I'm not sure why the installer isn't working for you. But that should not affect at all your ability to create LyX files, import LaTeX files, or typeset documents. (Can you typeset LyX documents you create from scratch, without importing?) The error message you report when you try to import .tex documents indicates either that you don't have a proper LaTeX installation or that LyX can't find it. So, first, check that LyX > Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix is set (with /usr/texbin: at the beginning). If that's correct, then run LyX > Reconfigure, and restart LyX as instructed. Does that enable you to typeset and/or import .tex files? BH
