That webpage is for earlier versions of LyX and Mac OS X. You should ignore it. You will need to delete /Users/jrennstich/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/.lyxpipe.in manually, though you won't find them in the GUI (since the Finder does not display any file whose name begins with ".". So you need to do it using the Terminal: rm /Users/jrennstich/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-1.6/.lyxpipe.in (Notice the "\ " between "Application" and "Support".) > Any help how to link Lyx and BibDesk successfully and help Lyx and BibDesk > identify my .bib libraries would be greatly appreciated. Just make sure you put your .bib libraries in the usual place: ~/Library/texmf/tex/bib. Then LaTeX (and LyX) can find them. Bennett
