The point is that you can read it when looking for it in the message window. That's currently not possible, the error messages are lost. Here on Mac if I start LyX the stdin, stdout and stderr are redirected on startup. If I remove the os::is_terminal(os::STDERR) test the output becomes visible. Another story is to show the errors in the alert popup. This can be improved too. Stephan
