Then change from "Chess diagram" to "Dia".

Thanks, Scott. But when I do this I get an error message: "No information for converting dia format files to eps. Define a converter in the preferences."Gnosos wrote:This page explains how to set up LyX to convert Dia files to PDF on Windows machines. How does one do this on a Mac?
Any idea how to do this?

Did you install Dia after LyX? Go to LyX > Reconfigure (I think that's the place. If not look in the other menus for Reconfigure. On Ubuntu, it's under "Tools" but I think for Mac there is a "LyX" menu). Then restart and try again.Gnosos wrote:Thanks, Scott.
