LyX ⇒ MacTex 2010 - Lyx can't detect siunitx.lyx?

[kllim]

After I update my MacTex to 2010, my Lyx could not detect siunitx.lyx.
It was alright before I update it. Now when I try to compile my file to pdf, the errors:"undefined control sequence" keep popping out.
One of the description is as following:

...ires about $\mbox{2.21 \kilowatthour/\kg}
$ to reach $\mbox{800 \bbar}$
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Any idea how to resolve this problem?

It's hard to tell from your error, but I suspect that you've moved from siunitx v1 to v2 and are expecting to use units outside of the \SI/\si macros. To do that, you need to set a load-time option. Now, I'm not a Lyx user so this is a tough one for me. In pure LaTeX:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[load-configurations=version-1]{siunitx}
\begin{document}
 to reach $\mbox{800 \bbar}$
\end{document}

Dear Joseph,
Have solved the problem. I reinstalled the Texlive 2010, then change the syntax to $\mbox\si{\bbar}. It works!
