I find it strange that reinstalling LyX does not create
/usr/share/lyx. Are you sure you did purge and not remove? Can you
please post the output of
sudo apt-get purge lyx && sudo apt-get install lyx
I would normally suggest trying the LyX PPA:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3
But I don't think we support 11.04.
Best,
Scott
