Miguel,
thanks for your advice.
Are you using Mageia5 and have you Lyx 2.2 installed? If so may I ask
you how you did this ?

Hi Michael:
As I did not shall find the package, installed in text mode. Is
perfectly valid. If you want to check it, go to the PAHT / usr / local
/ texlive / 2016 / x86_64
Reconfigure and work

Hi Miguel, hi all
I installed texlive2016 last night:
# ./install-tl -gui (NOT ./install-tl-20160523 -gui)
The installer did not find Perl/Tk but after giving some comments
continued in text mode. After 49 minutes I was greeted 'Welcome!'.
I presume texlive2016 will be fully functionally despite that missing
gui. :-\
Please, could you or somebody else confirm my presumption before I
proceed with installing LyX 2.2.0 etc. ?!
Remains the question why your installation worked with -gui while mine
did not!?
I found perl-Tk (Tk modules for Perl), 804.33.0, 1.mga x86_64 is
installed in my system. It is the only perl-Tk package installed out of
the total number of 24.
The Tex Maintainers say that GUI must be compiled with XFT support - did
you do that?!
In my software manager I see 'lib64xft-gir2.0' and 'lib64xft2'
installed out of another 16 xft packages.
I very much appreciate receiving comments on this issue :-*
Thanks an best,
Michael

Hi Michael:
Yes, Tools > Preferences > PATH
Then reconfigure LyX and work.

Hola Buenas Noticias y muchas muchas gracias!
Your comment is very good news to me especially as it comes from a
person using Mageia5 like I do.
You basically did what I was planning.
But then you also added some very interesting extras that I was not
aware of and nobody before had mentioned.
A have one single question though re 'Preferences-PATH'.
Do you refer to the LyX Preferences Menu Tools > Preferences >
Paths and
then write into PATH prefix ?
Of course I will revert to you after the work is done. However, I
might
come up with more questions if something should go wrong ;-)

Hi:
I download the tarball install-tl-unx.tar.gz and:
tar zxvf install-tl-unx.tar,gz
cd install-tl-20160523
su
pwd
#./install-tl-20160523 -gui
tlmgr is a a binary and shall open de interface to install.
Then you install lyx-2.2.0 and in Preferences-PATH write
/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux
I have Mageia 5 and work fine

Hi Scott, Kornel,
I have now a clean and updated Mageia5 default installation on a
separate HD (no Lyx, no texlive).
My goal is to get Lyx 2.2.0 and texlive2016 running but I am not
sure
how to achieve that.
This is my (very innocent) plan:
- first install texlive2016 using 'install-tl-unx.tar.gz' from
https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html
- then install Lyx 2.2.0 from http://www.lyx/org/download
Is this the right way to do?
If so, please also advise what else needs to be observed/added/done
etc.
Thanks and cheers,
Michael
PS: I just learned that Mageia6 will still come with texlive2013
