When you installed LyX did you run the installer as well as copying
the LyX file to your applications folder?

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?
