I did ln -s /opt/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python3 and had the same results _except_ for the _first_ time I tried to run with this link, the OS asked permission to access files in my Documents folder—this is normal these days when running a program for the first time, apparently a part

An alias is only evaluated by the shell, so you could always either ln -fs /opt/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python3 ln -fs /opt/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python and see if that works. There is a way of setting environment variables like PATH with launchctl so that Apps can

Thanks, el. Getting rid of macports for homebrew is not an option for me. In my profile file, I have this: alias python=/opt/local/bin/python3 which is macports. Does LyX see this? This alias points to Python 3.9.18. There is a utility to switch to other versions. I already have the command

Unload the macports python and install the XCode Command line tools which has Python 3.9.6 in /usr/bin/python3. If that works, perhaps even unload Macports and install Homebrew. If you have many packages installed, make a list. I use Homebrew including basictex (plus some addtional stuff) and

Works here, on Sonoma both Intel and Silicon, and Monterey (12.7.2). I would propose: rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.4 the double click on the LyX icon in /Applications, wait until it is finished. Quit normally and then double click on a .lyx file. greetings, el On 18/01/2024
