  • What is your OS? I've never had this problem on Ubuntu. What do you have under Tools > Preferences > Paths under "Temporary directory"? – scottkosty Jun 09 '15 at 15:13
  • I have OS X Yosemite. In temporary directory I have by default /var/folders/l4/bdk79k191g9dg5n71n57cdkr0000gn/T @scottkosty – Guandi Jun 10 '15 at 06:04
  • Try changing that to '/tmp'. There is '/tmp' folder on OS X right? – scottkosty Jun 10 '15 at 06:57
  • Thanks does works. In temporary directory when you use a Mac you have to write \private\tmp @scottkosty – Guandi Jun 10 '15 at 12:26
  • OK glad it works. If you experience the same issue on a fresh install, can you please make a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac. This would help fix problems for future users. – scottkosty Jun 10 '15 at 19:19

Go to Tools > Preferences > Paths.

Under "Temporary directory", put "\private\tmp".
