Hi,

It seems this is an oldy but goodie. Just installed Lyx 1.4.3 in Net
BSD got the  above error messageupon starting. I can find stuff on
the list that deals with this error in windows but not UNIX does
anybody know how to solve this on UNIX? Regards,

I think the Windows solution should also work on Unix/Linux. The error message means the configuration script failed for some reason. Open a shell, cd to the parent directory under which your LyX home directory (preferences etc.) should be installed, and from there run <path to Python>/python <path to LyX>/Resources/configure.py. Keep an eye on the output for indications of problems (particularly the script failing to find a working version of LaTeX).
