On the Mac (deduced from the icloud address)
find /Applications/LyX.app/ -name lyx2lyx -type f
tells us
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx
Try the complete path/file name on the old file and see what that says.
Looks a little like a TeX installation issue, just to be sure, you did
install TeX, right?
I use Homebrew, which has three versions ((annually) updated)
brew install mactex
brew install mactex-no-gui
brew install basictex
I use the latter, and apply a small modification to the default
TEXDIR=$(dirname $(kpsewhich texmf.cnf))
TEXPARENT=$(dirname $(dirname $(kpsewhich texmf.cnf)))
perl -i -p -e 's+\$SELFAUTOPARENT/+/$TEXPARENT/+' $TEXDIR/texmf.cnf
As I have multiple systems I can update the packages missing after an
update of basictex easily with something like
tlmgr install $(ssh -C USER@HOST tlmgr list --only-installed \
| awk '{gsub(":","",$2);print $2}'
and so don't need to have the complete installation.
I also like long error lines and do so something like this
brew install gsed
for i in error_line max_print_line half_error_line
do
gsed -i "/$i/d" $TEXDIR/texmf.cnf
done
cat >> $TEXDIR/texmf.cnf <<EOF
error_line=254
half_error_line=238
max_print_line=1000000
EOF
The EOF must be at the beginning of the line
