Hi—

I do not know how to use LyX “bug reporting” and hope you can help me.

I have been unsuccessful in getting LyX 2.3.6.2 to work on my MacBookPro running OS 12.6.

I downloaded your DMG file many time thinking that perhaps there was a transmission error. But nothing works. Even tried a mirror.

Here is a partial list of problem that I have encountered:

Hi again,

I did see several issues related to reconfiguring LyX in recent weeks that were related to the lack of a proper python installation on recent macOS versions.

A quick search on our bug tracker shows these reports that might be relevant:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12523
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11895
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12150


But again, I am not a macOS user, so you can probably get a better from a member of this list.

Regards,
JMarc


(1) When opening LyX, the word LyX appears briefly on the Menu Bar and then disappears completely. The main LyX window never opens.

(2) Sometimes I get a message about needing to Reconfigure LyX. When I try to do so, I get a message that it failed.

(3) Sometimes I get a message that the cite engine is missing.

(4) The file LyX-2.3 located in /Library/Application Support/ contains ONLY an empty cache file.

(5) Once-- do not recall exactly what I was doing at the time-- I got a message that said something like, “You have encountered a bug in LyX.”


I have spent at least 4 or 5 hours trying various alternatives in hopes of getting LyX to work. None have been successful.

Will you please let me know by Reply email what I should do now?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Ed
