You can find help in the Lyx User Guide under 3.8.2. Something like "print 
preview" I guess (I have the german version though).
There you can set up the dvi previewer (usually xdvi).
xdvi comes for example with the MacTeX distribution (TeX Live), maybe with the 
MacTeXtras.zip (then usually under /usr/texbin/xdvi).

Mac OSX Lyx: No XDVI?

2010-03-25 Thread john
Hi everyone

After years of using Linux, I was persuaded by my daughter to try her
hand-down Mac.
I installed all my usual goodies - C development system and, of course, LyX.

The LyX works fine, after I had got used to the Mac idiom of separate
windows for LyX and each opened document.
But ..
When I click on the View DVI button, LyX behaves as though I had hit the
View PDF document.
Is this expected behaviour?
Or do I have to find and install the OSX version of Xdvi?
