LyX/Mac Installation FAQ

2003-10-13 Thread Ronald Florence 
  LyX/Mac installation is normally trouble-free if you follow the
  steps in the installer ReadMe.  The few installation problems that
  have been reported were resolved by one of the following steps:

  - If the LyX/Mac package won't install, run Applications -
Utilities - Disk Utility to fix the ownership and permissions on
your disk, then run the LyX/Mac installer again.  If you are
upgrading an early installation of LyX on Aqua, trash the LyX and
Start-LyX applications before installing LyX/Mac.

  - If LyX/Mac installs but the preview options don't show up in the
toolbar under View or don't work:

a) Check that you have a working teTeX implementation, that you
   logged out and logged in again after installing LyX/Mac, and
   that you ran LyX - Edit - Reconfigure after starting LyX.

b) If you had a ~/.lyx/preferences file from a previous
   installation of another version of LyX, either delete it or
   make sure the entries for viewers do not override the LyX/Mac
   defaults.

c) If you had a bad ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file before
   installing LyX/Mac, the installer may not be able to fix it.
   Either delete the file and run the LyX/Mac installer again, or
   check http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html to
   make sure the file is a valid plist.  You need to log out and
   log in again after making changes to this file.
