On Kubuntu, with a fresh install, I generally install LyX from the package manager. This means that all of the supporting tools are automatically installed along with LyX. This tends to be a relatively old version, and as I have had quite good luck with the 1.5.0betas, I then manually build a more uptodate version. -- http://www.unmusic.co.uk - about me, music, geek sitcom etc. http://www.unmusic.co.uk/amhs/ - alt.music.home-studio
