Paul,
looks like your python isn't being recognized, even though it
evidently exists. Under factory conditions, there is a python in /
usr/
bin/python, but you probably installed another one (maybe MacPython).
Hopefully this /usr/local/bin/python of yours is functional. Assuming
it is, you could try the following command before invoking the LyX
Install script:
defaults write ~/.MacOSX/environment PATH $PATH
This didn't work, maybe because I had a broken link in /usr/bin/python
pointing to a non-existent link. When I got rid of the broken link and
created a link to the right location, I was able to get the
installer to
run. I did get a red x next to preview, indicating that the right
preview is not working?
At any rate, I now have a working version of LyX. Thanks!

Hi,
glad to hear it works - although the python issue is a bit mysterious...
Just for completeness: I forgot to mention that the "defaults"
command (which writes a file called .MacOSX/environment.plist) takes
effect only after logging out and back in again. But that really only
helps if you have set your path to point to a working python, and
somehow you apparently have that now.
