Running on a command line $> tex --version you get the old version, then possibly the new TeX Live binary directory isn't in your path. Assuming a default custom installation (no .deb packages) of texlive 2008, the directory of the binaries must be added to the search path. In Ubuntu the default should be PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH these lines or the relevant ones in your system are added in your .bashrc (or .profile) file in your HOME directory. Then reconfigure LyX and try again. I hope this is a help Regards Ignacio Garcia
