many thanks Chris! But before going there, I have found another issue, at least with my settings, which once fixed also fixed the greyed out icon problem: if one goes in Settings\File Handling\File Formats and selects “PDF (pdflatex)” in the second to last dropdown menu in the settings, the one saying “With TeX fonts”, that makes the icons “live again”, at least it did work for me, hope it does for others too! For the last dropdown, “With nonTeX fonts, I have pdf (pdfXeTeX), in case that also matters).

Note that there are some good security reasons for SIP — in particular it makes it much harder for malware to be installed on your system (though that can still be avoided simply by taking the usual precautions about clicking on unknown links, installing software from unknown or unproven sources, etc). So I'm not recommending that anyone do this but just putting the information and the option out there so folks can make an informed choice: http://goo.gl/W5AZpe. (I failed to note that I had disabled SIP when I reported the other day that I'd had no problems running LyX under El Capitan ever since the first public beta.) -chris On 1 Oct 2015, at 2:54 PM, Paola Manzini <pm...@st-andrews.ac.uk<mailto:pm...@st-andrews.ac.uk>> wrote: After updating to El Capitan earlier today, I am also having problems. First, the same that Robert Dolan specified: the document would not compile. After reconfiguring, I get "AMS Class article"... not found when opening a document created in Lyx 2.4 Interesting, same thing happens if I try to create a new document. I tried unistalling Lyx and re-installing it from scratch, but the problem persists.

Since I installed El Capitan I have not been able to preview the pdf using the “view” icon on the Lyx toolbar. I changed the path as instructed Can you be a bit more specific? What did you change? and I am able to export the lyx file as a pdf. However, I just cannot view/update/preview it without exporting it. Please, try the reconfiguration of LyX. Stephan Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
