Hello all,
I am new to lyx and I had installed it via the Lyx wiki
directions on
my macbook. I installed MacTex to get the Latex files etc needed
to run
Lyx. Everything has been working great. Now I noticed another
method
of installing Latex on OSX, I-installer. I just did that and it
installed all kinds of Latex files and classes under the name
TeTex. On
the wiki it said to use I-installer(TeTex) first, then install Lyx, so
Lyx would see and use the I-installer(TeTex) files. How can I get Lyx
to see these new I-installer files without having to reinstall Lyx and
still keep my MacTex files. I dont know how different the two packages
are, and I have no clue about what files mean what, but Im trying to
learn.
Thanks
i-Installer recently changed the location of its TeX binaries to /usr/
texbin. All you need to do is to add "/usr/texbin:" to the beginning
of the PATH Prefix entry in LyX (LyX > Preferences > Paths > PATH
Prefix), reconfigure, and restart LyX. Then everything should work.
(I've just updated the wiki with a note to this effect. This issue
will be fixed in the next release of LyX.)
