Hi,
I've just got myself a new MacBook Pro, which feautures the Intel
Core 2 CPUs. I had a PPC Mac before and transfered all data using
the Apple standard feature, i.e. connecting both machines with a
firewire cable during setup of the new machine and voila!,
everything's there. Both machines had OS X 10.4.8 installed.
Now there's something weird about Lyx. I updated to the version for
Intel-Macs, but Lyx has forgot about all the settings. It doesn't
find a single viewer, nor a single document class -- they're all
marked as "unavailable" in the Document Settings dialogue. It does
remember my documents, though.
I'm a little confused about this and don't know what to do. Do I
have to reinstall TeX?
Any hints would be highly appreciated.
If you haven't installed TeX on your new computer, you'll need to. As
far as I know, Apple's transfer program looks at standard Mac
directories only -- such as /Users and /Applications. Since TeX gets
installed elsewhere, it gets ignored.
That means you'll probably want to run the LyX installer again on
your new machine -- after you've installed TeX on it.
