Where's the mistake?

If you look at LyX > Preferences > Converters, you should find a
converter already defined, with the converter specified as
"latex2rtf $$i" (without the quotes). If you've properly

I've installed Latex2RTF using i-installer. This should be
sufficient as written on the latex2rtfwebsite ("If you want a
MacOS X version, make sure that you have installed the developer
tools CD that is appropriate for your OS version, and then follow
the directions above for a UNIX installation. Alternatively you
can install using fink http://fink.sourceforge.net/ or as an i-
installer package http://www.rna.nl/ii.html.";)
In my preferences>converters, I exactly have what you mean
("latex2rtf $$i"), but I can't choose RTF in my Export menu. I
reconfigured Lyx two times with no changes.
How can I check the path? It seems to be the last possible error...
I'm not sure where iInstaller puts latex2rtf, but I suspect it's
probably /usr/local/bin. (Try checking in the Terminal by typing
"which latex2rtf" and see what the output is.) What you need to
make sure is that whatever path it gives you is a part of LyX >
Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix.
You're right, latex2rtf is installed in /usr/bin/location, a path
contained in my prefix as shown below:
"/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-
current:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current:/usr/X11R6/
bin:/sw/bin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin"
You might also check the results of reconfiguring LyX, which show
up in Console.app. If it finds latex2rtf, you should have a couple
lines like this:
checking for a LaTeX -> RTF converter...
+checking for "latex2rtf"... yes
Yes, I have the both lines in the console output.
(You are quitting and restarting LyX after reconfiguring, right?)
(Yes, everytime)
I'm asking myself if I shouldn't uninstall my MacTex installation and
reinstall everything (any other solution is welcome). I've tried to
use the MacTex.dmg again, but it just updates the archive. Is there a
way (maybe using the terminal?) to be sure that I've cancelled
everything?
Many thanks for your quick help!
