I need help figuring out how in an installation shell script to modify
pre-1.3.6 LyX preference files to make for a smooth transition to
1.3.6. I could probably figure out how to do it, but it would take me
far too long, and I'm sure someone can do it quickly for me.
There are two things that need to be modified in the existing
~/.lyx/preferences file (as far as I can now see):
1. Change where \serverpipe points to, from "~/.lyx/.lyxpipe" to
"~/Library/Application Support/LyX/.lyxpipe", and
2. Add a line (if it's not already there) specifying \path_prefix
(which by default should be set to
"/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-
current:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin").
Use of bash and/or perl would be preferable.
Thanks!
Bennett
