 Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2004 6:07 am Post subject: [SOLVED] LyX and the Memoir Class |
 |
|
I cannot seem to be able to get the Memoir Class working with LyX.
I *believe* I have it installed correctly... though, admittedly, I am not familiar enough with TeX / LaTeX to be able to verify that it is installed correctly.
Essentially, after having installed the Memoir Class, LyX continues to list (under "Layout > Document...") it as "Unavailable: Memoir" and I do not have the regular export options (such as PDF), only ASCII and Custom.
To ensure this is not a user error... or rather to diagnose it as such, as it probably is; I installed the memoir class like so:
1. Download all memoir files from CTAN:
| Code: |
README 25-May-2004 18:23 9k
memhfixc.sty 25-May-2004 18:22 6k
memman.ist 05-Feb-2004 21:36 1k
memman.pdf 05-Feb-2004 21:37 1.8M
memman.tex 09-Feb-2004 20:26 685k
memoir.dtx 07-Apr-2004 23:12 756k
memoir.ins 05-Feb-2004 21:43 3k
mempatch.sty 25-May-2004 18:22 4k
|
and placed it into
| Code: |
/usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/
|
2. As per the README file and a Gentoo forum thread, I entered the following:
| Code: |
# cd /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/
# latex memoir.ins
# latex memoir.dtx
# latex memoir.dtx
# latex memoir.dtx
# mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/memoir/
# cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/memoir/
# cp /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/*.sty .
# cp /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/*.cls .
# cp /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/*.clo .
# mkdir /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/memoir/
# cd /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/memoir/
# cp /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/*.pdf .
# cp /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/*.dvi .
# cp /usr/share/texmf/source/memoir/*.tex .
# mktexlsr

I do not get any obvious error messages at any point. You might be wondering about being run 3 times--even on the second time it output a warning asking that latex be rerun (on the third time it was fine though).
In LyX, by going to "View > TeX Information", memoir.cls is listed under "LaTeX Classes". Still, when I go to "Layout > Document...", under "Document Class", the only listing for memoir I get is still "Unavailable: Memoir".
I would appreciate any help!!
