Hi All, I think it's really a Lyx bug in fact. It says that article, book,... are not available but in the LaTeXConfig.lyx these layouts are well recognized! See attached file...,
Regards, Frank. ________________ the history of my pb : De : franck.me...@orange-ftgroup.com [mailto:franck.me...@orange-ftgroup.com] Envoyé : vendredi 26 février 2010 18:46 À : lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Cc : lyx...@lists.lyx.org Objet : RE: [help] impossible to use Lyx with miktex 2.8? Hi, I've retried for the 6th time... Same error : all lyx layouts not available... Please find attached the last lyx installation report. Before I've checked and cleaned all the register base (Windows XP - FR). May be it's a problem of the French version? May be it's a curse problem? Surely without diagnostic tools inside Lyx I think one cannot find the problem. I've followed all the instructions people on these list gave to me... Thanks a lot to all people who tried to help!, but I think may be now it's better to give up. <<rapportInstllationLyx.txt>> Regards, Frank. _____________________________________________ De : MEYER Franck RD-TECH-LAN Envoyé : jeudi 25 février 2010 12:31 À : 'lyx-users@lists.lyx.org' Cc : 'lyx...@lists.lyx.org' Objet : [help] impossible to use Lyx with miktex 2.8? Hi, It seems impossible to use Lyx 1.6 with miktex 2.8 on my laptop on windows XP. Each time lyx doesn't recognize the document classes, saying that the layout are not available (article, scrbook,...) I 've tried 5 installations / desintallations of all miktex and Lyx. I'am administrator on my laptop I've downloaded all the available latex packages I' ve tried to use the standard lyx installer and the alt one. I've used each time the reconfigure options of lyx.. Some people said it is a known issue in the mailing list archive, OK but what is the solution?, I can't find it. I 'am on this issue for one week, I am becoming a little bit desperate... More than that I have on another windows XP PC (desktop) an old mikex 2.7 with Lyx 1.6 working perfectly well... But miktex 2.7 is now not available. I'am going to test Texlive if it is possible.

Inventory of your LaTeX configuration Automatically generated by LyX (do not edit). This file describes the different LaTeX add-ons that LyX can handle. Below you'll find six sections: 1. Some basic details about your LaTeX installation. In particular, you should make sure that your version of LaTeX is recent enough. 2. Some common fonts that LyX knows about. This is rather sparse at the moment. 3. The document classes that should be standard on any LaTeX implementation. This section is only here for completeness. 4. Some optional document classes that LyX knows about. If one of these is marked as missing (the Found item is no) and you need its functionality, you can grab it at your nearest CTAN ftp site at the location indicated in the CTAN item. Note that only detected document classes can be selected as document layouts in LyX. 5. The packages that have been stamped required by the LaTeX maintainers. These ones should definitely be present, but you may not have some of them if your LaTeX distribution is a bit old. 6. Some packages that LyX uses when you try to change the margins of your document. The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available inside LyX. 7. Some common LaTeX packages that you might need with LyX, and you might also want to add to your LaTeX installation. The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available inside LyX. Note that most of these packages will be available if you use a modern TeX distribution such as TeXLive and MiKTeX. If you decide to install one of the missing items, you should tell LyX about it. After the installation, please use the menu entry Tools->Reconfigure and reload this file to see if the new package was recognized. If the Found items read no, it means that LyX could not do the inventory of your LaTeX configuration for some reason. In most cases, you only have forgotten to update the file name database (texhash). Check the documentation of your LaTeX distribution for how this is done properly. 1 Fonts 1.1 EC fonts MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/ec MM Notes: LaTeX does not require the use of ec fonts, however they are strongly recommended. The ec fonts are available in a more natural range of sizes and allow better hyphenation and kerning than the old fonts such as cmr10. If you already have the so-called dc fonts installed, please upgrade to the ec fonts, which replace them. They are used automatically if LyX determines that you have them installed. 1.2 Latin Modern MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/lm/ MM Notes: The Latin Modern fonts are PostScript versions of LaTeX' standard font (Computer Modern). They aim to become the default LaTeX font eventually. We recommend to use them instead of other PostScript versions of Computer Modern (like AE). 1.3 Almost European (AE) MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/ae/ MM Notes: The AE package provide virtual PostScript versions of LaTeX' standard font (Computer Modern). Unless you rely on special characters, we recommend to use Latin Modern instead. 1.4 Eco MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/eco/ MM Notes: The eco package is used by LyX to access the old style numerals of the Computer Modern font family. 1.5 psnfss MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/psnfss/ MM Notes: The psnfss bundle allows you to change the fonts used by LyX to one of the 35 classical fonts available on PostScript printers. Currently, the support for psnfss is limited in LyX: you can only chose a few combinations of PostScript fonts in Layout->Document. Different versions of psnfss provide different font packages. Even if LyX supports the deprecated packages as well, we recommend that you take care to have the newest ones installed. A recent psnfss bundle should at least include: avant (Avant Garde). Found: bookman (Bookman). Found: chancery (Zapf Chancery). Found: charter (Charter). Found: courier (Courier). Found: helvet (Helvetica). Found: mathpazo (newest Palatino support). Found: mathpple (deprecated Palatino support). Found: mathptm (deprecated Times support). Found: mathptmx (newest Times support). Found: newcent (New Century Gothic). Found: pifont (Zapf Dingbats). Found: utopia (Utopia). Found: 1.6 fourier-GUTenberg MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/fourier-GUT MM Notes: The fourier package provides support for the Utopia PostScript font. Contrary to the utopia package that ships with PSNFSS bundle, it also provides suitable math fonts. If this package is installed, it will be used instead of utopia if you select the Utopia font. 1.7 CM bright MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/cmbright MM Notes: CM bright is a sans serif font that also provides nice sans serif math fonts. 1.8 Bera MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/bera MM Notes: The bera fonts are a clone of Bitstream Vera, including Bera Serif (a slab-serif Roman), Bera Sans (a Frutiger descendant), and Bera Mono (monospaced/typewriter). 1.9 Concrete MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ccfonts/ MM Notes: The ccfonts package provides support for the font that has been designed by Donald Knuth for his Concrete Mathematics book, hence called concrete fonts. 1.10 LuxiMono MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/LuxiMono/ MM Notes: The luximono package provides support for the monospaced Luxida Mono font. 1.11 tipa/tipx MM Found: MM CTAN: fonts/tipa/ MM Notes: The tipa package provides comprehensive support and fonts for typesetting phonetic symbols, as defined in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The input of these symbols is provided by LyX's math editor and via the Insert->Special Character->Symbols... dialog. 2 Standard LaTeX document classes The document classes presented in this section are the basic document classes provided by LaTeX. In particular, they are all present on your system as long as LaTeX2e is installed. When the text indicates that a particular class has not been found, this means the layout file supporting this particular class has not been found. 2.1 article MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The standard document class article is used to type articles or short texts. It is the basic LaTeX document class. 2.2 report MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The standard document class report is similar to article but is slightly more structured (support for different parts). 2.3 book MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The standard document class book is, as its name suggests, intended to produce books. It supports in particular sectioning by chapters. 2.4 letter MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The standard document class letter is the basic class for writing letters, mostly in English. 2.5 slides MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The standard document class slides is intended to produce transparencies. It is not very well supported by LyX. It is advised to use foils instead if it is available (see [ssec:foils]). 2.6 amsart MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/amslatex/classes/ MM Notes: The document class amsart is an alternative to the class article. It is part of the AMS-LaTeX package and is used for typesetting of mathematics with a look the American Mathematical Society has developed. They recommend it for the preparation of manuscripts intended for publication both in the Society's books and journals, and also in other mathematical literature. The Society requests that published documents prepared with AMS-LaTeX include an acknowledgment of its use. LyX support is still limited. 3 Additional document classes 3.1 aa MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A (available from ftp site ftp.edpsciences.org in directory /pub/aa/) MM Notes: The document class aa (Version 5.01) can be used to write articles for submission to the scientific journal Astronomy and Astrophysicspublished by EDP Sciences. 3.2 aastex MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A (available from the American Astronomical Society's ftp site ftp.aas.org in directory /pubs) MM Notes: The document class aastex can be used to write articles for submission to the American journals Astrophysical Journal, Astronomical Journal and Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. 3.3 AGU Journals MM Found: , MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/aguplus MM Notes: The document class jgrga can be used to write articles for the Journal of Geophysical Research, published by the American Geophysical Union. The layout consists of two parts: the general part aguplus.inc, and the journal specific part jgrga.layout. It is not very thoroughly tested yet. It would be straightforward to extend this to support other publications of the AGU. The document class agums (file agums.layout) can be used to write articles for first-time submission to AGU editors (e. g., for review and copy editing) 3.4 beamer MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/beamer MM Notes: A LaTeX class for producing presentations and slides. 3.5 broadway MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A (must be installed from the tex/ subdirectory of LyX source distribution) MM Notes: The document class broadway is for writing plays.

You need the sgmltools v2.0 package installed to use this. 3.9 dtk MM Found: MM CTAN: usergrps/dante/dtk/ MM Notes: The document class dtk can be used to write articles for the Journal of the German TeX User Group Die TeXnische Komödie. MM WWW: http://www.dante.de 3.10 egs (European Geophysical Society journals) MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The document class egs can be used to write articles for the European Geophysical Society. 3.11 elsart MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/elsevier/ MM WWW: http://authors.elsevier.com/ MM Notes: This package is intended for producing journal articles for publication by Elsevier Science. 3.12 entcs MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM WWW: http://math.tulane.edu/~entcs/ MM Notes: The document class entcs is Elsevier Science's Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science article style, used for the ENTCS series, and many conference proceedings. 3.13 europecv MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/europecv MM Notes: The europecv document class is intended to provide curriculum vitaes (resumes) according to the official guidelines of the european community (europass). It therefore supports the european language self-assessment. An example curriculum vitae created using this document class can be found in the examples. 3.14 extsizes MM Found: extarticle: , extbook: , extreport: , extletter: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/extsizes/ MM Notes: These document classes are equivalent to the corresponding standard classes (article, book, ...) with additional document-wide font sizes. 3.15 foils MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/foiltex/ MM Notes: The document class foils (aka FoilTeX) provides an alternative to the standard slides class to make transparencies. It allows cross references, uses a less ugly font, and is in general much better to use than slides. It does not however have some of the advanced features found in the seminar class, which is not currently supported by LyX. Note that, due to its somewhat restrictive license, it is not included in free TeX distributions like teTeX. 3.16 g-brief-en MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/g-brief/ MM Notes: The document class g-brief-en can be used to type commercial letters with a nice outfit. 3.17 g-brief-de MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/g-brief/ MM Notes: The document class g-brief-de is the same as the above g-brief-en only with german labels. 3.18 g-brief2 MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/g-brief/ MM Notes: The document class g-brief2 can be used to type commercial letters with a nice outfit. It's the successor of g-brief, its better configurable, but not backward compatible to g-brief. A template document using this document class is shipped with LyX. 3.19 hollywood MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A (must be installed from the tex/ subdirectory of LyX source distribution) MM Notes: The document class hollywood can be used to type spec scripts for the U.S. film industry. It is not an existing LaTeX document class, but a new one which is distributed with LyX. 3.20 IEEEtran MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/ MM Notes: The class IEEEtran produces documents suitable for submission to most of the IEEE Transactions. You should consult the IEEE Author Information pages at http://www.ieee.org if you intend to use this class. Note that there are both IEEEtran.cls and IEEEtran.sty files. You must get the .cls file for use with LyX as the .sty file is for LaTeX 2.09 only. Also note that if your ieeetran.cls is in lowercase like this example LyX will not find it and you should upgrade to a newer version which has IEEE in capitals. 3.21 ijmpc MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM WWW: available from the site http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmpc/mkt/guidelines.shtml. MM Notes: The document class ijmpc can be used to write articles for submission to the International Journal of Modern Physics C (usually abbreviated as IJMPC), published by World Scientific. 3.22 ijmpd MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM WWW: available from the site http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmpd/mkt/guidelines.shtml.

MM 3.28 KOMA-Script MM Found: scrartcl: , scrreprt: , scrbook: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/ MM Notes: These document classes provide different versions of the base LaTeX document classes article, report and book. They have been changed to look somewhat better and be more adapted to european typesetting standards. 3.29 KOMA-Script letter MM Found: scrlettr: , scrlttr2: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/ MM Notes: These letter classes are bundled with the Koma-Script classes (see [sub:Koma-Script]). LyX provides layouts for both the old (now unsupported) scrlettr class and the new, much more flexible scrlttr2 class, which was introduced with Koma-Script version 2.9 (released 2002-06-21). 3.30 latex8 MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The class latex8 is actually a LaTeX style file that adds some extra features to the article document class. It produces documents suitable for submission to IEEE Conferences. The LaTeX files (including BibTeX style file) are distributed with the Author Kit for IEEE sponsored conferences. 3.31 linuxdoc MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The class linuxdoc is not a LaTeX document class. It is designed to produce LinuxDoc-SGML documents, which, in turn, can be exported as HTML, RTF, text or... LaTeX. You need to have the sgml-tools (previously known as LinuxDoc) set of programs installed to use this. 3.32 llncs MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: The document class llncs can be used to write articles for submission to the Springer journal Lecture Notes in Computer Science. LaTeX documents are available from Springer's ftp site on the following URL:ftp://trick.ntp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e. The LyX layout file for this document class is still insufficiently tested. 3.33 memoir MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/memoir/ MM Notes: memoir is a flexible class for typesetting general fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. Documents can use 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 or 17pt as the normal font size. Many methods are provided to let you create your own particular design. 3.34 moderncv MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/moderncv MM Notes: The moderncv document class is intended to provide nice looking curriculum vitae (resume). It provides bibliography support (useful for academics).

They have been adapted to polish typesetting standards by Marcin Wolinski. 3.36 paper MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/paper/ MM Notes: The document class paper provides an alternative to the standard article class. It provides similar functionality, but you might prefer this layout with sans serif sections, headings, and more. 3.37 powerdot MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/powerdot MM Notes: A LaTeX class for producing presentations and slides. 3.38 SPIE MM Found: MM CTAN: N/A MM WWW: http://public.lanl.gov/kmh/spie/ MM Notes: spie.cls is a LaTeX class for submissions to the Proceedings of SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.More info on submitting a manuscript can be found at the SPIE website underhttp://spie.org/app/Publications/index.cfm?fuseaction=authinfo&type=proceedings. 3.39 REVTeX MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex209/contrib/revtex/ MM Notes: This class, which used the REVTeX 3 class, has been superseded by the revtex4 class, so you should use that instead. (Old revtex class documents should be pretty easy to change to the new class.) If you have to use this class for some reason, you should use the file revtex.cls from the tex/ subdirectory of LyX source distribution. 3.40 REVTeX 4 MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/revtex/ MM Notes: REVTeX 4 is a class used for submitting manuscripts to journals including APS (Physical Review A-E and Letters, Reviews in Modern Physics, Special Topics---Accelerators and Beams), the American Institute of Physics, the Optical Society of America, and the Society for Exploration Geophysicists.

It is rather minimalist, but has nice features like bibliography support (useful for academics). This is a repackaging of the cv class that has been available with LyX for a long time. The change of name has been made necessary by the existence of another cv class on CTAN. An example curriculum vitae created using this document class can be found in the examples. 3.43 Springer Unspecific Journal MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/springer/svjour/global MM WWW: http://www.springeronline.com MM Notes: Svglobal is a format suitable for publication in a Springer journal for which a specific style is not provided; i. g., if the journal author guidelines at the above Springer site suggest using the svglobal style. The corresponding documentclass files and associated material can be found on the Springer site. The layout consists of two parts: svjour.inc (which is generic for all Springer journals) and svglobal.layout, which includes svjour.inc and is the default style for any Springer Journal without any specific style. You can write your own sv<journal>.layout to support any other Springer journals (hint, hint!). Note that you need to specify the global extra documentclass option which is included in the class defaults. 3.44 Springer Journal of Geodesy MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/springer/svjour/jog MM WWW: http://www.springeronline.com MM Notes: svjog is for the journal formats used by Springer Verlag, in particular that of Journal of Geodesy.

MM WWW: http://www.tug.org 3.49 International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing MM Found MM CTAN: N/A MM Notes: isprs can be used for writing articles for this Society's journals. MM WWW: http://www.photogrammetry.ethz.ch/tarasp_workshop/isprs.cls 4 Required packages This section contains packages which have been declared as required by the LaTeX maintainers. You should really consider upgrading your LaTeX setup if one of them is not detected. 4.1 array MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/tools/ MM Notes: The package array is needed by LyX to be able to output vertical alignment other then ''top'' for tabulars. 4.2 babel MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/babel/ MM Notes: The package babel allows you to customize your document for your favorite language (see the Document->Settings...->Language popup). In particular, it handles hyphenation and automatic translation of all labels like Chapter and Table of contents. This package is not needed if you only plan to write in English, except if you want to use non-English quotes. Your LaTeX installation has hyphenation patterns for the following languages: . If a language you use is not on this list, you should reconfigure your LaTeX installation to include it. For teTeX, this means running texconfig. 4.3 bm MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/tools/ MM Notes: The bm package defines commands to access bold math symbols. The basic command is \bm which makes its argument bold. The argument may be any math object from a single symbol to an expression. If available, ultra bold fonts can be accesed through the \hm command (aliased to \heavysymbol). The \bm command is similar to the amsmath \boldsymbol command, but the bm version is rather more careful in the way it does things. Be aware that this package allocates symbol fonts for bold fonts into the normal math version, such that, when using other packages that allocate many symbol fonts, they can be exhausted. In this case, one can make do with the \boldsymbol command. 4.4 booktabs MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/booktabs/ MM Notes: The package booktabs is needed by LyX to be able to output correctly formal tables. 4.5 color MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics/ MM Notes: The package color is needed by LyX to handle colored text. These colors will not show in the DVI preview window, but will be correct on the printed output or with a PostScript previewer. This package is bundled with the graphics package. 4.6 graphicx MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics/ MM Notes: The package graphicx is needed by LyX to insert PostScript figures (using the new graphics inset). You will also need ghostscript to see them on screen. 4.7 hyperref MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/ MM Notes: The package hyperref is needed by LyX to be able to set PDF properties for your document and to create hyperlinks. 4.8 longtable MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/tools/ MM Notes: The package longtable is needed by LyX to be able to output correctly multipage tables. 4.9 amstext MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/ MM Notes: The package amstext is needed by LyX to correctly size unicode symbols used as super or subscripts in math. MM 4.10 textcomp MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/unpacked/textcomp.sty MM Notes: The package textcomp is needed by LyX to output some special symbols like the EURO currency sign. The package is part of the LaTeX base distribution and should already be installed on your system. 4.11 varioref MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/tools/ MM Notes: The package varioref introduces some commands to generate references with an information about the page of the referred label. 5 Paper layout packages Changing the margins of a document is one thing people like to do. While LaTeX offers built-in options to set the margins of the documents, some people feel that these margins are too large and want to set them up differently. You can use the package geometry for this purpose, but note that for the sake of readability, your lines should not contain more than 60-70 characters. 5.1 geometry MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/geometry/ MM Notes: The package geometry allows to change the paper size and margins of your document in an arbitrary way. It does not provide a typographically correct page layout like a4 or the standard options, though. 6 Packages required by modules 6.1 endnotes MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/misc/endnotes.sty MM Notes: The package endnotes is needed by several modules to place footnotes at the end of sections, that are then so called endnotes. 6.2 Linguistics module 6.2.1 covington MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/covington/ MM Notes: The package covington provides some environments and commands useful for linguistics, such as numbered examples and glosses. 6.2.2 csquotes MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/csquotes/ MM Notes: The package csquotes provides context-sensitive quotation marks that adapt to the conventions of the actual document language. It is used by the Linguistics module for the character style Meaning. 6.2.3 enumitem MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/ MM Notes: The package enumitem provides many possibilities to tweak the appaerance of lists (enumerate, itemize, description). It is used by the Linguistics module to fine tune the appearance of numbered subexamples. 6.3 Braille module 6.3.1 braille MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/braille/ MM Notes: The package braille makes it possible to typeset Braille, a character system for blind people. 7 Other packages 7.1 accents MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/bezos/ MM Notes: The package accents is needed by LyX to correctly typeset unicode symbols with under accents in math. 7.2 algorithm MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/algorithms/ MM Notes: The package algorithm is needed by LyX to be able to output algorithm floats. These are useful in placing short algorithms across pagebreaks and support an index of algorithms too. 7.3 bibtopic MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/bibtopic/ MM Notes: The package bibtopic is used to split BibTeX created bibliographies into sections. 7.4 CJKutf8 MM Found: MM CTAN: language/chinese/CJK/ MM Notes: The package CJKutf8 (part of the CJK bundle) merges base LaTeX's and CJK's UTF-8 support. It is needed to produce proper output with the combination of CJK, utf-8 encoding, and hyperref. 7.5 dvipost MM Found: MM URL: http://freshmeat.net/projects/dvipost/ MM Notes: dvipost is a post-processor for DVI files created by LaTeX and TeX. It is needed by LyX to generate DVI or Postscript output of change tracking marks. To work properly, dvipost needs teTeX version 2 or newer. 7.6 esint MM Found: MM CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/esint/ MM Notes: The package esint is used to typeset mathematical integral signs. The most commonly used integral signs can be typeset without this package, but they do not always look consistent, since they come from different fonts.
