LyX, a professional text-authoring tool, is the tool which I'm using for writing my thesis. Once written in the WYSIWYG-tool for LaTeX the output is professional styled PDF-document. Forget M$ Word, forget other text processing tools. LyX is free, professional and wide spread in the academic area.

The current version 1.6.3 for Mac is throughs errormessges every few minutes with the following message:
USING_FORK_WITHOUT_EXEC_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_FILE_MANAGER
According to (Bug)-trac ticket http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6168 this seems to be a problem of Mac OS X 10.6 which violates the POSIX standard. POSIX allows to call the systemcall fork() without exec() - Snow Leopard is nagging every 5 minutes. Thats annoying me! It's time for LyX version 1.6.5.
Dear LyX-developer: Please hurry up and stand an exec() to your systemcall! Thank you
Try disabling auto-save.

I had this problem. A temporary solution is to run Lyx with Rosetta.
