Are they in your path?
Try:
set path
env | grep PATH
or something similar. Actually,
which latex
should be all you need to know if it's visible or not.
Are you starting LyX from an icon on your desktop or from a command line?
If the former and it works when using a command line then you have some
environment variables (like path) that aren't set when LyX is started from
the icon.
You could just try rerunning Edit->Reconfigure from a running LyX as your
installation environment variables may have been different to those used
for the user account you are now using.
