I am trying to use LyX 2.1.2 with Yosemite, but review does not work for
me. I cannot even preview the help manuals. I can export them to LaTex
and then compile them with LaTex. This must be some path problem, but I
do not know how to deal with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I noticed that LyX did not run "Reconfigure" on Yosemite, at least not in
the directory that LyX expects it to be run.
Here are the steps that I took to get LyX 2.1.2 on Yosemite to compile a
document (fresh OS X installation):
1. Install MacTex # triggered installation of xcode command line tools
2. Install LyX # run once
2.1. Open Terminal
2.2. cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.1/ # user directory as
shown in "About LyX"
2.3. Run python /Applications/LyX.app/Content/Resources/configure.py #
path might be incorrect, I an not at my Mac at the moment, do a manual
reconfigure, must be in the correct directory (user directory)
3. Run LyX
4. Open document
5. Preview document
Regarding the "convert" utility, this is actually imagemagick (possibly
graphicsmagick) and I had to (following the recommended procedure) install
MacPorts first, and it took me a whole night to get imagemagick to install
through MacPorts (a lot of dependencies).
Kind regards,
Hugo
