What can I do to convert the LyX documents containing inset-info

ATM, LyX seems to have a hard dependency on the ImageMagick
tools. On a Mac this implies the installation of MacPorts of
HomeBrew to get it. To do so one has to install Xcode from Apple.
That???s a big hurdle and I???d like to avoid it and stick to the
available command line tools.
Some people have worked on building a static binary for the mac using brew

Also, it looks like mac photoshop contains such a binary:

Just to add to the confusion there are also fink.sf.net and
pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-osx/ as package managers available.
(There used to be even more, but the others seem to have died out?)
The inset-info is just symptom of much bigger problem - without
ImageMagick lot of LyX capabilities with graphics is gone and we
should strive to have it installed by default with lyx. Until this
is solved, svgz in inset info is just tiny issue compared to much
bigger one...
If it's not easily possible we should at least make clear to
newcomers that lyx without tex & imagemagick will have lot of
problems.
LyX without TeX is a problem. This can be solved by a newcomer by
installing MacTeX. Easy. LyX without ImageMagick shouldn’t be a
problem for a user who is working with PNG, EPS and PDF images only,
IMHO.
To install ImageMagick on a Mac you have to install Xcode and
MacPorts (or HoweBrew) and use the terminal to get a running
ImageMagick.
What is the fundamental problem I have without ImageMagick? What
graphics capabilities of LyX do you refer to?

Another point: You changed the info that LyX supports every image
format. It really does! (Thanks to ImageMagick and Ghostscript.)
I disagreed back then about advertising "all"; but without ImageMagick
the number of supported image formats really boils down.
