unexpected quit

[Lenore Horner]

I have just, rather excitedly, followed Ron's instructions for 
installing Aqua Lyx.  To my disappointment, double clicking on the Lyx 
icon immediately results in an unexpected quit error message.  I'm 
basically a rooking linux user and have done almost nothing with using 
the unix side of OSX.  Here's what I've thought about.

Maybe teTex or the plist file didn't install correctly.  i-installer 
reports no critical errors at the end of configuration, but does say that
Cannot read system-wide csh login file /etc/profile. PATH has not been 
set.
Cannot read /etc/manpath.config file. You are probably running a pre 
10.2 Mac OS X. Man path not set.
There were 1 errors. Please read the warning messages,
### texmf.configure: failed to run settexpath.
On the other hand, typing "tetex" on the command land results in the 
query whether meant "etex".  etex will run.  I have no idea where it 
came from.  As far as I know I haven't installed any such thing, and I'm 
not aware of Apple shipping machines with such things installed.  I 
apparently at one time fooled with intalling teTex via fink, but don't 
recall that that worked.  I supposed that attempt could be marring the 
present installation attempt, but don't know how or why I wouldn't get 
an error message about it.

Maybe the plist file didn't install.  I don't really know how to test 
this.  The plist installer pops up when I download the file, and now 
sees the copy I put in .MacOSX, but I don't know what that means.

It seems like something very fundamental is causing the problem for it 
to unexpectedly quit so quickly.

Any ideas?
