Re: Lyx configuration on a Mac: problems
I'll confess that I've been using LyX on my Mac with no trouble, but something in your description struck me as similar to a difficulty I had a short time ago on my Linux box. The specific symptoms you cited were an inability to reconfigure and an inability to make PDF and DVI files. I saw these exact symptoms on my Linux box and someone on this mailing list suggested that one of my layout files was the problem. I found the problematic file, removed it, and have had no trouble since. You might look for this. You might also check the permissions on the layout files. If none of this seems to fix the problem, let us know what error messages it gives. --Jason Waskiewicz Bowman County Schools

Lyx configuration on a Mac: problems
SENDING AGAIN - APOLOGIES FOR THE MISTAKE Dear Experts, I am not a real LyX User (I prefer LaTeX) but I always suggest LyX to my students and to everyone wiching to leave the Word-like approach to writing. Most of my students use Windows, and it's all right, some Linux, even better, but a PhD student using a Mac apparently cannot reconfigure LyX. The LaTeX installation is all right: it produces PDF and DVI with no problems at all. Using LyX, even a very simple file, this student cannot produce PDF or DVI. Checking the configuration boxes it seems to me to be all right; I made a camparison with LyX on my Ubuntu installation and I cannot detect any problem. The students is using Mac Book Air; Mac OS X version 10.5.6; Lyx version 1.6.1-Universal. She tried to install again but to no success. Is this a know problem? what can I suggest?
