Finally, I re-installed LaTeX - this time with MacTex, not i-
Installer, then LyX - which worked even without running the Mac LyX-
installer: Now, all the classes are available, I can create output -
though, instead of "Preview", Safari pops up and wants to show the
PDFs ... but that's not important. I can also use DVI - which did not
work in the old installation - which is turned into PDFs and shown by
TeXmaker that came with MacTeX. So, everything is almost even better
than before. Somehow I must have broken my LaTeX installation - don't
know how, but doesn't matter anymore :-)
Thanks for all the helping suggestions - keep on "happy lyxing"
;-)

This indicates that something is wrong with your teTeX installation.
but i-Installer updated everything fine ... and it worked already,
as I wrote earlier, and then "broke" without any changes to the OS
or parts of the system, of course especially no changes on the TeX
installation have been made (before the update with i-Installer
today)
(Can you use LyX to generate a .tex file and then run latex
manually on that?)
no, unfortunately, not even that: File export only as ASCII or
Lyx-1.3, preview only as ASCII ...
The point is that if using the Terminal you can't find texhash (or
latex or kpsewhich, e.g.), then you can't expect LyX to find them
either. (Try entering "which latex" from in the Terminal to see if
that gives you a path to a working latex.) For your installation,
it should return:
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/latex
