you may have to perform the actions listed here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users%40lists.lyx.org/msg52067.html This is not necessary if you installed this package: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-1.4.3-cygwin.tar.gz HTH -- Enrico
