Hello Jezz, "gs" is the program GhostScript and it needs an X11-display to present the contents. Apple isn't providing X11 out-of-the-box anymore since Mountain Lion (10.8.X). Normally LyX is producing PDF documents directly and there is no need to start "gs". The question is: why is "gs" used by LyX? And why doesn't it happen for all documents? Perhaps you have some special image in use? Stephan
