I finally managed to get xfree86 and Lyx compiled and running rootless in
MacOSX/Darwin. And Lyx runs, but I have run into one major problem --
lyx cannot seem to locate the latex/pdflatex that is installed. I have a
standard teTeX distribution installed, and other TeX programs (e.g.
TeXShop) seem to see it fine. However, in the preferences panel in Lyx
under Converters, there is no command specified for Lyx->DVI or Lyx->PDF.
Running reconfigure from the edit menu results in:
checking for a LaTeX2e program... (latex latex2e)
+checking for "latex"... not useable
+checking for "latex2e"... not useable
checking for the pdflatex program... (pdflatex)
+checking for "pdflatex"... not useable
checking for a LaTeX -> LyX converter... (reLyX)
+checking for "reLyX"... yes
..
checking for a DVI previewer... (xdvi)
+checking for "xdvi"... no
..
So, I am guessing that for some reason Lyx is not seeing the teTeX
installation. Is there any way to force the search path on Lyx? How
does one fix this?
Apologies if this is a really novice question, but it's been years since
I got anywhere near Unix.
Thanks.
