Thomas, I have never used RCS so I do not know what Lyx uses for this on Mac. But I read on the Wiki the following (http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/VersionControl) : "LyX uses RCS <http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/tichy91rcs.html> in order to implement version control. By default RCS is not installed on OS X (10.5 at least). It is however part of Xcode<http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/>. "
So, if you depend on the version installed by Xcode, and if Xcode 5 has updated it to a new version, you could meet the same problems as the ones met by the Coda people using SVN (the version 1.7 installed by Xcode is not compatible with their repository created using an older version of SVN). The version I have with Xcode 5.2 on my laptop is RCS version 5.7 You can check yours by executing rcs -V in Terminal. I do not fully grok the messages in German, so I am just guessing here. More people could maybe help you if you translate the messages to English, I think. 2013/12/4 Thomas Wirtz <th...@gmx.li> > Hi Murat, > > Thank your for your advice and your link. > I can’t really say something about Xcode / Coda and if it affects the > version control system of LyX.
