Hi, I have installed Lyx/Mac osX, and I have already had tetex.
However,
lyx does not seem to generate any output through view --> dvi or any
other
options.
I tried to change the settings in the preferences dialog for
outputfile-->
viewer with different applications, but still no change.
I tried to reconfigure lyx under edit panel. but when i launch the Lyx
afterthat it looses all the document clases and no output is available.
can anybody help?.
p.s latex works fine under texshop.
First problem: If you have a default viewer for .dvi files specified in
OS X, then it should be enough to set Preferences > File formats > DVI
> Viewer to "open". If that doesn't work, try exporting to DVI (File >
Export > DVI), and a .dvi file should appear in the same directory as
the file you're currently working on. (If not, then we'll have to
investigate separately....) From the Finder, select the .dvi file, and
choose File > Get Info ... Make sure some appropriate application is
selected under the "Open with" section of the Info dialog -- and make
sure it's selected as the default application (by clicking on the
"Change All..." button). That should do the trick, provided you've made
LyX's DVI viewer be "open" as specified above.
Does that work?
Second problem: Losing all document classes. Apparently (for reasons
that aren't clear to me but which I can't debug w/o 10.4), users of
10.4 need to reconfigure and restart twice in succession for LyX to
find everything it needs to. ... At least that seems to be the case in
other circumstances, and I wonder if it is so in yours.
