Run Tools-Reconfigure in LyX a couple of times to see if it picks up the texlive installation. Cheers, /Bob Thanks, Bob. Merely running Reconfigure gave me access to most functions (I forgot about that). But now I have to downgrade to tetex if I want to use both LyX and TeXmacs on Mepis/Etch. Should finally be sorted after that... Ryan
