Dear Patrick,
Many thanks, removing the preference files solved the problem.
I guess this is definitely a bug that needs reporting.
Regards,
Ian

Ian,
I had similar problems and solved it by removing all the preference-
files (old and new).
From 1.3.5 on the preferences have been moved from ~/.lyx/ to ~/
Library/Application Support/lyx/
When upgrading the lyx installer moves the files but apparently
something goes wrong causing lyx to look in the wrong places.
I upgraded from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 and got your problem, although tetex
and all classes were present as before. I'm not sure but it is
possible that the paths in the preferences-dialog were empty; maybe
supplying the missing paths may also help.

pdv

Dear Lys Users,
I have just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4. I still have the same
issues running Lyx. The application cannot find the Latex classes
and the View menu does not contain any viewers. See thread for
more details.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ian

Dear Bennett,
Many thanks for the reply. From my reading of the outputs below
the install looks OK what do you make of it? Any further
suggestions? Thanks for your help!
Did you run the LyX installer script from the installer volume?
That should tell you if you have a teTeX installation.
Yes
(To be sure, you can go to the Terminal and enter "which
pdflatex", and it should give you a path to that file's location.)
Ian-Stevensons-Computer:~ ianstevenson$ which pdflatex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex
The LyX User's folder is now located at ~/Library/Application
Support/LyX. Running the installer script should move your old
folder from ~/.lyx to this new location.
This folder is present.
What happens if you run (from the Terminal) /Applications/
LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx/configure

removing xfonts/fonts.dir, which is identical to the system
global version
removing font links
(or change "/Applications" to point to the directory where you
have LyX.app installed)? Does the output from this indicate that
LyX can find latex and other relevant files? (Not all of them
will say "yes", but standard ones like latex and document class
article should.)
