To Ronald:
Looks like the LyXServer pipe is properly configured by the LyX/Mac install. Did you not trash an old version of Start-LyX from a previous installation of LyX on Aqua before installing LyX/Mac?
As a workaround for that possibility, try saving your Preferences in LyX. (Older versions of Start-LyX only read your own Preferences; newer versions read system-wide Preferences as well.)
I had no previous installation of LyX on Aqua before installing LyX/Mac.
I remember also that the first time I installed "LyX/Mac", I quit my session and opened it, but I did not reboot my PowerBook. I did reboot for the next re-installations of "LyX/Mac".
Also, I had a "lyx" package installed from the "Fink Commander" interface. I deleted it using the "Fink Commander" interface, but I am pretty sure that I did delete it after having installed "LyX/Mac" for the first time. Then, after deleting "lyx", I trashed "LyX" and "Start-LyX" before reinstalling both of them, and I got the same misbehaviour.

Hello,
I just installed the LyX/Mac binary package on my PowerBook, from the "http://www.18james.com/lyx_on_aqua.html"; web page. Almost everything works properly, except the following.
When I try to open a LyX file by double clicking on its icon in the Finder or through a "Drag and drop" of its icon onto the "Start-LyX" application, I get the AppleScript error: "You need to setup the LyXServer pipe in LyX > Preferences > Paths.". In this menu I see as path "/Users/gosset/.lyx/.lyxpipe". This file does not exist. The "ls -la /Users/gosset/.lyx/.lyx*" command gives me the following answer, with two empty files but none with the right name:
prw------- 1 gosset staff 0 Sep 18 17:30 .lyxpipe.in prw------- 1 gosset staff 0 Sep 18 17:30 .lyxpipe.out
These _are_ the correct names of the input and output pipes. At least, they
correspond to the entry in the Preferences dialog.
What should I do?
See if lyx responds to input through them. Type the stuff below at the command line to open up a file within lyx.
$ FILE="path/to/you/file.lyx" $ lyx -dbg lyxserver& $ echo "LYXSRV:jean:hello" > ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.in $ echo "LYXCMD:jean:file-open $FILE > ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.in

I tried the following:

[dphmcl:~] gosset% /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/LyX -dbg lyxserver & [2] 454
