Hi all,
I'm using MacBook box that is acting as workbench for a number of TeX
distributions. I've also started LyX on the same box.
Please, how do I set up which LaTex distribution will be used by LyX?
Thanks!
By default LyX will pick up the distribution whose binary directory is
listed (first) in your PATH environment variable. You can override this
in LyX (works for me, anyway) by going to LyX -> Preferences -> Paths.
In the "PATH prefix:" field make the directory containing the binaries
of the distribution of your choice the first entry in the list, e.g.,
"/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin" or
"/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current". Be sure it is
separated from the following entry by a colon.
Thanks, Chris,
It works for my as well.
The same seems to be truth for other front-ends like TeXShop and
iTeXMac2. The PATH environment variable content an alias pointing to
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin and both are using this
distribution. It seems the installation programme did the trick and as
it has been the last installed distro, al calls to the TeX system are
passed to texlive.
