Uninstalled 1.5.1 reinstalled 1.3.7 no change; error messages worded
slightly differently, but still largely non-functional beyond the most
basic commands.
Try running LyX from a terminal, and then running "Reconfigure" when you
get into LyX (if it doesn't try to reconfigure itself). You should get
some information on what LaTeX classes are or are not being found. You
may also want to check your TeX installation. Also...

Something appears to be significantly broken:
Some of the example documents can't even open without reporting an error.
I'm running a Dapper-based MEPIS Linux system. Dapper includes 1.3.7.
I have also installed the Dapper version 1.5.1, from the LyX servers
(which installed without errors).
Opening the example article docbook_article.lyx results in:
Warning: Document class not available
----------------------------------------
The layout file requested by this document,
docbook.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.
This isn't terribly surprising. I don't think I have the docbook styles
needed to produce output with this document either. Try opening the user
guide or something like that. Or try creating a blank document with the
basic article class. And you might also try seeing if LaTeX will compile
a simple document manually.
Attempting to view (DVI) chessgame.lyx results in the following error
message:
An empty output file was generated
followed by:
Lamda.sty not found
You may just not have Lamda.sty. It's not included with all basic TeX
installations.
