I do have the parts that came with the Bricksmith download. I placed the
folder in the /Library directory. I believe I have set both applications
to look at that location. After some further experimenting, I have now
found some files that appear to fully display in Bricksmith, but only a
couple of parts show, if any, in LDGLite. (Still have files that do not
display in either application.)
I followed the instructions at the link you provided and downloaded the
.tar archive from ldraw.org and replaced the ldraw folder with that one.
Still having the results decribed above.
