Kindly LyX folk,

So, unable to resist the siren call of the latest and greatest software, I
just installed OS X 10.11 Beta and, as has happened in the past in similar
situations, it broke LyX such that it couldn't find any .cls files or
fonts. Fortunately, also as in the past, the fix was to start LyX from the
command line and select Tools -> Reconfigure, and then restart LyX as
usual. However, I'm still having a problem — I'm unable to preview. I'm
editing a file called "Florianopolis.lyx" and I get the message


/var/folders/t5/fp07n4n507d_ymgd5syhywhw0000gn/T/lyx_tmpdir.fIZQQyjm4829/lyx_tmpbuf0/Florianopolis.pdf


Going into that dir, I do see there is only Forianopolis.tex, no pdf. If I
compile the .tex file, I don't get the error message anymore but that file
remains static — editing Florianopolis.lyx and trying to update the preview
has no effect; the old PDF is not replaced by a new one reflecting the
edits to the LyX source file. I've tried removing the LyX tmp folders so
they'd be recreated, which they were upon a restgart, but they are empty,
and attempting to preview once again brings up the above error message.


Ideas, solutions, suggestions (other than "Don't install beta software!"
:-) appreciated.
