I have version: LyX Version 2.1.2.2
(November 1, 2014) Library directory: /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ User directory: ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.1/ When I open my file and then press the button to make a pdf it gives me the error message and I press ok to go back to my file. Then I go to documents and the "latex log" is grey. I'm not able to choose it. Is there another way I can send you it to you? Again, thank you for your patience. > Subject: Re: Issue with lyx PLEASE HELP > From: st.w...@gmx.net > Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2014 22:14:04 +0100 > CC: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > To: knowledgegal...@hotmail.com > > Am 08.11.2014 um 21:29 schrieb V N <knowledgegal...@hotmail.com>: > > > I installed the dmg file you sent me.
