Luatex ran one process, eventually hitting ~100% and ~200 MB, then crashed after about 4-5 minutes. I didn't see Python in call stack of the crash log but I did get this message in a dialog box: The command python -tt "/Applications/Words/LyXOuterFolder/LyX 2.2.0beta2/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py" --with-version-suffix=-2.2 --binary-dir="/Applications/Words/LyXOuterFolder/LyX 2.2.0beta2/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/" has not yet completed. Do you want to stop it? I clicked on Continue or whatever the choice was and immediately got: The system has been reconfigured. You need to restart LyX to make use of any updated document class specifications. I quit LyX and relaunched, then ran Reconfigure again with the same result. Jerry
