> still ti doesn't help. what dependency still am I missing?.... why doesn't it come with the installer if the linguistic module is supposed to be supported?....
The linguistics module manual (LyX>Help>Specific Manuals>Linguistics Manual) lists the extra packages required for the module, and Covington is among them. I think the key thing to keep in mind here is that LyX is just a gui for LaTeX--even though it is now pretty sophisticated, it relies on the LaTeX distribution for certain functions. You should also have a look at the wiki page: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX . it lists recommended packages that aren't always included in default installations. Maria
