I have recently installed Lyx 2.0 for the MAC (OSX 10.6.7). I have been trying to get the xdvi preview to work -- the Preferences->File handling->File Formats->DVI entry has been set up for xdvi by the installaton I have MacTex 2010 installed.
xdvi runs fine from the a Terminal window. In fact if can run xdvi from the temporary directory where dvi file created by Lyx resides. However when I try to preview from the Lyx GUI environment it says that the dvi preview is successful but the xdvi window never opens. I have opened the messages window and the command is being read correctly. The command generated by Lyx is exactly the same as the one I use on the terminal command line, which runs! I don't know whether this is a bug or whether it is something that is wrong with my system. Asking if anyone else has had this issue. Thanks.
