Greetings all, I am brand-new to LyX (and TeX, et al.), so please forgive me if there is a simple solution.
First, my system: iMac with 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, running OS X v. 10.4.11. I installed TeXShop (v. 2.18-svn), which includes the MacTeX-2008 distribution. After struggling with LaTeX with a while, I found out about LyX, and decided to give it a try. I downloaded LyX 1.6.1 and installed it. When I open the program, I get this error message: "Unable to determine the system directory having searched /Applications/LyX/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ Use the '-sysdir' command line parameter or set the environment variable LYX_DIR_16x to the LyX system directory containing the file `chkconfig.ltx'. Could someone be so kind as to decipher this for me, and tell me what to do? LyX Newbie
