Hi

I just upgraded to Maverick and deleted my homebrew directory
installation, so I had to install all tools again.

Now I realized, that there is no real list of recommended packages /
programs available on the LyX site, i.e. I am particularly struggling
ewith the image conversion ones. I now installed

imagemagick

and I could not convert pdf to png.
I then installed ghostscript and reconfigured, and now it is working.

I think a list of additional programs on each platform to do certain
common tasks would be a very useful addition to the wiki - and
possibly even put it into the help file, as under Linux (Ubuntu) these
packages are in the "recommended" section of the package.

One could even add a message to the reconfigure dialog, stating that
the following suggested packages are missing, and that they are needed
for the following tasks.

Thanks,

Rainer
