Does the solution here work? http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/203810/lyx-2-x-document-class-not-available-mac-os-x-10-10-yosemite-pb-3 > > I have been in touch with Herb Schulz at MacTex and he concluded that > everything was running fine on the MacTex-end on my computer. > He came with the following suggestion: > > "From some discussions on the TeXworks list it appears that TeXworks has been > struck by a bug in Yosemite that passes the incorrect PATH value to > sub-processes.
