That's because you never responded to my post.

OK. The problem seems to be that reLyX is looking in the wrong directories,
so it never finds the right files. But I don't know the exact reason so I
can't fix the problem quite yet. Please do the following:
(1) type "which reLyX" and "which LyX" so we know where your executables
are.
(2) Attach your reLyX executable to your next email. It should tell us which
directories it's going to look in.
(3) Put the following line into the file
/usr/local/share/lyx/reLyX/ReadCommands.pm at line 257:
print "System lyxdir is $main::lyxdir and personal is $main::dot_lyxdir\n";
Indentation and whitespace don't really matter, and it doesn't matter if
you're a line to high or low. Then rerun reLyX and tell me what the extra
line says.
OK?
