Mac OS- Windows incompatibility?

[Paola Manzini]

Thanks Alex - it took me a while to reply because I wanted to make sure, but I reinstalled texlive utility (which was out of date), updated all packages (which took a while), and still LyX won’t compile (nor would Texlive).

If you have any other ideas, gratefully received!

Kind regards,
Paola
