I re-ran the installer. There is no dialog pop up after it asks about the template file and before the AppleScript error message. The only change is that "Install default LyX templates" gets checked. I don't even have this ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ folder. But I tried kpsewhich lyxchess.sty anyway. I got just prompt. So, I tried texhash, here is what I got appledediannao:~ wubiao$ texhash texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping... texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config: directory not writable.
