Hi!

This is bad. However, I do not see where it comes from. Do you have
messages in the console (launch Console.app and look for messages that
may come from LyX).

  

Sorry, I've not been able to regain access to the concerned box until 
late in the afternoon. Here what I've found:

These are the lines recorded in the console log each time LyX crashes 
after trying to load Sweave module:

For easier reference...

http://xen.net/onLyX/lyxCrashConsoleMessages.html

The full report generated by Mac OS X is available here...

http://xen.net/onLyX/lyxCrashProbReport.html

The box has a fresh and fully updated Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D573)

I've installed MacTeX (as per section 2.2 at 
http://www.lyx.org/Download) prior to install LyX 1.6.5, then to install 
LyX 2.0.0 alpha2

The link at the LyX download page drove me to...
http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/
[ approximately 1.3G - 12 March 2010 ]
MacTeX-2009.mpkg
MacTeX.mpkg.zip

Please, does this make any sense for you? Let me know how I can be of 
any further help. Thanks!

Cheers,

Ricardo
