Ok, I have n00b question for LPub. I am using a Mac with Bricksmith 2.3.
I have the latest LDview installed and LPub 4.0.0.1. I have 2 issues (they
might be related.
1. When starting LPub I get this error:
failed to open /Applications/Bricksmith/LDraw/parts.lst:
No such file or directory
That is the correct path, and I even made a copy of Bricksmith Parts.plist
named parts.lst still getting error.

The parts.lst file should not be under Bricksmith or have anything to do
with Bricksmith. It should be in the same LDRAW folder where the parts
library is.

Chris is referring to the LDraw folder which is distributed with Bricksmith.
You can move it wherever you want, but by default it comes in the same folder
as the application. (Having a single distribution dramatically lowers the
barrier to entry for new users, from somewhere near “insurmountable” to “it
just works.”)
The reason he didn’t find a parts.lst is that Bricksmith has no use for it.
LDraw itself doesn’t actually come with a parts.lst, and I don’t bother
generating one. It’s a primitive file format that falls short of my needs.

Parts.lst is crude and kind of annoying but given your desire for ‘just works’
(which I highly commend) could you not generate one to help other software to
come a bit closer to that goal?
