Graeme, Linux Mint is a Ubuntu derivative, therefore you could proceed according to the Ubuntu wiki: * Deinstall all TeXLive-Packages of the distribution * Install TeXLive manually: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/TeX_Live/ look at the commands under the heading "Manuell" * Then, in order to install LyX without dependencies do: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/TeX_Live_DVD-Installation/#Paketverwaltung-die-neue-TeX-Live-Version-mitteilen look at the commands under the heading "Paketverwaltung die neue TeX Live Version mitteilen" In English: https://tug.org/texlive/debian.html#vanilla Hope it helps, Tobias -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
