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.

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.

Allen - Thanks for that response. So to any other newbies, I simply
downloaded the latest parts update from ldraw.org, and grabbed the parts.lst
file and copied into my LDRAW folder under the Bricksmith folder. After
this, the per step parts list callouts in LPub worked.

FWIW if you want to generate the parts.lst file yourself, the OS-X version
of ldglite comes bundled with a mklist executable. If LPub needs
a parts.lst file perhaps it could be bundled with mklist as well.
