That means that you have Instant Preview turned on and yet have nothing like \converter lyxpreview ppm "lyxpreview2ppm.py" "" defined in your $PREFIX/share/lyx/lyxrc.defaults file. You shouldn't need Instant Preview to load a postscript graphic. See here http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/InstantPreview for an explanation of what the feature is and how to get it running. Please check that the "Instant Preview" checkbox is not set in the "Look and Feel->Graphics" pane of the Edit->Preferences dialog. This won't/shouldn't enable you to load your PostScript graphics, but it should remove an 'arbitrary' error message. -- Angus

LyX 1.3.5 Mac OS 10.3.7 When trying to load a postscript graphic, my graphic insert says "Error converting to loadable format" and my console spits out the following: PreviewLoader::startLoading() No converter from "lyxpreview" format has been defined. Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in get Operand stack: hrsyr.gsf0 Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in get Operand stack: hrsyr.gsf0 convert: Postscript delegate failed. /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.sh ERROR Execution of "convert" failed. I AM ABLE to use .ps graphics on my Mac laptop running LyX 1.3.4. I have checked the Preferences dialogues on the two computers to make sure the Converters appear identical and they do appear identical. 1. Try running "convert" on your graphic from Terminal. 2. What program are you using to generate your ps file? If it has an embedded tiff/jpg preview then Latex will not be able to use it. 3. I have also run into a problem on my Mac with a graphics program that was using a font that Latex did not like.
