Dear lyx users,
with OS X 10.4.11 + Texlive2008 (MacTex) + LyX 1.6.1 opening lyx
files from 1.5 I got lyx2lyx failures, and invoking lyx2lyx at the
command line results in:
/Applications/TeX/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx "being
classylyx.lyx"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/TeX/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/
lyx2lyx", line 23, in <module>
import LyX
File "/Applications/TeX/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/
LyX.py", line 25, in <module>
import gzip
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/
lib/python2.5/gzip.py", line 9, in <module>
import zlib
ImportError: No module named zlib
So... then I changed my Python install to the 2.6.1; and updated
my .profile so that Python launches as 2.6.1 for me, and tested
lyx2lyx at the command line, which worked...
until I forgot to add the new python path to the front of Lyx's
internally stored path.
so frustration resolved, and posted in case other os x users find this.
