I do have the parts that came with the Bricksmith download. I placed the

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.

I don't have a Mac, but if your file system is case sensitive (like most Unix
file systems are), then that might be the cause of the problem.  LDraw files
assume a case-insensitive file system, or an application that's smart enough to
deal with it.  (LDView on linux automatically searches for files of any case if
it fails to find a file using standard case.)  The fact that some parts show up
makes it sound like it could be a filename case problem.
