Did you also check, whether they are found by LaTeX (e.g. running a minimal latex document "by hand" or with kpseawich <the package>? > lyx shows the latex classes > and styles I need in the tex information.

Where are your layout files stored? With most Unix-based systems, private layouts and modules should be in ~/.lyx/layouts (Help>About shows the LYXDIR). > Such as chess still shows up as unavailable.

LyX only supports a (compared to CTAN) small subset of popular LaTeX classes and packages. Rule of thumb: * if it is grey in the class selection drop-down box, the latex class is missing (or not found). * if it does not turn up in the menus, the LyX layout (or module) is missing (or not found). > I have used the wiki to add apae6.layout.

Writing a script for generating LyX layouts (or layout templates) might be a task worth considering. I don't know of an existing solution, though. Günter
