Actually, of the three lyx files that were sent to me, two
view and print fine and the third gives the error "corrupt
file or format Preview doen't recognize" error" All three
files contain the mathematical constructs that cause
problems in the files I create or which came with the
installation.
Recommendations welcome.

description--

--is not quite accurate. I have lyx files (containing
lots of
mathematics) that were sent to me from another lyx user
and they view
and print just fine! If I insert a fraction in mathmode
into one of
these files that were sent to me, it still views and
prints fine, but if
I take that same fraction, copy it, and insert it into a
new file, I get
error messages when I try to view or print, in fact I
even get the red
ERROR box.
So, files which I created or which came with the
installation (like the
help files) have this math view/print problem, but files
on my machine
sent to me by another lyx user have no such problems.
What the heck is going on? Anyone have an idea?

Ronald Florence has been very helpful, and he suggested
that I read the
help files on the use of -dbg and then start lyx from
the command line
with the appropriate debug parameter.
But I'm a tabla rasa as far as unix is concerned. And
the LyX help files
say almost nothing about -dbg, unless I've missed a
section. And what is
the appropriate debug parameter? Can someone spell out
exactly what I
need to do to follow Ronald's suggestion? Do I do
whatever I do right
after I have gotten LyX to produce a print or preview
error message? I
do at least know how to get to the Terminal on the Mac,
and Ronald's
HOWTO LyX/Mac page says for debugging that I can start
LyX from the
command line with
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/LyX.
Thanks,
