Regarding the reqs. for powerdot... those should be in place if the Debian packager has their stuff together. That seems to be the case, since I have found that a simple export to plain latex, followed by runs through latex, dvips, and ps2pdf, work perfectly (xpdf and acroread). I still am led to believe that something in LyX's script must have options in it which cause the failure to create this. I do appreciate your help!
