No, that is a native version. > I am running lyx.exe from a cygwin shell (which has tgif in the path).

This happens because you should have tgif in the PATH when you reconfigure LyX. Try adding the path to tgif in "PATH prefix" under Tools->Preferences->Paths and then reconfigure (I am not sure if you need to restart LyX or if the change to PATH prefix takes effect immediately). > So it looks like it is calling the convertDefaul.sh in the new Lyx 1.4.2 > /Resources/scripts directory.

I can include .obj files in the graphics inset and they get displayed in LyX. Remember to start the X server as tgif needs it even for simply converting .obj files to other formats. If tgif is in your PATH, after reconfiguring you should see converters from TGIF to EPS, PPM, PNG and PDF in Preferences->Coverters. -- Enrico
