Thanks for confirming that this solves the problem. But yes, LyX is
supposed to work with Python 3, and obviously it does not at the moment.

We'll certainly want to test whatever changes we eventually make to
configure.py. I have created a bug report for this here:

https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11642

If you add yourself (you may have to create an account) in the cc list,
you'll be notified as there are updates. It will be possible to test
this, simply by downloading the new configure.py script and running it
the same way.

2019-08-20 Thread Matthias Görlach 

Hi Riki,

thank you for this analysis/hint - this was perfect for a "work around":

0) install python v 2.7.16 (well, will have to deal with things which 
require python 3.X)

1) deleted the LyX-2.3 directory (folder) from ~/Library/Application Support
2) mkdir of an empty Lyx-2.3 dir
3) cd into it
4) run python -tt /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py 
--with-version-suffix=-2.3 
--binary-dir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/

==> 5) last lines of terminal output:
...
+checking for package natbib [natbib]... yes
+Inspection done.
+Read the file doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx for more information.


6) low & behold: starting LyX 2.3 works fine - no error messages anymore 
(and my templates work again)


Of course it will be better to eventually have LyX 2.3 working with the 
more recent python.


Let me know if I should test this at some point.

Best

Matthias

The configure script looks to be crashing when it tries to process 
the first module file. The fact that chklatex.ltx and chkmodules.txt 
have not been removed indicate that, as does the suspiciously small 
size of your chkmodules.tex.


Can you run the command Stephan gave you from the terminal again, 
but this time copy and paste the end of the output? I'm wondering 
whether Python itself is issuing some kind of error message.

Mostly, the point is that it's Python 3, though maybe the problem is 
specific to this version. As I said, though, I'm seeing a crash here 
with 3.7.4 that looks similar:

Obviously the result of the configure run on your system is incomplete
and cannot be used by LyX. The got an idea what is going wrong you may
start an explicit configure run in terminal.

The command used by LyX is:

python -tt /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py 
--with-version-suffix=-2.3 --binary-dir=/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/

Perhaps it makes a difference.

Dear Stephan, dear Riki,


I did a new install of 2.3.3 startet Lyx - no error, except the minimal 
functionality etc (asking reconfigure) - attached find the configure log file - 
I renamed it (only for saving it), in case I test a bit more.
Then I tried to open a template (letter with head/address etc; attached also) - 
and then all the errors reappeared:

layout file article not found
cite engine not available
The layout
file:scrlttr2
  could not be found.

Nothing of this happens after reinstall of 2.2.4

I attach here my letter template - just in case...

Also in the config log it says:

INFO: +checking for "libreoffice"...  no
INFO: +checking for "gimp"...  no
INFO: +chec

Hi,

command line didnt do it.

I sudo-ed your command - it ran through (logfile  attached);
lyx reacts the same as before.

That would surprise me. On a Unix system and a Mac one should be able
to write to the directories below the home directory. LyX runs with
user privileges on a Mac all the time - permission problems shouldn’t
exist.

ONLY completely removing any traces of Lyx and reinstalling Lyx 2.2.4 solved

fine on my system - so what is the issue???

Any hints/help available??

Hi Matthias,

as others said already - it should work.

What can be done to diagnose the problem? I would need to know what the LyX 
configure run did.

There is a folder in your user directory named ~/Library/Application 
Support/LyX-2.3. This is the location to look for the file configure.log. 
Please send it to the users list or in a private mail to me.

I could be wrong, of course, but it smells like a permissions problem.
We've seen this kind of thing in other cases, where configure.py can't
write to the relevant folder. If not, the log may not exist.

Riki


If that's the case, running the configuration script in a shell / 
terminal / whatever the Apple term is should indicate as much.

I could be wrong, of course, but it smells like a permissions problem.
We've seen this kind of thing in other cases, where configure.py can't
write to the relevant folder. If not, the log may not exist.

Hi Matthias,

as others said already - it should work.

What can be done to diagnose the problem? I would need to know what the LyX 
configure run did.

There is a folder in your user directory named ~/Library/Application 
Support/LyX-2.3. This is the location to look for the file configure.log. 
Please send it to the users list or in a private mail to me.

I can’t help much. 2.3.3 is running fine here (High Sierra) and I often have 
multiple versions alongside when I upgrade.
The only thing I can think of that isn’t mentioned is to perform a sudo texhash 
from the Terminal.

There are some OSX folks around, so I'm updating the subject and cc'ing
our Mac guru. We've not had any other reports of this problem, so we
know 2.3.x will run on OSX. Not that that's any help to you!

Is it possible to install 2.3.x alongside 2.2.4? Possibly as a different
user? If so, it'd be interesting to see the output of the
reconfiguration script. That might give us some hint what's going wrong.

Lyx v 2.3.X - severe Problems

2019-08-15 Thread Matthias Görlach 

Hi,
after running and using Lyx for maybe 10 years, I finally tried to 
upgrade from v 2.2.4 to 2.3.2 and 2.3.3.


This resulted in unusability or continuously repeated error messages 
relating to "missing document classes", something about "missing 
library" and finally to "LyX will only have minimal functionality 
because no */text classes/* have been found. You can either try to 
*/configure/* LyX normally, try to reconfigure without checking your 
LaTeX installation, or continue." 



I tried a lot - to no avail - incl newsgroups, Wiki etc etc
Reconfigure didnt do a thing - neither a complete new install of the 
recent MacTEX suite, reinstall of Lyx etc etc. Other TEX distribs (e.g. 
mac texmaker) worked flawlessly.
My System MacOS X, 10.12.6 Sierra incl latest patches on a MacBook Pro 
(MacBookPro9,2).


ONLY completely removing any traces of Lyx and reinstalling Lyx 2.2.4 
solved the problem - its running fine.


Accd to the Lyx web site, the latest release of Lyx (2.3.3) should be 
running fine on my system - so what is the issue???


Any hints/help available??
