Please, if your shell is tcsh, use this command to start lyx: lyx -dbg latex >& output.log Instead, if your shell is bash, launch lyx this way: lyx -dbg latex > output.log 2>&1 After LyX started, load Intro.lyx through Help->Introduction and then select "View->PDF (pdflatex)". If it finishes and you can use the menu, quit LyX. Otherwise, if something seems to be stalled, kill LyX by issuing a Control-C in the window from where you started it. Thereafter, send to the list as an attachment the file output.log. Hopefully we will be able to deduce something from its contents. -- Enrico
