Dear Lyxers,
Yesterday I installed the new 1.5.3 binary for Mac on my MacBook Pro.
While running the installer, three errors showed up:
1) ERROR: Cannot install preview files
2) ERROR: Cannot install Srcltx files
3) Cannot install LyX's additonal LaTex.cls and .sty files
After thtat, the Installation reports says: No need to update TeX
installation.
My question is: As I don't have to update TeX installation... are
those
errors normal????
I updated the installer in an attempt to remove the requirement of an
administrator's password. Consequently, all these files are now
installed in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex. So the question is: why is
this change failing for you? -- Can you provide more details?
* Is this a first-time installation, or are you upgrading? If
upgrading, from which previous version of LyX?
* Do you have preview and srcltx folders in ~/Library/texmf/tex/
latex? If so, who owns these folders and accompanying files? (You?
root? some other user on your machine?)
* Are you installing LyX from an administrator's account?
* When you run the installer, can you generate a report and send it
to the list? (There's a button to do this at the end of the
installation procedure.)
