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.)
Does this crash go away if you go to the Preferences and turn off
Instant Preview under "Graphics"?
Probably that's not the issue here since you're opening a _new_
document. But I have had a crash when _opening_ a document that
contains math formulas, while Instant Preview was on. It was sort of
unpredictable, as has been remarked earlier on this mailing list.
