Re: Define a converter in the preferences
Thanks Bennett, I'm using the MacTeX-20071201 package that includes ImageMagick.Anyway, using i-Installer, I updated the ImageMagick package and reconfigured Lyx. Unfortunately the problem remains. Do you have any other suggestion? Gs 2008/3/7, Bennett Helm [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Mar 7, 2008, at 3:48 AM, spn.grl wrote: Hi, I'm a user of lyx 1.5.4 (Mac G4 computer under OSX 10.4.11).

Converter settings in LyX should be automatically set up. It looks like you need to install imageMagick -- via fink or macports. Then reconfigure LyX (LyX Reconfigure), relaunch LyX, and it should work. Bennett
