After having been running the (then) current LyX on several different
Linux distributions for since the late 1990's I have been running it in
production (my medical practice) since 2005 on Mac Minis, iMacs, MacPro,
almost every MacBook <= 13 inch since, including a 2021 Air M1, using
the (then) current (Mac)BasicTeX and can not recall any (major) issues,
even though there may have been some :-)-O
I switched from Fink to Homebrew many years ago and have not looked
back.
Currently I even install the LyX and BasicTeX "casks" from Homebrew,
which this week led to the update to the 2022 version of the
(Mac)BasicTeX.
I only noticed when LyX would not compile a document (due to missing
(front) packages). However, my upgrade script writes down a file of all
installed TeX packages prior to the brew upgrade run, so I fired up the
tmlgr on the command line and all was back in order after a few minutes.
That said, from the Crash Log this appears to be a 2020 AirBook, so my
advice is:
Upgrade that sucker to Monterrey.
Move away from Fink and get Homebrew
Then trash
/Applications/LyX.app
and from a terminal window do something like
tlmgr list --only-installed | awk '{gsub(/:/, ""); print $2}' \
> $HOME/Downloads/tl.$(date +%F).txt
brew install --cask basictex lyx iterm2
perl -i -p -e \
s+\$SELFAUTOPARENT/+/usr/local/texlive/+' \
/usr/local/texlive/2022basic/texmf.cnf
In a window opened from /Applications/iTerm2.app enter
tlmgr install $(cat $HOME/Downloads/tl.$(date +%F).txt)
and ignore the error at the end (caused by some packages already
installed).
If you are bothered by the Security and Privacy squealing
sudo spctl --master-disable

Hi
I usually run LyX on Ubuntu, but I gave a MacOS laptop a try, so I
downloaded it from https://www.lyx.org/Download#toc4
There are two binaries. Did you try both?
installed and started it.
The usually blocking message appeared (this is a 3rd pkg app) so I
gave permission to open it and it died unexpectedly.
Sorry for that, I’m afraid it’s not tested with Catalina. (I’m
running Mojave because of depending on 32-bit apps.)
