I just installed Lyx 1.4.1 for Mac OS X, having previously used

problems:
i) Lyx 1.4.1 is configured to use reLyx rather than tex2lyx. How do
I configure it to use tex2lyx ? I thought tex2lyx was included
automatically in version 1.4.1
ii) I went ahead and tried to use the import latex feature as
configured and I got the error message:
An error occurred whilst running reLyx -f "paper137.tex"
The last part is just the latex file I was attempting to convert.
I have previously used the import latex feature in 1.3.7 successfully.
You probably have reLyX defined in your preferences file as the LaTeX
-> LyX converter. (You must have messed around with settings in LyX
1.3.7, and LyX 1.4 doesn't revert what you've changed back to the
defaults, even if those defaults have changed.)
Solution should be to redefine the converter. You can do it from
within LyX's preferences dialog (LyX -> Preferences), but then you'll
have your customized version once again rather than LyX's defaults
(which might give you troubles with future upgrades). Perhaps better
would be to quit LyX, navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/
LyX-1.4, and open the preferences file you find there in a standard
text editor (such as TextEdit). Look near the bottom of that file
under the "CONVERTERS SECTION", where you should find a line that
begins:
\converter "latex" "lyx" ...
Delete that line, save the preferences, and restart LyX.
Does that work?
