I have finally upgraded from LyX 1.3.5 to 1.4.2 after finishing a
big project in 1.3. LyX 1.4.2 seems to launch fine, but when I try
to open a new document I get the "Can't load document class error".
Eventually a new document opens, but every click or keystroke
brings up the spinning beach ball and eventually LyX hangs.
Activity viewer shows a python script running and eating up 75-80%
of the CPU before it hangs. I presume it is configure.py? But I'm
not sure what the problem is? I've tried reconfigure, rehash and
all the text classes show up in the TeX Info window. Any ideas?
Is there any output in Console.app as this happens?
You might also try running LyX from the Terminal to show debugging
information. The following will spit out too much info, but it would
be interesting to see what it says when you try then to open a new
document:
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx -dbg any
(Of course, substitute the appropriate path to LyX.app for /
Applications if you have LyX somewhere else.)
