LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem
Hi, I'm trying to get LyX up and running on my system (Mac OS X 10.6.2) for the first time. I've installed MacTeX2010 without a problem. Then when I try and install Lyx, I get the following problem: 1. Removing obsolete files ... Done removing obsolete files. 2. Testing to see if old LyX user's folder should be moved to new location ... Done moving LyX user's directory to new location. 3. (No preferences file found at ~/Library/'Application Support'/LyX-1.6/.) 4. Installing default LyX templates ... Done installing default LyX templates. 5. Installing LyX's special LaTeX files • Found TeX installation at . • Local TeX directory set to ~/Library/texmf. • Installed LyX's additional LaTeX .cls and .sty files. *** ERROR: Cannot run texhash command. Please run manually. ... Done. After, all my classes are 'unavailable'. Also, when i try and run sudo texhash from terminal, it simply says 'command not found'. I've trawled the web for a solution to this problem. It looks like a lot of other people have come across this. However, none of the suggested solutions are working for me. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Kerensa.
SOLVED: LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem
Hi everyone, yes, I did see this thread,http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg84463.html, to no avail originally, however it jogged me into working out a solution now that I've read it again! Here is the complete instructions to solving this problem, for anyone who needs them: 1. change into directory /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin 2. type sudo ./texhash (and enter password) 3. open lyx, go to LyXPreferencesPaths PATH Prefix. Remove whatever else is there and replace with /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. Save. 4. Go to LyX Reconfigure. 5. Close LyX and open it again. Kerensa.
Re: SOLVED: LyX-Mac-1.6 and MacTeX2010 installation problem
hmm. No /usr/texbin softlink. And no tex installations at all listed in system preferences. So, I repeated the installation for MacTeX2010, exactly as it says to. Same problem. Any suggestions?

This looks to me like a workaround for a botched MacTeX installation. Take a look at: http://www.tug.org/mactex/2010/What_Is_Installed.pdf You should have a softlink at /usr/texbin that points to /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. If not, then something went wrong, and I'd wonder whether you might encounter other problems down the road. I'd suggest checking to see that everything was installed where that document says it should be, and then opening System Preferences, clicking on the TeX Distribution button at the bottom, and ensuring that TeXLive-2010 is selected. If that creates the /usr/texbin softlink, then you should use that in LyX -- restoring the original list for PATH Prefix in LyX's preferences. If not, when you upgrade to MacTeX-2011, LyX won't know how to find it. BH
