kpsewhich is not found on Mac

2014-07-23 Thread Timothy Reaves 
I've just install TexLive  LyX on a new OS install; when I open any file in 
LyX (the help files) I get errors that class files are not found.  They are 
indeed on my machine.  Looking at the debug messages, I see:
sh: kpsewhich: command not found
However, the file is on my path:
[/Applications ] which kpsewhich
/usr/texbin/kpsewhich

So it seems that this is what is causing LyX to not be able to find the files.
Any ideas as to how to correct this?

Thanks.

We've seen a few PATH issues on Mac. Can you try starting LyX from the
terminal from which you found kpsewhich to be in the PATH? Does it
work then? If not, try again and reconfigure.
