\layout Standard
This file describes both the different LaTeX add-ons that LyX can handle
and different external programs that LyX can interact with.
Below you'll find the following sections:
\layout Enumerate
Some basic details about your LaTeX installation.
In particular, you should make sure that your version of LaTeX is recent
enough.
\layout Enumerate
Some common fonts that LyX knows about.
This is rather sparse at the moment.
\layout Enumerate
The document classes that should be standard on any LaTeX implementation.
This section is only here for completeness.
\layout Enumerate
Some optional document classes that LyX knows about.
If one of these is marked as missing (the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Found
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
item is no) and you need its functionality, you can grab it at your nearest
CTAN ftp site
\begin_float footnote
\layout Standard
The participating hosts in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network are:
\layout LyX-Code
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive
\layout LyX-Code
ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive
\layout LyX-Code
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive
\layout Standard
There are also a zillion mirror sites which are listed at the three primary
sites.
\end_float
at the location indicated in the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
CTAN
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
item.
Note that only detected document classes can be selected as document layouts
in LyX.
\layout Enumerate
Some packages that LyX use when you try to change the margins of your document.
The detection of these items does not yet affect the options available
inside LyX.
\layout Enumerate
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.
\layout Enumerate
Different required external programs that LyX relies on.
LyX to a large extent relies on other programs to do it's work, and some
programs are required for LyX to be useful.
\layout Enumerate
Different optional external programs that LyX can interact with.
All of these are optional, and some you would want more than others.
\layout Standard
Note that most of these packages will be available if you use a modern TeX
distribution such as teTeX.
If you decide to install one of the missing items, you should tell LyX
about it.
After the installation, please use the menu entry
\family sans
\bar under
O
\bar default
ptions\SpecialChar \menuseparator
\bar under
R
\bar default
econfigure
\begin_float footnote
\layout Standard
or, if you want to change the system-wide settings, issue the command
\family typewriter
./configure
\family default
from the LyX system directory (by default
\family typewriter
/usr/local/lib/lyx/
\family default
)
\end_float
and reload this file to see if the new package was recognized.
If the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Found
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
items read
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
???
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, it means that LyX could not do the inventory of your LaTeX configuration
for some reason.
If you are using teTeX, it might be that the new package you installed
is not found.
This is because you forgot to run the command
\family typewriter
texhash
\family default
, which tells teTeX to update its own configuration.
\layout Section
LaTeX version currently in use
\layout Standard
The LaTeX version that LyX will use is:
\family typewriter
@chk_fmtversion@
\family default
.
Note that, for best results, you should be using at least LaTeX release
\family typewriter
1995/12/01
\begin_float footnote
\layout Standard
In case it is not clear to you, this number is the date at which the version
has been released.
\end_float
.
In fact, earlier versions may work for many things, but will certainly
fail in some cases.
We feel that it is better to stick to a minimal version than try to work
around all the quirks of older ones.

\layout Description
Notes: LaTeX does not require the use of

\family default
fonts, however they are strongly recommended.
The

on and kerning than the old fonts such as

.
If you already have the so-called

Paper layout packages

some people feel that these margins are too large and want to set them
up differently.

should not contain more than 60-70 characters.

Required external programs
\layout Standard
LyX is eager to invoke external programs to do some work.
In line with the Unix tradition, LyX tries to exploit existing programs
before implementing the same thing itself.
Over time, LyX is able to interact with an increasing number of both command
line and interactive applications, and this to a large degree explains
why LyX is succesful.
\layout Standard
Note: if you use a Linux distribution, such as RedHat or Debian, most of
these packages should be available as custom packages for the relevant
system, and you might have most of it installed already.
And most Unix systems will at least have LaTeX, although it may be a braindead
version.
Please check what you have before you go download the lot.
