Hi all:
I have switched over to TeXLive (the larger, complete one) and usually
work with TeXShop. I occassionally use LyX however. I installed the
MacExtras too and want to install the LyX contained.
Here's my problem ....
My understanding is that one runs LyX-installer.app first. However, when
I run that, I get two error messages
1) 'can't find texmf.local'
I hit 'OK" and then see
2) 'Cannot create /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex
directory. Please do so manually.
3) I then get (ok, that's NOT two error messages ;-)
Cannot install preview, srcltx and LyX's additional classes and styles
What is the best way to deal with this? Should I create those
directories and then run the installer again? I was wondering if I
should do this and make a symlink back to the texlive directories ....
TIA,
Rene
ps
I see:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Feb 27 00:37 texlive
then
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 136 Feb 27 00:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 442 Feb 27 23:09 ..
drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Feb 11 21:53 2007
drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 306 Feb 27 21:28 texmf-local
are these the permissions I should see for the texlive directory?
