Unable to use a package in Lyx that was installed in Miktex

Post by Ultrafox »

As the previous question was answered so quickly I'll try another newbie problem.
Previously I was told that by using the command

Code: Select all

\usepackage{bussproofs}
I can use the bussproofs.sty in LyX after I had installed it using MiKTeX. It worked. I also did this for some other packages and it worked as expected. But for this one it did not work:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... ofs/taylor

Its identifier in MiKTeX is proofs.
If I try using this with some appropriate code I get the error in LyX: "file proofs.sty not found" and the description "cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes" ?

What did I do wrong? I used the same command \usepackage{proofs}
and did all the steps (like reconfigured LyX).
When I look at the proof package in MiKTeX I see that it does not contain "proofs.sty". Is this the problem? If so, then what should I write instead of "\usepackage{proofs}" to use the macros in the package?

Thanks for any info.

Vista, LyX 2.0.5

Always look at the exact name of the .sty file, that's the one you should use when loading a package. In this case, it is prooftree.sty, not proofs. So, load it by the command:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{prooftree}
