Looks like something has gone wrong with your TeX-installation. I
think the easiest is to re-install MacTeX then re-run the LyX-installer.

Hi, Anders,
I can tell Bennett is an expert just by how he asked the question.
The installation failed, so I did not run LyX. Yes, I installed TeX
with MacTeX before LyX.
This is my first time installing LyX. My Mac Version is
MacOSX-10.4.11.
The installer just attempts to make things a little nicer on Mac, but
LyX will run just fine without it. Also, it won't hurt to run the
installer multiple times.
Because AppleScript has some sort of error, I'm not able to get
access to the installation log; but what that error is isn't showing
up in the console. That makes it hard to tell what's going on. So try
it again and let us know what dialogs pop up after it asks about
LyX's template files. (There may be nothing before the AppleScript
error, but that's what I want to know.)
Also, check in your ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ folder. Is there a lyx
folder in there? If so, are there any files in it? If there are,
open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and type:
kpsewhich lyxchess.sty
Does that just give you another prompt, or does it print out the path
to that file?
If it gives you a path, then your installation is fine, and you can
just forget about the error. If it doesn't give you anything, then
type in Terminal.app:
texhash
That will complete the installation.
Otherwise -- if there is no lyx folder or there are no files in it --
let me know.

I re-ran the installer. There is no dialog pop up after it asks about
the template
file and before the AppleScript error message. The only change is that
"Install default LyX
templates" gets checked.
I don't even have this ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ folder. But I tried
kpsewhich lyxchess.sty anyway. I got just prompt. So, I tried texhash,
here is what I got
appledediannao:~ wubiao$ texhash
texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local: directory not
writable. Skipping...
texhash: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf: directory not writable.

Thanks for the help.
