I am trying to import a RTF document into Lyx 1.6 (Mac OS X 10.5.5,

I have been looking up rtf2latex2e and discovered that apparently it is
not supported on Mac OS X unless you compile the UNIX version. My
question is: how can I make the command work? What do I need to install
in addition and how can I do that?
If there is no native os x version, then install macports
(<http://www.macports.org/>), and from there install the needed packages.
$ port search rtf2latex
rtf2latex tex/rtf2latex 1.5 Filter to convert
RTF text into LaTeX code
rtf2latex2e tex/rtf2latex2e 1.0fc1 Filter to convert
rtf files into LaTeX2e code.
