That can't be right. Python 2 has been deprecated for years. I'm sure LyX gives you the choice to use Python 3.

There was indeed a conflict between two python distributions installed in my system: the distribution from Fedora and Intel python. This is also related to my other thread (Support for xfig graphics). I removed the intel distribution and now it seems that everything is working as it should.

It seems that the problem was indeed a mix-up with different python distributions.

Something is wrong with your python2 installation because that should not happen in a regular Fedora installation. I am not even sure if that could have been caused by setting PYTHONPATH... I have just tested a similar call like the one above and it works for me. One way to solve the problem in lyx is to install the python-unversioned-command package. That will make /usr/bin/python point to python3 because currently lyx is getting python2 as the python version and thus the error that you get.

Support for xfig graphics
Running:
Fedora Core 36 on x64 box
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
LyX Version 2.3.6.1 (provided by Fedora repo)
It seems that the support for xfig figures is not working on my system. See
the
attached files.
The Xfig file sets the TeX flag for text.
In the LyX window, the preview fails. When I try to view the document with
pdflatex, the following error message appears in the latex log:
! LaTeX Error: File `0_home_rudi_temp_ufrgs_Coulomb_Law.pdftex_t' not found.
Exporting to LaTeX (pdflatex) generates the attached file. Running on terminal:
rudi@stix|ufrgs>pdflatex tes_xfig01.tex
gives the expected error:
! LaTeX Error: File `Coulomb_Law.pdftex_t' not found.
because the exporter did not generate the Coulomb_Law.pdftex_t file.
