i read the discussion about the problems in previewing with lyx and mac osx. Although I think I really followed the instructions (first installing a teTex base, which I did with the wonderful i-installer, then get the other packages ghostscript 8, cm super, freetype 2, libwmv and iconv conversion support, ImageMagick and then finally the lyx installation), I'm not able to manage to get the preview work. Any ideas out there of what to do?
I can't determine from your message whether ordinary previews of LyX documents in pdf or other formats fail, or whether it is the latex-preview of math in LyX that is failing.
If it is the former, try running
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/LyX -dbg latex
in a terminal; you may need to change the command if you installed LyX/Mac somewhere other than the Applications folder. The debugging output will show the LaTeX generation/execution.
If latex-previews of math n LyX fail, did you run (double-click) LyX-Setup in the installation bundle?
