I am trying to import a RTF document into Lyx 1.6 (Mac OS X 10.5.5, Intel) through the "File > Import > Rich Text Format..." command but get the following error:

An error occurred whilst running rtf2latex2e 'whateverfile.rtf'


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.
