The problem is regarding the "/home/gianluca" access.
In fact... if you create a simple document and you add a bibtex
database... and after you edit the .lyx file outside lyx with a
texteditor... and change the line
bibfiles "/Users/gianluca/tmp/Articoli/databaseAll"
with a line that try to access to "/home/" directory on Mac
bibfiles "/home/gianluca/tmp/Articoli/databaseAll"
It will crash.
But if you change to another directory it will not crash even if
the file doesn't exist.
Maybe the problem could be in the fact that I can't even list
the "/home/" directory on Mac
In fact, on apple terminal this is what I get:
Mac:~> ls /home/gianluca
ls: /home/gianluca: Input/output error
I'm forwarding this to LyX devel. I still can't cause the crash,
but (a) I'm on Linux and (b) I use English. But we need to
investigate it.
Can you file a bugzilla report about this, too?
I cannot duplicate this. In the terminal, I get:
> ls /home
ls: /home: No such file or directory
Compared with Gianluca's result, it looks like there's something
wrong with his system.
Running LyX on the modified file, I get an output produced with no
bibliography. When I export and run BibTeX on the file, I get:
I couldn't open database file /home/Bibdatabase.bib
---line 16 of file testing.aux
: \bibdata{/home/Bibdatabase
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command

I checked on bugzilla... and there is another user that find this
bug... but him cannot explain why... however the problem is the same!
*Bugzilla Bug 4440*
In fact, if you see on the lyx file attached that create the
crash... you'll see that there are some path like "/home/nameusers/
some/path/file".
Bennett... do you have a mac with Leopard ??? Do you have the /home
directory ???
How can I understand where is the problem with my system ???
I'm on 10.4.11. I downloaded the file from bugzilla, but could not
reproduce that crash either. I do not have a /home directory, as the
output from "ls /home" indicates above. I don't know what the problem
is for you, but you should not get "Input/output error" (whatever
exactly that means) as the result of trying to get a directory
listing of a nonexistent directory.
