How do they find LSynth? I don't think it is on my path and I don't remember
telling either LPub or MLCad where LSynth is installed.

I would like to, but I have found it rather inefficient, perhaps because I do
not understand how to use MLCad properly. Basically, I don't know how to "undo"
an LSynth run without manually editing the LDraw file, deleting the synthesized
elements and uncommenting the original control parts. I have to exit MLCad and
perform the latter step in a text editor. So tweaking the synthesized parts is
slow.

I wonder if it is related to the missing empty step (below). Perhaps the status
box part of LPub expects one more thing to happen than the rest of it.

Responding to your question in another post, yes, it turns out there is a
trailing step with no parts at the end of the model. I will have to fix that!
