I have actually found this problem in the archives here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg69835.html There, Bennett Helm says to run LyX from the terminal and report what happens. I am not sure exactly what his command of "/path/to/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx" means, but I went into terminal and commanded: /applications/lyx.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx and I recieved: Segmentation fault If this is not what I was supposed to enter, please let me know clearly what I should enter and I will do another test. Does this mean LyX will not work on my OS Will a previous edition work, and if so which is the last one certified to work on 10.3.9? Thanks so much, Thoedore Yale
