Rather than further troubleshoot my issues with LyX on Snow Leopard, I decided to wait until I could start fresh with Lion.
After some hardware repairs, I wiped the hard drive on my MacBook Pro and installed Lion 10.7.4, MaxTeX-2012 (which I immediately updated with the TeX Live Utility), LyX2.0.4+qt4, and Skim 1.3.21. I ran LyX -> Reconfigure, and then set LyX and Skim to sync with each other. Now I can successfully typeset LyX documentation without error. I want to thank everybody on this mailing list who tried to help me troubleshoot; sometimes an OS simply has too much cruft from being ridden and put up wet too many times, and it's simpler just to start over. -- Rich On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 9:58 AM, Richard Heck <rgh...@comcast.net> wrote: > On 02/07/2012 11:35 AM, Rich Talley wrote: > > Yes, I did reconfigure LyX. > > I am going to create a small test document that only has a title and a > couple of the problematic graphics files from the User's Manual, one eps > and one pdf.
