Do you confirm that by disabling autosave LyX 1.6.4.1 works all right on MAC OS X 10.6? No. It seems that even by disabling autosave, LyX still attempts to perform autosaving and the "crash" still occurs. However, this is little more than an annoyance since the app doesn't actually

Just my two cents: I would wait until the crashes are fixed. It is true that you don't loose any work as LyX keeps on running, but the crash warnings will also keep nagging you as they appear quite often. My own "experiments" on compiling LyX on 10.6 have failed, as I apparently have inst
