That´s the way it looks like: Yes -- everything under texmf is for TeX/BibTeX/LaTeX. I suspect what confused you was the presence of the "lyx" folder in ~/Library/texmf/latex. That is not your lyx user's directory (which is at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6) but is rather a directory the LyX Installer creates for its own latex styles and classes. You should not put anything in that directory, as it may get overwritten by future versions of the installer. Bennett
