But doesn't the latest Bibdesk have now its own and better "Send To Lyx" support, and no need for the Script anymore? The Script would need updating also in the sense that it should use lyxclient (because now the script makes bibdesk freeze when the pipe is a stalled pipe). /Konrad

The problem is that the SendToLyx script has not been updated for LyX-1.6, and so it's not finding your .lyxpipe. I've send a note to Mark Reid, author of the script, to see if he'll post an updated version on his website. In the meantime, I'll see if I can have the LyX wiki updated with the new file as well.

That webpage is for earlier versions of LyX and Mac OS X. You should ignore it. You will need to delete /Users/jrennstich/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/.lyxpipe.in manually, though you won't find them in the GUI (since the Finder does not display any file whose name begins with ".". So you need to do it using the Terminal: rm /Users/jrennstich/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.6/.lyxpipe.in (Notice the "\ " between "Application" and "Support".) > Any help how to link Lyx and BibDesk successfully and help Lyx and BibDesk > identify my .bib libraries would be greatly appreciated. Just make sure you put your .bib libraries in the usual place: ~/Library/texmf/tex/bib. Then LaTeX (and LyX) can find them. Bennett
Lyx and BibDesk connection
I am new user to Lyx and I have been working on a Mac (10.5) with TeXShop and BibDesk successfully so far. I just updated to the latest Mac install for TeX and gave Lyx another try in v1.6 and want to do the switch. Here's my problem - whenever I try to send something from BibDesk to Lyx, I get the following error msg: Unable to open the LyX pipe at "/Users/jrennstich/Library/ Application Support/LyX-1.6/.lyxpipe.in" for writing. You should quit LyX and possibly remove the pipe manually if this error persists. The underlying system error code was 6 (Device not configured). I saw the post here http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Environment about changing the .MacOSX/environment.plist but I am simply not able to find the relevant files: neither the .lyxpipe.in, nor ~/.MacOSX/ environment.plist. Any help how to link Lyx and BibDesk successfully and help Lyx and BibDesk identify my .bib libraries would be greatly appreciated. I couldn't find that information in a search on here, my apologies, if this has been covered before :-( Needless to say, since I cannot find the lyxpipe.in nor the environment.plist, I am one of those sad Mac- users, who need a GUI and some guidance if that won't let me do the stuff I need to do... ;-) Thx, -Joachim
