I see that the attached document is similar to what I do, but I couldn't
export it because I lack a package (I get a heck.sty-not-found error).
Actually, my problem is that when I export my document the indexes
created manually don't appear in the PDF (or whatever format). For
example, in the attached document, I'd like to see the table of contents
and, below, another index with the Important word and the page where
it is. But when I export it, there's just the table of contents.
Thanks for your help.

Are you perhaps using the Debian distribution of linux?
I tried your example, and it failed like you say. No index.
Then I tried the UserGuide that comes with LyX, and it also failed to
produce an index.
I use Debian testing, and it turns out they ship a broken clisp
package. When LyX makes an index, it uses a package called xindy,
which in turn depends on clisp. When clisp is wrong, the index is not
produced.
clisp-2.49 does not work, but clisp-2.48 is fine. So the solution is to
downgrade to clisp-2.48. On debian, this command did it for me:
apt-get install clisp=1:2.48-3
Or just download the software and install it yourself.
After this, both the userguide and your file produced indexes as they
should.

I can't use multiple indexes in LyX
Hi, I am new at using LyX and I'm trying to create an alphabetic index in a book. However, there's no such option in the book layout, so I've been trying to use a custom index. I created it by adding a new index called 'Alphabetic index' in Document Settings Indexes. Then I selected the text I wanted to add in the index and I added it with Insert Index entry (Alphabetic index), and a gray box with green letters appeared. After that, I inserted the alphabetic index somewhere in the book (Insert Indexes Index: Alphabetic index) and a gray box labeled 'Alphabetic index' appeared right there. But when I try to export it as a PDF, there is no index (apart from the default table of contents). Am I doing something wrong? If so, how am I supposed to add multiple indexes? Thank you very much. Francesc Gispert PS: I am currently using Debian Wheezy and LyX 2.0.0. The result of '#uname -r' (kernel) is 2.6.39-2-686-pae.
