2.4.0~RC1 hangs on macOS

[list_email at icloud.com]

Thanks, el.

Getting rid of macports for homebrew is not an option for me.

In my profile file, I have this:

alias python=/opt/local/bin/python3

which is macports. Does LyX see this? This alias points to Python 3.9.18. There is a utility to switch to other versions.

I already have the command line tools installed, with Python 3.9.6 at /usr/bin/phython3.

I just now tried switching to this line in my profile file:

alias python=/usr/bin/python3

with the same result.

Remember that LyX 2.3.7 works fine.
