I agree. I've added /sw/sbin as well (just after /sw/bin), and will submit a patch later.

"open-x11 xfig"

This is a command that is present on OSX 10.3 and up, and I think 10.3 is the system requirement for lyx 1.4.2 anyway. So there's no compatibility problem if one uses this command.

Bennett

I didn't realize there was such a command. It works to open an instance of xfig in X11, but I cannot get it to open a designated file, which the previous version does. Does opening .fig files from within LyX work for you?

open-x11 && xfig

Bennett, you're right, the open-x11 script doesn't seem to accept a file argument; I forgot that LyX needs to append that file name after the opening commands. It does still lead to a simplification if you write but I'm now a bit more doubtful that it's worth trying to fix something that's not really broken... E.g., it's probably good that you're explicitly setting DISPLAY to be safe, while open-x11 doesn't seem to be doing that.

Patch attached for both 1.4.x and 1.5.x.

Bennett

I've used "open-x11 && export DISPLAY=:0.0 && xfig" -- an improvement over the hardcoding of the location of X11.app.
