I am new to LATEX/LYX, and I am interested in trying it out for my
thesis. I have found the LATEX style and class for my thesis
(http://physics.illinois.edu/grad/thesis-templates.asp). They appear
to be appropriately installed, I can see them both in MiKTeX 2.8 and
they also appear in LYX in Tools:TeX Information.
Where I seem to be running into problems is with the Layout file. I
have tried following the instructions in Help:Customization
regarding creating a new layout file, and haven't managed to get it
to work. When I go to Document:Settings:Document Class, uiucthesis
does not appear. When I try "Local Layout" there, it tells me
"Unable to read local layout file". Can someone either generate a
layout for me from the uiucthesis2009 class/style provided, or help
me figure out how to do that properly myself?
Can you post the layout file you have so far?
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLATEXClass[uiucthesis,book]{uiucthesis}
I'd do just:
# \DeclareLATEXClass[book]{UIUC Thesis Class}
to start. You can add the other back if you need to do so. It may also
need to be:
# \DeclareLATEXClass[book,uiucthesis]{UIUC Thesis Class}
in that order. I'm not sure.
# UIUC Thesis textclass definition file.

The rest looks as if it should be OK. Make sure you have put this in the
right place, namely, in the layouts/ subdirectory of your user
directory, whose location you can find in Help>About LyX. Then do
Tools>Reconfigure.
