The PATH prefix in Preferences is /Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin also $ echo $PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Applications:/usr/local/ada/bin Parsing the PATH prefix from Preferences a little... On my system, I have a /Library/TeX/ *but there is no texbin in it*. However, it does contain this: /Library/TeX/.scripts /Library/TeX/Distributions /Library/TeX/Documentation /Library/TeX/Local -> symlink to /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local /Library/TeX/Root -> symlink to /usr/local/texlive/2013 which does contain a bin directory I have a /usr/texbin which is a symlink to /usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-darwin I have no /sw/ I have no /opt/local/teTeX/ I have stuff in the remaining paths on this list. If I remove /Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin: from the front of the PATH prefix and run Reconfigure, it runs in 15-20 seconds. The first time I saw a luatex instance in Activity Monitor but on subsequent runs it did not appear--I suppose it's possible that it ran so quickly that Activity Monitor did not have a chance to show it. This of course has no effect on running python -tt "/Applications/Words/LyXOuterFolder/LyX 2.2.0beta2/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py" --with-version-suffix=-2.2 --binary-dir="/Applications/Words/LyXOuterFolder/LyX 2.2.0beta2/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/" from a terminal session which still stays on +Indexing TeX files... for about 34 minutes.
