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)
This is the problem. LyX thinks you do not have LaTeX installed. I know
we have seen this before, but I do not remember what the problem was.
Try having a look at the config.log file and see why LyX is choking. You
can also post it here. Perhaps someone else will remember....
