Ive been searching around the web for an answer to this problem and can find nothing. I am running a Mac with the latest version of OS X and I have followed the installation page that I found on one of the Lyx.org linked sites. My question is when I put a jpg or any other graphic in the document and then try to view it in any of the output views I get the error "No Information for converting jpg format files to eps. Define a converter in the preferences." I understand that I need a converter to do this but how do I add one? Which one do I use? Another item of frustration for me is that when I try and run the view=>DVI command it does nothing. Any help would be great.
It sounds like you don't have ImageMagick installed. You can get it using i-Installer or fink, e.g. Once you've installed it, select Tools > Reconfigure from within LyX, quit, and restart. Then it should work.
