For some reason, RPM does not think that they are installed.

Do this:

        rpm -qa | grep tetex

If you don't have those packages (as RPM claims) then you need to install them
before installed the lyx RPM.

This should give you a list of all your tetex related RPMs. If you
are certain that RPM is wrong in thinking you don't have those installed
packages, them do the rpm using the ``--nodeps'' flag to skip dependency
checking.
