OK - got a bit further! Changing the path variable didn't do it. Reviewing old emails again, I see that the PATH variable can be set in the shell OR in the Lyx -> Preferences -> Paths -> PATH Prefix
THEN, you need to do: Lyx -> Reconfigure (This was a step I was missing for a while.) NOW, the lilypond example loads up without complaint. BUT, I get an Apple app crash panel with the following error: "gs cannot be opened because of a problem" with some problem details looking like: Process: gs [6477] Path: /Applications/_AudioMusicRelated/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gs Identifier: gs Version: ??? (???) Code Type: X86 (Native) Parent Process: dvipng [6476] Date/Time: 2010-12-04 09:35:21.031 -0700 OS Version: Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Report Version: 6 Anonymous UUID: 219AD32B-CD4E-46DE-A36B-439CEBBA839D Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 0 Which to me suggests the problem is occurring when generating an png file. This type of crash will come up when I: View -> DVI View -> HTML View -> OpenDocument However, the following work fine: View -> PDF Now it sounds like there is a problem with lilypond's gs itself. Would you agree? (I just upgraded lilypond "OS X" to 2.13.41-1, and the same symptoms occur.) Thoughts? Thanks!
