SOLVED: LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem

[Kerensa McElroy]

Hi everyone,

yes, I did see this 
thread,http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg84463.html, to no 
avail originally,
however it jogged me into working out a solution now that I've read it again!

Here is the complete instructions to solving this problem, for anyone who needs 
them:

1. change into directory /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin
2. type sudo ./texhash (and enter password)
3. open lyx, go to LyXPreferencesPaths PATH Prefix. Remove whatever else is 
there and replace with  /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. Save.
4. Go to LyX Reconfigure.
5. Close LyX and open it again.

Kerensa.

This looks to me like a workaround for a botched MacTeX installation.
Take a look at:

http://www.tug.org/mactex/2010/What_Is_Installed.pdf

You should have a softlink at /usr/texbin that points to
/usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. If not, then something
went wrong, and I'd wonder whether you might encounter other problems
down the road.

I'd suggest checking to see that everything was installed where that
document says it should be, and then opening System Preferences,
clicking on the TeX Distribution button at the bottom, and ensuring
that TeXLive-2010 is selected. If that creates the /usr/texbin
softlink, then you should use that in LyX -- restoring the original
list for PATH Prefix in LyX's preferences. If not, when you upgrade to
MacTeX-2011, LyX won't know how to find it.

hmm.  No /usr/texbin softlink. And no tex installations at all listed in system 
preferences. 

So, I repeated the installation for MacTeX2010, exactly as it says to. Same 
problem.

Any suggestions?
