This is because the preferences file of 1.4.x has a slightly different format. You can start 1.3 with the -userdir switch (see the man page), and pdflatex will come back. > 2. my new version 1.4.3 did not import old lyx-files (the error message > was something like: your file was generated by an earlier version, > lyx2lyx failed to import ...) run lyx from a terminal window and show us the error message printed by lyx2lyx. Otherwise we cannot help. Georg
