all:
I get following error message:
``The layout file requested by this document, article.layout, is not
usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file
required by it
is not available. See the Customization documentation for more
information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.''
when I try to open a .tex file. What's going on and what are we

Sounds like you haven't installed a TeX distribution. The distribution
will contain article.cls which article.layout needs.
I don't know much about Mac stuff, but I thought MacTeX was a popular
option. I'm sure there are other ways. Actually, I just looked at
MacPorts and they have TeXLive (this is the prefered distribution for
Linux). You need to install TeXLive which is a TeX distribution.

Hi,
It seems that I have textlive already installed.
$ port installed | grep texlive
texlive_base @2007_1 (active)
texlive_texmf-minimal @2007_0 (active)
