Simply entering
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/opt/local/teTeX/ bin:
/sw/bin doesn't seem to do it.
Why? I just tested adding a non-existing directory to my path_prefix and LyX
still works.
OTOH it might be that 1.3.6 runs configure _before_ it reads the preferences
file :-( Can you check with lyx -dbg init?
As far as I can tell, nothing I enter into PATH prefix has any effect.
Also, as my other e-mail today indicates ("Problems with PATH for lyx-13x on MacOS X"), the problem seems to be more general than reading the preferences file and the configure script: it looks as though /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc. are not a part of PATH when LyX is run.
