Hi,
I was trying to use Skim and LyX 1.5.7 for inverse PDF searching. It
did not work for me. MacOSX 10.5.5.
I did the following:
-----
install mactex 2008
put \usepackage{pdfsync} in the preamble
set the pdf (pdflatex) viewer to open -a Skim.app
restart lyx
on viewing the PDF file, Skim gets called, fine.
I set lyx as the editor for inverse search in Skim.
Now, option-click or option-shift click is supposed to jump to the
line in the lyx editor, but it doesn't.

I tried explicitly deleting .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out, which are
in the default location ~/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/ and
then restarting lyx.
I also tried to run lyx -dbg any: no message at all when clicking the
PDF file in Skim.
Any ideas what goes wrong? is this lyx or skim?
cheers, Nils
This only worked for me when I set the Lyx pipe location to:
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyxpipe
