Hi!

I forward this to the list since I'm not familiar with .scpt files...

Betreff: Lyx and texlive

Hello Andreas,

I found your email from the lyx help menu.
when I try to install lyx1.4.4 on a mac that has texlive2007, the lyx installer gives errors because it cannot find the familiar teTeX paths. I managed to work around this by creating some symbolic links in the texlive directory structure. However still the installer fails to run texhash. That seems like an easy problem to fix because there are three directories involved: 1) The Tex installation directory (TexLive: /usr/local/texlive/ 2007, teTeX: /usr/local/teTeX) 2) The texmf.local (TexLive: /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local, teTeX: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local)
3) directory with texhash (TexLive: /usr/texbin)

So basically one has to modify the Lyx-installer.scpt and attach these paths. (I tried to open it with the Script editor but it gives me errors and I don't have much experience with this kind of programming). If you can tell me how to properly edit this file (an ordinary text editor gives me many strange characters) I could try to edit it test it and submit it.
