Although I can now make nice posters using Latex with sciposter.cls, I
still wanted to use Lyx for posters, if possible.
I have tried to use the sciposter.layout for Lyx posted here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg63740.html
and stored the layout file in /usr/share/lyx/layouts
but when I tried to reconfigure Lyx (in order to acquaint it with
sciposter.layout and make the documentclass sciposter available in the
Document/settings, I got the message that reconfiguration had failed.
Removing the sciposter.layout file from the layouts directory
made it possible for me to reconfigure the system again, but how do I
include the layout file? Do I need to create a matching .inc file for
sciposter.layout?
THe manual recommends adult beverages for the creation of layout files,
but I need more sober advice.
Thanks,
Ehud Kaplan
