issue with opening lyx

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

After an unsuccessful launch open Systems Preferences -> Privacy &
Security  and you might find a butto to allow it anyway.

You can also issue

	sudo spctl --master-disable

it will ask you for your password and you must be an admin for this.

If you try again it should go through.
