The point is that almost nothing works out of the box. Not simple documents,
not the tutorial. Because only texlive-bin package is installed together with
LyX. I will report to the packagers that they should add more texlive packages
to the install dependencies.
I guess the one you have to reach are the Arch Linux maintainers. Like
the packaging for LyX on Ubuntu is really done by debian people.
The packagers of a distribution decide which dependencies a package has.
Nothing _we_ can do here.
Hmm, that is very bad. I think that explains why software companies don't offer
Linux versions. (I saw yesterday that there are no longer Skype, Adobe Reader
and other useful programs on Linux.) Giving support for all the different
dozens of distributions would be a nightmare if every distribution decides on
its own what to install with a program and what not.
I see that texlive-latexextra is mentioned as optional dependency:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/lyx/
I do not know though how this appears in the installation UI. From what
I read, it seems that it is indicated at some point when you install the
package.
