I can't get lyx-aqua to see my tetex install, I've done the reconfigure thing, no dice. I'm using the standard Os X latex install in the

You need to be a bit more specific and provide more details. Is it that the LyX installer (which changes things in your LyX user's directory and makes sure certain LaTeX classes/styles are installed properly) gives you an error message when you run it saying that it can't find the TeX installation?
No see below. The problem is when you try to open or create a new document. I cannot find any of the tex classes or styles. Reconfigure does not seem to find a valid tetex install (see Console.app) output.

If there is a way of manually getting Lyx to point to where the standard styles are such as article etc, that would be helpful.


(Did you run the installer?
Yes I ran the installer, here is the output from the installer.

-- That's necessary to set paths properly so that LyX can find your TeX installation.) Or is it that from within LyX itself you don't find things like View > DVI, View > PDF (pdflatex), etc.?

Assuming it's the latter, what is the output from Console.app when you run reconfigure from within LyX?
