Anything's possible. Why not investigate, starting with this command at the command prompt: locate tex | grep /tex$ Try running each of them, find out which you want, and then strongarm LyX to specify that one. Here's the output of that command on my machine: =================== sl...@mydesk:~$ locate tex | grep /tex$ /etc/texmf/tex /home/slitt/junk/lyx-1.5.4/lib/tex /usr/bin/tex /usr/share/lire/tex /usr/share/texmf/tex /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex /var/lib/texmf/tex /var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex sl...@mydesk:~$ ==================== Probably most of those aren't executables, but it's quick enough to check. Another handy tool is the which command: =============== sl...@mydesk:~$ which tex /usr/bin/tex sl...@mydesk:~$ =============== The preceding shows the first executable tex encountered on my executable path ($PATH).
