With a new installation of TeXLive2024 there should have been no issues and no failures updating fmtutil. Sigh, Rich Rich, I'd never heard of ptex before. Uncle Google says it's used to publish in Japanese. I take it that's what you are trying to do? This is way deeper in the TeX weeds than I've ever burrowed. Maybe someone familiar with the intersection of LaTeX and Japanese can help. Paul -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Thanks, Rich Rich, In order to try to compile the doc, LyX has to write a .tex file someplace, and that someplace has to be the "tempbuf" directory. As long as you don't close LyX (and barring a rift in the space-time continuum), that buffer directory and its contents should stay put. To see a bit more about what's going on, try running "lyx -dbg files" in a terminal. It will tell you where it's parking things and what names it's giving them. I tried this with one of your mwe.lyx files and encountered something surprising. The file loaded into LyX without any major complaints. (There was a message "Bibinfo cache was invalid", which probably does not amount to anything.) When I tried to compile it, I got an export error message related to the infamous 0xfffc character. The TeX file (mwe.tex) was written to the buffer directory, but there was no LaTeX log file because LyX never reached the point of running pdflatex (or whatever), since the export was flagged as incorrect. Clicking "View Complete Log..." in the error message pane caused LyX to calculate a name and location for the log file but not to create one (because, again, it didn't compile the file, hence no log). Changing the document encoding to "Unicode (utf8)" and compiling produced a log file and a bunch of auxiliary files in the buffer directory. So not finding a log file is probably due to the export error blocking compilation. Not find the buffer directory is likely due to interference by extraterrestrials.

I upgraded through Homebrew using the basictex cask and had not problems. For some or other reason I have never really figured out how to pass the $SELFAUTOPARENT variable to the environment, but a perl script modifying TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texlive/texmf-local to TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local works as well.
