Re: reLyx (importing LaTeX files) bug in LyX on Aqua

[Horner Lenore]

Is that also causing LyX to export damaged LaTeX files.  I can't get 
Excalibur to open an exported file.  There's nothing obviously (to my 
eyes) wrong with the file.  Even cutting and pasting all the text into 
a new document won't create a document Excalibur can open.  Not only is 
it inconvenient, I'm wondering what this says about the validity of 
exported files in general.

Or maybe there's something really screwed up about that folder b/c if I 
double-click on the LyX version of the file, it attempts to open it, 
but then says it can't (Start-LyX starts).

workaround.  In a terminal, do:
   % [ -d /usr/local/share/lyx ] || sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/lyx
   % sudo cp -pR /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/reLyX 
/usr/local/share/lyx
   % sudo cp -pR /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/LyX/layouts 
/usr/local/share/lyx

Sorry for the inconvenience.

(Technical explanation for the curious: Jean-Marc and I thought we had
fixed reLyX to search for data dirs inside the application bundle; I
unfortunately tested those patches on a system that also had those
dirs in /usr/local/share/lyx.)
