Thanks. Here is what terminal said after I typed in your suggested line. Is this the output you wanted me to post? I have no idea what it means. LyX still fails to reconfigure. Once again, thank you so much for your help. Also, I am using LyX 1.5.6 . I looked throught the authesis.cls file and did not find a line that said /LoadClass line.
