Thank you, Bennett, the updated PATH prefix did the trick! I must
have got something wrong when I tried to adjust it myself.

Hi,
I'm really confused about updating from teTeX to gwTeX with LyX
and would highly appreciate any hints.
I'm using i-installer to install and maintain my TeX installation.
LyX 1.4.x worked fine for me with the teTeX installation (on Mac
OS X, 10.4.8).
However, teTeX seems to be no longer supported, and Gerben Wierda
now has his own (re)distribution of TeX based on TeX Live, labeled
gwTeX. Thus, I updated to gwTeX and uninstalled teTeX.
But how do I tell LyX to recognize the change and use gwTeX? I
tried "reconfigure" as well as adjusting the PATH prefix in the
preferences, but it doesn't work. For example, the LaTeX classes
are still displayed (Tools > TeX information) with the path "/usr/
local/tetex/...".
I don't know how to fix this and couldn't find anything about it
in the LyX Users List -- so, any help is welcome.
You need to update the PATH prefix (LyX > Preferences > Paths >
PATH prefix) to point to the new location of gwTeX. This will be
updated when the new version of LyX comes out, and the new default
PATH prefix will be:
/usr/texbin:/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/
local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/
powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-
current:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/
local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
(You can just cut and paste this into your LyX preferences, if you
like.)
