LaTeX Error: File `../*.sty' not found

I downloaded a Lyx template that uses the style called classicthesis. The file was installed from the 'package manager' as an admin and the classicthesis.sty file is located in the same folder as my lyx document. However, I still get the error:

LaTeX Error: File `../classicthesis.sty' not found

when printing to PDF. Any ideas on how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance!

Problem solved. Simply needed to change .. /*sty to ./*sty to use the file in the local folder and not seach in the parent folder

Sam Carter already answered the question:

../classicthesis.sty means latex searches in the parent folder for the sty file. to fix this you have two possibilities:

if classicthesis.sty is located in the same folder as your document, change ../classicthesis.sty to ./classicthesis.sty

move classicthesis.sty to the folder above your document.

The page you are linking to contains 3 different downloads at the moment. The issue canot be reproduced with the default template.
