I just installed Lyx, after wrestling with the installer for a bit. I don't know if the problem is the installer's or the package's, but:
I initially got errors in the installation because attempts to "cp .../previews/*" failed (no such directory). [That's from memory; I neglected to copy it down at the time].
I believe that the problem arises because I had a volume, containing the Applications directory where I wanted the app, whose name includes single quotes and spaces. Mathematica seems to have problems with this as well :-}.
I selected a different volume, and the install succeeded. No funky characters there :-}
I am not subscribed, so if there are any comments, please CC: me. I did a quick check of the archives, but found nothing related (by subject line).
Regards,
Justin
