Has anybody found a working solution to that?
This sounds like your paths aren't set properly when LyX is running
(though they are from a Terminal session), and I now realize that the
installation script doesn't add anything to your preference file to
change the path appropriately. Just to test to see if this is what the
problem is, try doing this:
In Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix, enter
"/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-
current:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin" (without the
quotes).
Now try reconfiguring LyX and restarting. Does that do the trick?
