Hmm, my octave is the homebrew version, but my LyX is the binary downloaded using the links on LyX website. 2.4.4 downloaded from https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/bin/2.4.4/ 2.5.0 downloaded from https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.5/ I don’t know whether homebrew compiles LyX differently or just copies from the official website. I uninstalled octave and all configuration files using brew and it stopped working. I re-installed and the lag is there. The Messages Pane says "calling: octave -q 2>&1” but the icon that appears in the Dock says “octave-gui”. The PATH Prefix in LyX Preferences is empty. I then deleted only the octave-gui executable. LyX Messages Pane now says "'/opt/homebrew/Cellar/octave/9.4.0_1/libexec/octave/9.4.0/exec/aarch64-apple-darwin23.6.0/octave-gui' octave: No such file or directory” So my LyX seems to look specifically for octave-gui. After removing octave-gui, in a terminal window octave-cli continues to work as expected. Interestingly, when I type “octave” in a terminal window it apparently also seeks octave-gui and fails: "failed to exec '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/octave/9.4.0_1/libexec/octave/9.4.0/exec/aarch64-apple-darwin23.6.0/octave-gui’ " Fatihcan -- lyx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
