Hi,
I think I have everything installed. xdvi, gv, etc... and they run fine from the command line.
i can file->export->dvi, and i can open it from the command line.
everything looks good.
but i still want to be able to launch dvi preview by view->dvi or view->postscript (or by issuing c-d and c-t command).
all installation paths to lyx, xdvi, gv are defaults and they are callable
from the shell window.
maybe i should change the viewer from "gv" to "/sw/bin/gv"?
Thanks,
Sang

<excerpt>hello...
i just installed the lyx/mac binaries.
lyx itself works fine, but i can't get the preview working. (dvi, pdf, ps...) none works.
i did a default installation. (defalut install path)
my lyx installation sits at /Application/lyx
thanks,

Could you provide more info? For example, have you installed the required TeX related packages?
For more info on what other than LyX needs to be installed, please see for some good info:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Mac
But a quick summary: You need to install teTeX (TeX), ghostscript, Freetype2, WMF, iconv, ImageMagick and CM Super (optional) packages. You can use the nice GUI installer i-Installer (http://www.rna.nl/ii.html) or use fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/)
After you have done this, do Edit->Reconfigure, and then restart LyX
Then, go to Preferences, and look under "File formats". You will find a couple of entries for PDF documents. Make sure that you have the "viewer" set to whatever PDF viewer (Acrobat, Preview, etc.) you are using.
Hope this helps.
