Searching the archives I see lots of problems associated with this, but
nothing that seems to point to an answer for me.
I'm working hard at being a brand-new user, but I'm still a
user-wannabe, because things ain't working! I'm using Ubuntu 9.10,
brand shiny new installation of Lyx. I try to create a document from a
template (any template, but I'll use latex8 as an example) and I get the
following:
The layout file requested by this document,
latex8.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.
I tried reconfigure -- no luck.
I tried running texhash -- no luck.
I verified that /usr/share/lyx/layouts is there, and that it has
latex8.layout (and all the others that didn't work) in it.
Clues for the clueless?
Thanks.
