Thanks Vincent,

I'm use Luke Simon's layout as posted on this list:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg75472.html

Is it no longer compatible with LyX?

After another look at -dbg debug I see:

LyX: Could not find input file: obsolete.inc [around line 515 of file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ5049/convert_layout.XM5049 current token: 'obsolete.inc' context: ''] ../../src/TextClass.cpp(269): Unable to convert /home/bbogart/.lyx/layouts/acm_proc_article-sp.layout to format 11
Error reading `~/.lyx/layouts/acm_proc_article-sp.layout'
(Check `acm_proc_article-sp')
Check your installation and try Options/Reconfigure...
Error: Could not load class
----------------------------------------
The document class acm_proc_article-sp could not be loaded.
Error: Error
----------------------------------------
Unable to set document class.

On closer inspection its clear the layout expects something called "obsolete.inc" which no longer exists. Everything seems to work fine after removing the offending line from the layout.

So the bug is invalid, it was a problem with the layout.

Thanks for your time,
B. Bogart

Hello all,

I've posted the following bug against ubuntu, in LyX 1.6.4.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/515804

The bug report includes screenshots that illustrate the problem.

Anyone have any ideas what could be going on here?

Thanks,

There is most probably an error loading the layout file, because as far as I know, we don't load the class file explicitly.

As you write it's a custom layout file, I think that you made an error in it. Can you send the layout file you made ?
