Hello, I have used lyx on other distos with no problems, but I am having problems getting lyx configured on ArchLinux.
Name : lyx Version : 2.0.1-2 Name : texlive-core (texlive-most) Version : 2011.23170-1 I followed the instructions on "http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/LaTeXErrors#file-not-found"; $ kpsewhich article.cls /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls I ran reconfigure from the tools menu, restarted and opened ".../examples/splash.lyx". But lyx still fails to configure properly. This is redacted output: [code] LyX: reconfiguring user directory checking for a Latex2e program... +checking for "latex"... yes checking for a DVI postprocessing program... +checking for "pplatex"... no checking for pLaTeX, the Japanese LaTeX... +checking for "platex"... yes kpathsea: Running mktexfmt platex.fmt Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e) [...] done checking LaTeX configuration... default values +checking list of textclasses... done LyX: Done!
