The lyx application one can download from the LyX home page is not a PowerPC application. Did you get it from there? > > And I checked through some other applications and I do have Universal > applications that run successfully so that's not it. A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures. Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a 64 bit kernel. I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have Lion to check it. What's the output of the following command? % file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx I get this: % file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 Stephan
