On Mac OS X LyX 1.3.7 stores its information in a new location (~/ Library/Application support/LyX/)

The LyX Installer supplied with the binary moves the old files to the new location. But apparently something is going wrong, since LyX 1.3.7 does not find the latex classes anymore. However when running the configure tool in a terminal window everything seems OK, although the LaTeXConfig.lyx file (kept in ~/ Library/.../doc/) does only contain ??? entries.

When installing LyX 1.3.7 from scratch (thus after first removing the old ./LyX folder) then there is no problem: a new folder is created in the new location (but apparently it is not used). The LaTeXConfig.lyx file is now found in the application itself, together with al other files. Although this is probably not as it should be, it works.

Have you tried Edit > Reconfigure from within LyX, and then restarting LyX? I think that would solve all your problems.

Yes, I did and it didn't solve the problem.
Sofar only installing from scratch did help although I don't understand the logic after the location of the configuration files: I have now 2 LaTexConfig.lyx files (1 in my ~/Lib/ folder (generated today) and 1 in the .app itself (generated some days ago)).
However there is still only 1 textclass.lst file (in the .app).

On another computer I installed 1.3.7 after 1.3.6 and there was no problem then.
The problem occurred when installing 1.3.7 after 1.3.5

(By the way, LaTeXConfig.lyx file is automatically generated when you reconfigure LyX, and after a reconfigure you should find it in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX/doc with proper entries.)
