Hi Richard / Bennett, I installed MacTex and when I type "sudo texhash" in the terminal with the admin acct I get:
texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/ls-R... texhash: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var/ls-R... texhash: Done. However, when I try to open a .lyx document in LyX, I get the following error: "This layout file requested by this document, article.layout, is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customizaiton documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output.
