It’s a little bit more convoluted than you think. I’ve tried to disable rsvg-convert by making it a non-executable and the shell didn’t find it - but LyX detected it and couldn’t run it. So, it was not right to say, I’m having the same problem as you. My problem was to have a non-working rsvg-convert. Then I renamed rsvg-convert and the preview of SVG graphics snippets worked out-of-the-box again. Next I’ve installed inkscape 0.91 and immediately had your problem after reconfiguring LyX. LyX was able to find end execute inkscape but the converter script used contains a strange command line and the conversion failed because of it. The python script generated on the fly by LyX has two superfluous „$$p“ in front of the real path names of in and out files. # if os.system(r'inkscape --without-gui --file=$$p' + '"' + infile + '"' + ' --export-png=$$p' + '"' + outfile + '"' + '') != 0: This is a consequence of the auto detected converter configuration line in ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.3/lyxrc.defaults \converter svg png "inkscape --without-gui --file=$$p$$i --export-png=$$p$$o" "", I’m not sure how this should work - obviously it doesn’t work. It would be good to file a trac ticket about this issue.
