InstallLatexConfigure

This pages has some tips about how you can configure latex to work with your lyx-installation.

The lyx installation contains a directory: share/lyx/tex that contains some files which might be needed by latex. In order to tell latex how to find these files, you can for instance set your environment variable $TEXINPUTS .

This examples assumes that you are using the shell bash and that lyx is installed in: /usr/local/share/lyx

   export TEXINPUTS=${TEXINPUTS:-:}:/usr/local/share/lyx/tex//   

if $TEXINPUTS wasn't set before, it will now contain:

   ::/usr/local/share/lyx/tex//  

If $TEXINPUTS contained /afs/md.kth.se/md/misc/hacks/grp/util/tex//: before, it will contain:

   /afs/md.kth.se/md/misc/hacks/grp/util/tex//::/usr/local/share/lyx/tex//  

afterwards.

I think the double colons :: means that latex uses its default paths...
