run ~/.lyx/configure
and have a look for lines like:
+checking for document class IEEEtran [IEEEtran]... yes
+checking for document class ISUthesis [report, isuthesis.sty]...
+checking for document class aapaper [aa]... no
+checking for document class aastex [aastex]... no
+checking for document class amsart-plain [amsart]... yes
+checking for document class amsart-seq [amsart]... yes
