Hello again and thanks so far,
the installer I got from http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Mac is for Mac OS 10.2 or later, so that should not be the problem.
The log-file reads:
Tue Oct 12 10:47:41 CEST 2004
Found TeXbin directory: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
Found installation directory: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local
Cannot install Srcltx files.
The error message is (translated) "There were errors when installing" and "Please try again later".
Maybe the logfile is helpful?
thanks, Henning

Hello,
I'm new to the LaTeX-world and wanted to ask for some help with a problem installing LyX for Mac OS X (10.2.8). I have already a working teTex installation and tried Texshop, which worked fine. Now I wanted to have a look at LyX. But when running the LyX-installer it stops saying "There is an error, please try again" (something like that, but in German).
It would be nice if someone could give me a hint.
The installer writes to a log file in /tmp. You can access it from the Finder by typing "<cmd><shift>g", and then typing "/tmp" in the dialog that pops up. Then open lyx-install.log with any text editor and copy the contents into an e-mail to us. That should help diagnose the problem.
